Mac use on Explorer

[flutepilot]

Hi gang,

 

Somebody on another un-related (a flute mailing list) was told that a mac will not work on board RCCL ships. Is this true? I can't believe that a line would make their server not work with the *other* computer brand.

 

Thanks in advance!

Its all the same technology. A mac will work fine.

I can't imagine how or WHY they would 'make it not work.'

Well their website certainly isn't all that Mac friendly. Most of the 360 software uses octet/stream which is a PC based platform for video. Quicktime doesn't convert it. So you don't get to see the 360o sweeps of the cabins on the web.

I have used my Mac on the Navigator and the Enchantment with no problems. But I have read that Safari has problems. I didn't, but just in case I had Firefox on my mac. Hope this helps....:)

The website works perfectly on my MacBook Pro, although I do use Chrome and Firefox instead of Safari, which I've noticed doesn't cooperate properly with MANY websites.

I've used my macbook with no problems. As the other poster said, I use Firefox instead of Safari.

Thanks so much, gang.

 

I knew I could count on this bunch!

Had my own Windows based PC, but saw plenty of Mac's around the ship everyday. Explorer 11/21-29

I use Safari and don't have any problems with 360 views.
