Just Boarded the Rhapsody in Venice


Recommended Posts

Just to share

I bought the unlimited internet package for 2 devices.

I own an iPhone 6S Plus.

I placed my phone in Airplane Mode

Turned on the WIFI and connected to the ships network.

I then enabled WaiFI Calling on my phone.

 

I made multiple calls during the cruise back to the States.

The call quality was great.

I received no additional charges from my carrier for these phone calls.

That WiFi calling is a great feature to have. I understand that in order to do this you have to have the right phone, right software verson, right carrier, and have enabled it on the phone.

Grahame Sinclair was the piano entertainment in the Schooner bar.

 

My wife kept all the Cruise Compass handouts.

However, they have not been scanned yet. If you have a question,,, ask away.

 

 

Hi, thanks for all the information. Have you shared the compasses somewhere?

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

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.

 

Hey Canadian 's play craps too ;)

 

Just curious did they have any Super Times Pay or multi line video poker in the Casino?
