Is it easy enough to connect to the Voom network? 5 hours ago, Saman said: Yes i'm also thinking about getting one if anyone can give us more info . It’s not intuitive the first time but it’s pretty easy. You have to connect your phone to the tripmate’s WiFi network. Once connected to tripmate, open your browser and go to Tripmate’s admin page (address is on the back of the router), and in there is an option to connect Tripmate to wifi. Select Royal’s wifi network. After tripmate says it has connected, go to login.com and enter your access code, as you normally would. From then on every device connected to hootoo will be able to access the internet since they are connected through the “logged-in-to-voom” device. I mentioned hootoo here but there are plenty of other brands of travel routers that may be better. I’m not sure if the one I have can clone the MAC address like Bob mentioned, which would be necessary if they blocked it on their network. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditmar2007 Posted January 12, 2019 #53 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Tidy up. Do it again. And again. At least every time I leave the cabin. That way it doesn't seem so cramped to this lowly interior cabin cruiser 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObstructedView2 Posted January 12, 2019 #54 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Request a plastic liner be placed into your ice bucket from your stateroom steward. Don't put all of your trust in that a cabin ice bucket is 100% clean/sanitized. Many passengers that can't make it to the bathroom in time to vomit might use that ice bucket instead of the toilet. Just a little something to consider. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if they still do. Deck 14 observation area, above the bridge wings. Go forward in the deck 14 port side passenger corridor through a door. I’ll look for this!

Just a little something to consider. IME, ice buckets are either supplied freshly filled with ice (after having been cleaned), or a baggie is already supplied, or both. Never seen ice just dumped into a questionable container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovetheTXsun Posted January 21, 2019 #57 Share Posted January 21, 2019 These were ones I used from the CCL thread the OP mentioned that worked for us! Take cheese sampler to-go from mdr back to cabin at night. Either a late night snack with wine or pair with room service the next morning for breakfast on the balcony. I will bring a small plastic container this upcoming cruise so it doesn’t take up room in the fridge. Use soft serve ice cream as coffee creamer. Purchase small inflatable floats from Dollar Store. Easy to inflate yourself/deflate. Use during excursions to the beach. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovescats5 Posted January 21, 2019 #58 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Why does book an inside room fit in this category? We read about the underwear and throwing it away but then did not want the room steward to have to take care of our discarded underwear (just a silly quirk I guess). I always take a larger plastic bag to put dirty clothes in because most times all clothing is not worn and I do not want to mix dirty with clean. We also take a small first aid kit with band aids, q-tips, antibacterial cream, motion sickness tablets, aspirin, or whatever you think you might need. That has saved us many times. We have added cough drops just in case. Magnets have never seemed to work for us but have loved some of the other ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know PERSONALLY, but I have HEARD, that they work fine. Of course I would NEVER take one of a nice single malt for a wee dram on the balcony in the evening. Even though we typically get the drink package. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyal2Royal83 Posted January 22, 2019 #62 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) As far as travel steamers, we made it on Oasis in October 2016 with one, but it was confiscated on Serenade in November 2018. Both were out of Fort Lauderdale. Also, the Helipad on Serenade was a GREAT place to hang out for the sail away.

kmorg1234 Posted January 22, 2019 #65 Share Posted January 22, 2019 HooToo TripMate works for us too- we even take it with us when we leave the room to use on different decks when we are lounging around. Great purchase. Always take it with us even to shore vacations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the TM-02, which doesn't have its own battery. It is smaller and lighter but you would need to attach an external battery if you want to use it on the go. https://smile.amazon.com/HooToo-Wireless-Performance-TripMate-Hotspot/dp/B00HZWOQZ6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
