bigeagle12 Posted January 10, 2013 #355 Share Posted January 10, 2013 These internet issues are driving me nuts too. I need my daily Radio fix. I think we all deserve an OBC for our next cruise :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieva Posted January 10, 2013 #356 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I totally agree about the OBC for us! This is driving me crazy:eek:! I keep checking and no report or pics from Radio. I can't imagine how frustrated he must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counsdr Posted January 10, 2013 #357 Share Posted January 10, 2013 We are using an iPad and have had excellent Internet service for the past 12 days with the exception of the one day that they were working on it (San Juan). We have been sending emails with photos at a decent speed and also receiving same. We are very pleased with the Internet onboard. Right now, the Internet speed is almost as fast as at home. They are continuing to adjust and add to the improvements. I am impressed with what has been done as well as the continuing effort. It's so strange that you have internet service and Radio doesn't??? Do you have to pay a wi-fi charge to use your iPad? Enjoy your cruise!!!!! Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counsdr Posted January 10, 2013 #358 Share Posted January 10, 2013 LOL on the OBC!!!!! I'll drink to that!!!!! Poor Radio! I am sure this is driving you crazy!!!!! Try to continue enjoying your cruise though! Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwdwnurse Posted January 10, 2013 #359 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just tuning in and bummed to not find any new pictures! When we sailed a B2B last June on the Enchantment, there were several days that the internet was completely down or really slow. I had to go to guest relations many times and they credited back all of my internet package charges! Mark - have you ever been over to St. John's when in St. Thomas? Can't beat Trunk Bay :) Hope the issue is resolved soon and we get some new pictures...thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizefam Posted January 10, 2013 #360 Share Posted January 10, 2013 There was none on our 10 night Explorer cruise 11/13 either. We never did get a straight answer why, but its looking like it might be a fleet wide thing going on. Not a big deal, but notable. We were on the cruise prior to yours, it was a members cruise, and we had escargot option available every night. It was the brand new menus that RCCL just rolled out on the lines. My daughter & I each had it about 3 times out of 11 nights of dining. It was available as a gluten free option, but I see from Radio's posting of the menu's they are not listed with the icon now. I notice that there are some other changes on these menus that weren't on the Ex in Nov., and like I mentioned the Explorer was using the new menus on that sailing. Perhaps if Radio sees the post, he may ask if there has been some menu tweeking already since they first rolled them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendallrc Posted January 10, 2013 #361 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Radio called and told me No internet on ship. Also no WiFi in Samana or Labadee. He will post as soon as it is fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing wifi is rare commodity in Samana, DR.[/quote'] The icon I was referring to is beside the escargot - it is a symbol of wheat -> which means can be made gluten free. It was on the NEW menu back in Nov on the Ex, from Radios posting of the menus on EN that icon is gone. The NEW menus on EX also look different than the NEW menus on EN. That is what I was referring to being listed with icons and having Radio ask if the new menus have been tweeked since they first came out. I do notice changes, even if very subtle.

TH451 Posted January 10, 2013 #364 Share Posted January 10, 2013 OHH NOOO! No escargot? Don't tell me there's another shortage!!! :eek: Maybe they should go back to one or two nights! If there's an escargot shortage, maybe they can substitute with calamari. There are massive numbers of giant squid in Southern California.;):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counsdr Posted January 10, 2013 #367 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Medic Ken, thanks for the update on Radio. I'm sure he is super frustrated about all of this! I wonder why that other couple is able to post from their iPad if there is no internet connectivity? Radio, I hope you are at least enjoying the cruise!

Candleonwater Posted January 10, 2013 #368 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Maybe we depleted their supplies on our Thanksgiving cruise! ;-) No escargot on the Dec 17th sailing of the Jewel the reason there is a shortage . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Radio Posted January 10, 2013 Author #371 Share Posted January 10, 2013 ** DATELINE JANUARY 10, 2013** The Internet is back on at Enchantment of the Seas. . . After 3 days of agony, I am now able to post. I know, I know. . .Why are you in agony Radio ? You are on a ship in the Caribbean. . . Yes, but I love, love, love to post “LIVE” while on a cruise and it was just cramping my style. Anyway. . We are back and below is my post that I made last night while on aour way to St. Thomas. . . Here we go. . . Hello everyone. . .I just got back to the ship from beautiful St. Thomas. I was hoping I could get a Wi-Fi signal from one of the local vendors here. I was able to pick up several signals. . .but was unable to connect to any of them. I could even pick up the Wi-Fi signal from Grand Princess and Norwegian Epic. . .Ooops. My last chance for a Wi-Fi port is tomorrow in Samana Bay, where we will be anchored. I might be able to get a signal from the Hotel on Cayo Leventado, or at the Samana Bay Marina. Other than that I will have to wait until I get back to Baltimore on Monday. . . I hope they get it fixed soon. . . Many passengers and Crew rely on this signal to socialize with family and friends (Or post “LIVE” for Cruise Critic) It was nice to make it up to Paradise Point this afternoon. The landowners now operate the property and are doing some major renovations to Paradise point. There will be a new bar, restaurant, and shops. . . They will also start the new website for Paradise Point soon. I did have a Bushwacker. . .Wow, that drink packs a punch. . .it will cost you $9.75. . .Ouch ! Here are a few pics from today. . . Thanks for the nice comments. Radio My first glimpse of St. Thomas very early. . . We have to turn hard starboard to get lined up with the pier at Havensight Enchantment of the Seas approaches the pier slowly. . . It appears that we may have another sunny day ! Blue skies on a cruise while in St. Thomas. . . I am a happy boy. . . We are docked directly behind Grand Princess . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted January 10, 2013 Author #372 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Here are a few more pics from St. Thomas. . . Radio The taxis are lining up awaiting passengers. . . It’s time to go ashore and get my rental car from Budget Welcome to St. Thomas Budget Car Rental is very close to the Ship. . . My Cabin is on Deck 7 (STB) My first stop of the day is the beautiful Sapphire Beach Resort. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted January 10, 2013 Author #373 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Here are a few more pics. . . Radio One of the things that makes Sapphire Beach great is the water. . . There are beautiful flowers everywhere There is shade ever you need it. . . The water here is very calm This is a view from a long rock jetty facing the beach (to protect the beach area) The beach area was beautiful. . . .

Rare Radio Posted January 10, 2013 Author #374 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Here are the last few from St. Thomas. . .I will post many more when I return home. I will post Samana pics tonight. . . I want to hurry and post as many as I can . . .just in case there is another problem. Radio They have the best views and the best drinks up on Paradise Point. I drove up, but some people take the tram cars up here. . . Norwegian Epic, Enchantment of the Seas and Grand Princess I can see Allure of the seas and Norwegian Sun from up here as well The beautiful Enchantment of the Seas from way up on Paradise Point. I am back home for a few more nights. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
