klfrodo Posted July 13, 2016 Author #78 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Ship board wifi with multiple devices. When not on one device, make sure you go to logout.com when finished. Just shutting down your wifi or shutting down your system does NOT log your device off the server. You can have everything turned off, then try to log back on and not be allowed. Happened to my wife and I a few times till we figured it out Remember logout.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted July 13, 2016 Author #79 Share Posted July 13, 2016 May be of some interest. Mobile Banking Just got through paying some household bills. Internet while on land, in port, or on an excursion. Maybe even want to call home? http://www.xcomglobal.com $14.95 a day lets you rent a mobile wifi hotspot. Used mine in London, Italy, Greece, and Turkey. Unlimited data. Put phone in Airplane mode, turn on wifi and connect to device. Enable wifi calling on your phone, talk all day. Well,,,until the battery on the wifi device dies,,,,which is about 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted July 13, 2016 #80 Share Posted July 13, 2016 When not on one device, make sure you go to logout.com when finished. There was a reminder about this in the Compass on our sailing in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What day was the laundry bag special? 3. What nights were 'formal'? 4. Any shows you would recommend? Other entertainment? Thanks in advance :) Waiters Anastacio Vasconcelos from Brazil He stands outside of the entrance to the Windjammer. He can help make reservations for the specialty restaurants and the Chef's table. During Chefs Table, he is the waiter, bartender and the Sommelier. He's professional, he's kind, he's funny, and he knows how to control a crowd after all the wine and champagne has been consumed at the Chefs Table. Martin Julien from Panama Martin works the early morning shift in the Windjammer. He stands at the omelet station, takes your order and gives out numbers. He was also our assistant waiter in the MTD dining room. Just a pleasant, funny guy Remzi Ozturk from Turkey He work as our waiter in Giovanni's both times we ate there. Also ran across him in the Windjammer one time. All around good person Bartenders No one really stuck out Laundry Special Day 7 Wash and Fold $30 No Jeans allowed Dinner Dress Suggestions Day 1 - Casual Day 2 - Cruise Compass missing - it was a Sea Day - I think formal Day 3 Casual/ 50's & 60's Day 4 - Smart Casual Day 5 - Casual Day 6 - White Attire Day 7 - Romantic Red or Pink Day 8 - Day at Sea Formal Day 9 - Casual Day 10 - Cruise Compass missing so probably Casual Day 11 - Casual Shows We didn't do 1 show Casino is our entertainment. We brought home more than we took, the Sea Pass bill was paid in cash, and wife brought home a W2G. All on penny slots. Note: No Craps Tables. They say that only Americans play Craps.

klfrodo Posted July 23, 2016 Author #96 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Any specials for the specialty restaurants? Not quit sure I understand the question. If asking about coupons or special pricing, then Yes. You can even do this on line beforehand or on the ship. Book 3 specialty nights for $XXX Book 5 for $XX All nights already paid for. All you have to do is pay for any beverages and additional gratuity if so desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did eat at Izzumi on the first night and was not made aware of any discount just because it was the first night. Ate at Chops one night and Giovanni's twice.

Virtopia Posted July 28, 2016 #100 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Who is your captain and do you know if he's staying on thru September? I'll be on the Sept 16 out of Venice and just curious! I'm sure they are all great as I've read the crew for this ship is great. Feel free to come by and join the roll call! So looking forward to this vacation of a lifetime! :D http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2201764 Thanks for this great information, also that my passport will quite possibly be taken away for the duration of the cruise.
