I'm planning to do an extensive review on our upcoming 12 day cruise. However I'm planning to do it all from my iPhone... if I can. BTW…just upgraded my iPhone X to the 14. Pretty nice upgrade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could still be in NY wondering where I’m supposed to be. 😉 Went to check my excursion. No tender this time. 12:30 meet up on the pier. My view from my Balcony! I got your back. But you’re on your own with 50ish lady in the hallway. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went from Xs Max to 14 Pro Max. With my heavy phone case, it doubles as a weapon. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted November 3, 2022 Author #379 Share Posted November 3, 2022 More entertainment from last night. These folks were playing in the atrium. They’re quite good and had the dance floor jumping. Casino….Cash Hold’em is “my game”. They have one table dedicated to the game. Have passed by it several times, at different times in the evenings, and at most, there would be two other people waiting to play (which isn’t enough). Finally settled in for a couple of hours of Black Jack last nite. Result? +$60 Hey, it’s not a negative!!!!!!!😂 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My iPhone is with me everywhere. That’s why I post so often. iPad is easier, though…bigger screen and way better keyboard! Can’t wait to read/see your review! Thanks, I hate typing on my iPhone but I will have my MBP since I'll be taking a lot of video... mostly underwater 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also went with the Pro Max…and maxed it out with 1TB. Bottom line, I switched from T-Mobile (signal inexplicably became much worse at home and they couldn’t figure out why) to Verizon (who has their own issues with spam calls). Verizon gave me $500 to switch, sold my iPhone X to one of my son’s friends for $175. Sold my GoPro on flea bay for $200. Not cheap, but used all those proceeds to buy the 14. I don’t shoot underwater, but with that much space, I decided I could sell me GoPro. The recent iPhone’s image stabilization is good for video. Funny story (at least I think so)….I sat down at the Black Jack table last night and pulled out my iPhone. Dealer said I was forbidden to. Went all out in outfitting my 14 when I bought it with an Apple case and a Mag Wallet. I explained to the dealer my keycard and money were stored with my 14 case. Dealer had to call over the pit boss for permission to pull out my iPhone to get what I needed to play. I just chuckled.

I've got 256 on my phone, however I have 4TB of SSB on my laptop and I'll bring my 8TB portable drive. Shooting 4 and 5.3k at 60 and 120fps gives you some massive files Lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted November 3, 2022 Author #389 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I know I’m going to catch “heck” from some of you for this, but I enjoy listening to music and podcasts while showering or having cocktails on the balcony. Found this little gem on Amazon for $30 a couple of weeks before the cruise. Bluetooth/waterproof speaker that sounds 10X as good as it has any right to given the price. And no, I don’t blast it. I don’t believe my neighbors can even hear it unless they’re peaking around the corner into my balcony. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL may follow one of these days/years, but in Las Vegas, at least at the MGM properties, they've lifted their "no phone" rules at the tables. Now you can text, surf, or do whatever else you do with your phone (I'm assuming not live video!) to your heart's content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
