Voltore

This post made me laugh! Just roll with it, you'll have more fun. We've never been able to beat Mother Nature and I doubt we will in our GrandChildren's lifetime. Chill, relax and let the blood pressure drop.

and if even if you did buy say just one picture, when you login from home a week later, yup, all the others are there for additional purchase if you so wish....

I'm both a Brit and an American, lived here now for 20 years and if memory serves me right a "Sale" in the UK had strict laws about it when it comes to advertising and pricing etc. Here in the US it's caveat emptor and lies.

We rented AVIS at Tampa and dropped off at Avis on the Sunday morning around 11:30. We were on the shuttle within minutes and on the boat by 12pm. Coming back, we got off the boat around 7:25am, shuttle was waiting and we were on the road by 8am. Worked well for us. I had planned to drop off the family and luggage before the car being dropped off but my wife said we have plenty of time and it wasn't an issue. Harmony was the only sailing on Sundays so curious how efficient they are when there are 4 ships etc...

+1 for the app. Our kids needed noise so we used an iPhone app. Had rain forest and all was well.... (and we charged it at the same time!, a twofer)

We did it, only had to retake 1 picture, and even that had a few weird moments on board. Either way wasn't a big deal.

We just got off the Harmony and we didn’t do the Key. I didn’t miss any benefits. We purchased 1 internet package between 4 of us and logged out & in as needed. It was painless. We were on the boat in 10 minutes as we had done online Check-In and I was in the rental car within 30 mins of crossing the gangway. The cheapest I ever saw it for our sailing was 29.99 a day which for four of us was $840 for the week. Way too much. We had no issues with seeing shows etc. YMMV.

It sounds like they block any port other than the standard web browsing port 80 (http://) and 443 (https://) so yes, look at TeamViewer/LogMein that uses standard web browsing ports. There were some remote desktop plugins for Chrome, but I have never used them. (Ironic using the word ports when it's a ship involved!).

Likewise. Keep the ship warm for us. ?

We are on Harmony a week later. I've taken the view that there is very little I can do about it so will handle it if I need to. My take is the odds that another tropical storm that would hit Port Canaveral on or around the Sunday is fairly low. Yes, it can happen but I suspect once Dorian is gone the risk is low..., whether we do the Eastern Caribbean or not, I roll with the wave.. (sic).

and today my prices dropped. I actually do have a $46 for the ultimate drinks package. Not that cost effective as I don't drink that much alcohol but it's there. (I purchased the refreshment package for us all a while ago!).

For what it's worth, my "special offers" ended yesterday yet mysteriously my prices are the same today. ? (The red line prices includes your discount isn't there though!) That's why the sales are basically BS. YMMV

Basically it's very shady. I have had many offers and the price never changes. I've even waited for the "offer" to expire, then go back and check. Oddly enough it's the same price! Apparently the discount is based on the 'on-board' price!!

The sale always seem to reference the price if you were to purchase on-board. I've received numerous "time limited" sales, BOGO at 50% off etc, and it's basically BS. They claim they take 25% off each person rather than show one at full and 2nd at 50% off. In the past I've waited for the "sale" to end and noticed my price remains the same. In some countries that's fraudulent advertising and illegal but in the US it's caveat emptor. To me it's shady at best.

That would so make my day being told the water park is sold out. Makes it easier to tell the kids. We'll be there late Sep and there is no way I'm dropping ~$260 for them to get bored in less than 2 hours. ?
