driftychick Posted April 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Hello, Does the Solstice have an Apple Store and if so, what deck is it on? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted April 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2023 First question is, are your trying to exhaust some OBC? If yes there are better ways. Solstice does have one but like all X ships, they do not sell current generation products and you can often find these older generation products cheaper from a real apple store 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used one of these with great success. I normally transfer phones to the USB drive and then to my laptop. Then edit them to remove any blurry photo's or ones I do not like, and then transfer them off the laptop after the cruise. Full disclosure - I have never seen them for sale onboard. https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-iXpand-iPhone-Silver-SDIX30N-064G-GN6NN/dp/B01CIEBS74 Edited April 7, 2023 by DaKahuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driftychick Posted April 7, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Thank you, I think I will get one of these and give it a go. I am glad to have your "first hand user" report! Wish me luck and Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guindalf Posted April 7, 2023 #10 Share Posted April 7, 2023 FTR: We were on Solstice Jan 28th-Feb 4th. I had forgotten my USB-C charger (for my iPad Pro) and they couldn't even loan me one let alone seel one. They had absolutely nothing for sale at all. I can confirm that the above USB drive is perfect for transferring photos (failing being able to use AirPlay). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an iPad and also an MacBook Air and since I have iCloud enabled, my photo's show up automatically. I still use the USB drive to pull them off my phone when cruising as it's easy. It also gives me another copy of the photo's in case something happens with syncing with iCloud. I can delete them from my iPhone once they are copied to the drive and not have to worry about running out of space on my iPhone, it's only a 256 Gb model 🙂 Edited April 7, 2023 by DaKahuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free: 5GB of storage per iCloud account (not per device) $0.99/month: 50GB of storage (single user) $2.99/month: 200GB of storage (family use) $9.99/month: 2TB of storage (family use) my wife and I share the 200gb plan, I havent took up my phone to a laptop in years This is still the easiest way to to get them to an external drive still going on shore to use wifi anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My phone has 512 GB but when apple syncs to iCloud it only keeps a thumbnail of older pictures and will bring back the original if you view it or send as an attachment. With iCloud enabled I'm only using 2.94 GB space on my phone for photos --- and I shoot tons of photos in Live Quality. I just loaded a bunch of Audio Books and using a huge 77GB for my books, but delete them as I finish reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted April 8, 2023 #19 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I am currently using 197.3 GB of my 200 GB plan. 150 GB are documents from my MacBook Air, which I also have synced to iCloud. I guess I should take the time to go in and clean those up since I also have them backed up to my NAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
