CruisinShips

Forget the "lukewarm meals" in the MDR. My hope is that they can't check in with their offices because their "premium" internet sucks, and they can't find anything decent to watch on their cabin TVs during their downtime.

Luminae is our go-to as well, but I am looking for somewhere that has Italian/Pasta choices...

Sorry...I now see there is a complimentary venue called Tuscan. How does it compare to Tuscan Grill on the S-class ships?

We have cruises booked on the Apex and Beyond, and my wife loves her pasta. Do any of the restaurants consistently offer Italian fare? Thanks

Good question. American ESPN (sans cricket, rugby and soccer), TBS, Travel Channel, Food Network, TNT, even Bravo or AMC…and not on a loop lol.

I wonder why people who don’t have an interest in Tv (or my question) feel compelled to say they don’t like to watch tv lol.

I'm not talking about the on demand movies...I am talking about the limited choices of channels and the randomness of the shows they do show on those channels. And with all due respect to those who say "because they don't want you in your cabins"...I don't buy that. You would think with all of the streaming services and content out there today, someone would come up with a way to improve it over the same old limitations we have been seeing since my first cruise many years ago. I know this probably isn't a big deal to many cruisers...but it's just one of those things I wonder about. 😉 Anyone have any insights?

Yes, that's what I noted above. Our cabin (Deck 11) was horrible...at times we had to go on the balcony just to have a text or imessage go through. But in the common areas and on the pool deck it was fine.

We visited Quebec City as a part of a land tour last year...one of my favorite places.

We were on the Eclipse 10/1-8, and it was very sporadic. Very sporadic. It wasn't as bad in the common areas as it was in our cabin (Deck 11). And TV was horrible as well...channel selection was bad (as it usually is, which is confounding and annoying that in all our years of cruising, nothing has changed), but we also had multiple times when most of the few channels were off the air/unavailable.

We did. Fog came and went just in time for our passage under the bridge. IMG_0733.mov

We were fortunate enough to be in a CS, 1618, which has an angled balcony. It was really wonderful and we spent a lot of time out there.

On the Eclipse. The weather was beautiful as was the scenery. IMG_0778.mov

Telling me I have $600 to spend. It shows the Reservation number of the Eclipse cruise I was on last week, and references an Equinox cruise (that I am not, nor have ever been booked on) in two days from now. I assume I just ignore it as it was clearly a glitch in their system...just curious if anything like this has happened to anyone else. And no, the cruise doesn't show up on my future cruise list.

Mine is the same as yours. So are we saying that should be set Never until VPN is turned on?

I am pretty sure YouTube TV app showed a message that said location services must be on to use it.

Good to know, thanks. Internet was very sporadic in our stateroom on our Pacific Coastal cruise on the Eclipse last week.

Last week in Mexico, using ExpressVPN, youtube TV rejected my location. I tried both Miami and LA.

I was married on a RCL ship in 2008...we and our guests were boarded early, got married at port (in Miami) by an RCL officiant, had a short reception with a cake, and our non-cruising guests left the boat. I'm not sure how it works if you actually want to do it at sea.

I'm curious how one gets a doctor's note confirming they have Covid? I didn't go to a doctor when I had it last year, and I assume your doctor's office doesn't want you to come in. How exactly would you get them to complete any paperwork without examining you?

I made the mistake of wearing these to the OVC.

We just got off the Eclipse. Most people looked very nice on Chic nights, and it was nice. But those who didn’t had zero impact on my evening.

So we’re tophats entails. Should people still wear those as well?

No one will care. FWIW, nice sneakers with dressier outfits are very much in style these days.
