Pooch

Thank you. But your big cruise is SOON isn’t it? Forget about us and go have fun!!!

Too long before we board but looking forward to your thoughts & observations. Have a wonderful cruise!

Since we are on the topic, is the a reason or concern that would necessitate turning WiFi calling off? Does my carrier (Verizon) charge a fee to use it?

Yes!!!!! WiFi calling did it!! You all are too smart

I checked my settings and they were all in the on position before I tried, SMS, MMS, Group Messaging all on.

Traditional dining in the MDR is early (5:30ish) or late (around 8pm) seating. My Time Dining in the MDR gives you choice of in between times. Both traditional and My Time take place the MDR. With unvaccinated kids, you will be assigned one of the traditional time slots.

My brother & I are planning at least 4!!

No, it’s $13.

And have “we” figured it out? Don’t wanna miss it!

Have to say I feel less clueless seeing others having issues too.

Or you joined our iPhone cult!!!

Come on guys, clueless here. What’s SMS texting & how do I do that? I’m not old enough to be this confused (at least not til Wednesday). Checked in my settings & “send as an SMS” is enabled.

We will have 4 Voom packages based on cabin level. I tried turning airplane mode on then reconnected to the house WiFi: I could text my IPhone daughter but not my android son. Will figure it out. Thanks for all the help

Works to another iPhone. Now have to figure out how to text my son’s android. He’ll be the one I have to hunt down! Or I could just look in every bar on the ship

Ok really stupid question . When I put my phone in airplane mode for our flights, I cannot send/receive texts. Is this because I am not connected to WiFi? We will have Voom on our cruise so I connect to the ship’s WiFi, put phone in airplane mode and I can text because I’m on WiFi???

The OBC in my lift & shift transferred . This was back in June of last year. I didn’t even think of it but my TA did.

My apologies to the board and to the original poster. I overstepped and I am sorry.

Captain is the law on his ships??

From your own post.

Yes you did

Really, in our current circumstances, with the fate of cruising hanging on every sailing, you think the Captain is going to make his own decisions on how to apply Covid protocols? Because he wants to be the one hung out to DRY if something goes wrong on his watch?? What kind of koolaid are you drinking????

Apparently you missed the “sarcastic” part.

Maritime law has NOTHING TO DO with the crew enforcing ships protocols and they most certainly do not have to wait until a passenger complains to do so.

Why would you want to cruise like this? Let alone 30 times! You CAN get refunds as soon as protocols for each cruise is announced. You say yourself you would not have booked these cruises had you known the testing requirements so why are you still doing it?

Were they handing them out or did you purchase it?
