You have a vacation to enjoy...you should do just that, not diagnosing and sleuthing! And especially since you have family there. I have a TA coming up and I'll have some time to do a little sleuthing. I'll post whatever I can come up with. In the meantime, enjoy the remainder of your cruise...

Could the power supply be the issue? https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/gl-mt3000-disconnects-triggered-by-windows/31241

Thanks for your comments on the MT 3000. Which firmware do you have? The current is 4.5.0. released in late January. Apparently some of the prior releases had issues which could result in disconnects...

@ah33919Was following this thread with great interest as I picked up the MT 3000 a few days ago. I've been plodding my way through the set up process. As you are on the Icon tomorrow with the MT3000 in tow, will be interested in your impressions of it if its not too much trouble...hopefully you'll post them at some point when you return. Thanks and enjoy your cruise...

@avp1234 Put the lid down when the toilet is not in use. An example of a useless celebrity apologist here...saying its hubby's own fault. SMDH...

@avp1234 Please don't pay any mind to the celebrity apologists here...your husband experienced a very serious situation which needs to be addressed. And especially so if he is immuno-compromised. Do what you need to do to get YOUR satisfaction that this situation is indeed addressed. Forget everyone else...you and your husband are who matters here.

I actually have one of these purchased for a different purpose. And now it will be repurposed, thanks to you. Hat tip to you GM99...

Between your explanation and TSC's (above) I now understand this better. Thanks for your input...

So combining your explanation with Nutaboutgolf (below) the transaction would be: 1. Sign into Apex's wifi [which is theoretically unencrypted but totally risk free] 2. Access your VPN via wifi [encrypted transaction] 3. Access Netflix/Max/Starz/etc [encrypted sign in] The key being signing in via your VPN... Thanks much TSC...

Clearly the good Captain knows a thing or two about communicating with her clients and leveraging technology to advantage. Good for her...much respect!

I was recently on the Apex and purchased their internet package. I brought my Roku stick along with the intention of occasionally watching Netflix and other streamers during any time we had in the cabin. What I realized after logging onto the ship's wifi is that it was really an open wifi (and to think I paid for such wifi)...I got alerts from my internet security software that the network was unsecured. So I realized that if I logged into my Netflix account, I would be in effect publishing my account credentials to whomever happens to be the resident hacker on the network at that time. Not willing to put myself at risk, I did without. Never plugged in the Roku stick, nor did I access Netflix. I only used the ship's wifi for occasional surfing of the web for news and sports reporting. I did nothing that required inputting credentials. So my question: What does one do to protect themselves if one chooses to log in to these accounts on a cruise? Does a VPN provide that protection? And do I get a VPN, despite only having need for one on the 2 or so cruises I do a year (which are never longer than 2 weeks or so)? Or am I missing other uses for the VPN? As a rule I never use internet cafes or any other spot the has an open unsecured wifi so I don't see the value in enrolling in a VPN for a year or more. The 2 times or so that I would need to use the VPN every year wouldn't justify the expense. I would just do without Netflix and related streaming when I'm away from home. Am I missing something? Are there other uses for a VPN that I'm missing? And was I being a bit paranoid about not wanting to sign into Netflix or other streaming providers such as Max or Starz while on a ship's open wifi? Would appreciate hearing from those knowledgeable on this...many thanks in advance.

@PacnGoNow @CruiserBruce Thanks for the info. Was just on the Total Wine site and they deliver. And they have the wines that I want as well. All good! Thanks again...

Anyone ever had wine delivered to their hotel before a cruise? We'll staying at the Courtyard in Dania the day before cruising and wanted to bring a couple of bottles on board to enjoy during the cruise. Any recommendations of establishments that have a good wine selection? Many thanks in advance...

Got it...thanks!

We're scheduled to return to port at 7am off the Celebrity Apex in January. There's a flight that leaves FLL at 10:45am. Assuming no unexpected events on board resulting in delays, is getting the 10:45am flight out of FLL doable, or should we choose a later flight. Thanks in advance for your input...
