Marina-IPods

[The Boyz]

Does anyone know if there are IPod docking stations in the suites?

In the Penthouse Suites, I know I saw a USB connection to the TV set that was open and readily available as well as a built in DVD player.

 

I never even bothered to look at our TV in the balcony cabin!

We were in a PH on the maiden voyage and also hoped there would be a hookup for our I-touch/I-pad.

 

Indeed, there is a USB port on the tv, but we were unable to get the proper tv settings to come active to allow us to show our devices on the tv screen.:( But since Marina is still a work in progress for such small things, maybe that will become active in the future. FDR, are you listening?

Kay, How was the wi-fi speed using your IPAD?

Well, the maiden voyage is not a good example, because the internet was still being "tweaked" with new equipment and service by O's internet providers. More equipment and technology was scheduled to arrive onboard in Miami, however, and we were told future cruisers could expect to see significantly improved service.

 

Because of these known issues, O made internet use complimentary on the maiden voyage. The gentleman in charge of the computer center was most helpful and worked long hours to assist passengers meet their needs/expectations. Therefore, while the internet was sometimes frustrating, O handled the issue in a proactive, generous and professional manner, in my opinion.

 

When the entire system is fully "debugged" I am confident the service will certainly be better than we experienced, so I reserve judgement until that has taken place.

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks David had advised us the internet was complimentary but hoped it was a great deal faster than the other R ships.

It should be not only faster but cheaper. O's prices are way out of line with other cruise lines.
