I went to the pool yesterday about 1 and no problem getting a chair, even if it wanted it by the pool. I went up a deck and plenty of chairs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were at Giovannis last night as well and it was excellent, except for 2 things - The minestrone soup was very salty. Both people that had it only had a spoon full and could not eat it and second...Passengers. First half the meal there was a baby crying and parents not really doing anything to stop it and then a couple at another table get on FaceTime with the volume up loud and start a conversation that the entire restaurant could hear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted April 23, 2023 Author #334 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I've read reports that Voom works best at the Voom computer area on deck 7. I suspect that because there is a Meru access point on top of the desk area. Top speeds are not any faster, it's just a more reliable signal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted April 23, 2023 Author #335 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) I logged into one of the ship computers. The upload speed is a little better. I noticed a different public IP address. On other ships I've experienced load balancing across the multiple Starlink antennas on a session basis. On Radiance they appear to be allocating different areas of the ship, or different subnets, or different logins to different Starlink antennas yielding a different public IP address. Logging back in on my phone it's another address different from my cabin and the ship computer. So they aggregating the bandwidth across multiple Starlink antennas but are doing it differently from another ship. Maybe they are trying different approaches to see what yields the best user experience. Edited April 23, 2023 by twangster 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleDefends Posted April 23, 2023 #336 Share Posted April 23, 2023 twangster, Were the sunrise photos taken with your smartphone or a different camera? If a different camera, do you mind sharing what gear you used and the settings? Great review! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted April 23, 2023 Author #337 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Nice chat with our Loyalty Ambassador just now. Vernon is such a nice guy. There were around 140 crystal blocks awarded this cruise. Vernon wanted guests to board the ship and find their blocks waiting for them so he stayed up until 1am the night before turn around to get it done. He has a sample of the new style blocks on board. Old and new style. Rear Side I like the new style. After the 140 distributed this cruise there are around 200 of the old style on board. He leaves early June for vacation and he's not sure when the old style will run out. Edited April 23, 2023 by twangster 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a few seconds each. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't get online from my cabin about 2 am both nights in a row I tried. Couldnt sleep and got up to go online. Maybe because I'm female I dont like the shoe in the door idea middle of the night. .. might during the day idk ..but found the business office good for wifi so if during the day I'd just go there. I'm not tech so that's how I did it .. didnt measure just went where it worked better. My cabin far forward deck 9 wasnt good for wifi. You changed your avatar? At first I thought someone else had same name or similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn’t want any chance of a virus being introduced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I changed my avatar to change things up. I get tired of looking at my face. 😉 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare little britain Posted April 23, 2023 #350 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) For the ladies: this is the only RCI ship where I have seen second hand Louis Vuitton bags and purses for sale. Otherwise it’s the usual selection of Guess etc Edited April 23, 2023 by little britain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
