skandls Posted April 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I am planning on using my iPhone as my camera. Can I download the photos using the Oceania computers to a usb flash drive or sd card? Will there be internet charges if this works? I don't want to bring my netbook if I can avoid it. We have enough electronics with charging cords that we will be bringing with us.

RetiredFL Posted April 13, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Others may have better info but in the past they have not allowed any "attachments" to their computers. A friend kept a personal log on the Oceania computer, planning to download it to a flash drive at the end of the cruise. They would not let him do it until they had cleaned his flash drive several times and even then they were not very willing. I guess they fear contamination with a virus, etc. I would not plan on using a flash drive unless someone can give you more up to date info.

potterhill Posted April 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Also you cannot print any emails you receive through Oceania at sea email. Have to mail them to yourself if you want to keep them......I was not impressed. Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaulMCO Posted April 14, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Of course if you are in a PH cabin, there is a Notebook PC there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skandls Posted April 15, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thanks for the info. It seems the best choice is to pack the netbook and download pics on my own. Travel with all my 'toys' and cords - welcome to 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobh Posted April 15, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2012 If your iPhone is linked to your desktop (iMac or similar, Macbook, etc.), you can activate the iCloud function on settings, and then the photos you take with your phone are stored there for access by any of the connected devices. Of course, you might face foreign phone charges, etc., so check out the most convenient, least objectionable alternative and see what might work. It could mean a trip to the Apple Store to become familiar with the Cloud re photos, but could also save lugging around an extra device, cord and surge protector.

Bob H I don't want to incur download charges. And after much research - I have found that the number of cords we need to bring is minimal with a wall usb charger. Lucky for me DH is a big guy capable of lugging the extra weight from the netbook and its brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
