edgee Posted August 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2023 My specialty reservation window for November cruise on Vista opens while I am on another cruise line ship with notoriously unreliable internet. It will be during a sea day. If internet us down, I am wondering if I will be able to make reservations using my smart phone while at sea using Cellular at Sea service. Has anyone had experience using their smart phone rather than computer to make specialty reservations. Any stories of success or difficulty? Thanks.

Rare LHT28 Posted August 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Maybe the computers onboard will be working or if you have the Concierge that will help book the options for you ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, the computers in the computer center, at least on the O and R ships, are not hard wired and are also using wifi. Perhaps someone onboard can verify.

Unless I am missing what he stated, he will not be on an Oceania cruise when the reservations open. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be on a Celebrity cruise, actually, and hear the internet is horrible on the ship. So all I wondering is how easy or difficult is it to make specialty reservations on a smart phone in case I need to resort to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that everyone was responding as though you were to be on an Oceania cruise at the time. I just wanted to point that out. Hopefully someone can answer your inquiry on booking on a smart phone. I never have personally on a smart phone. I have on ipad….and that worked easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgee Posted September 4, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Just thought I would answer my own question about ease of booking dining reservations using a smart phone. Reservations window opened today for my November cruise. Was able to book them easily using my Android phone. Was worried because I am currently on a Celebrity ship on a sea day in the Eastern Med. Fortunately the ship has installed Starlink internet and it works great for callls, texting and internet...a different world from cruise ship internet of the past. Hopefully Oceania's Starlink will work as well. Edited September 4, 2023 by edgee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
