  1. I'm thinking of trying a hack on my voyage in a week - before boarding, use your phone to get your watch's WiFi address from General/About - should be 12 hex characters. Get the same thing from your laptop. Write these down. Turn off wifi on your laptop, watch, and phone before boarding. Once aboard, set your laptop's WiFi address to be the same as what you wrote down for the Apple Watch, then use laptop to log into the service on the boat and get past the captive portal. Turn off your laptop's WiFi. Turn on your watch's WiFi, and if this hack works, it will be able to access the usual internet-related services. If you need to use your laptop, turn off the WiFi on your Apple Watch first, then turn on the WiFi on the laptop. As long as only one of them is on at a time, this might work. All of this is only necessary because the Apple Watch does not provide a way to get past the login screen - it really ought to be something Royal adds to their App, so you could for example use texting from your watch while on CocoCay without having to lug your phone around. Note that you need a laptop that is capable of setting any desired WiFi address. On the Mac you go to Terminal then sudo ifconfig en0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Note that rebooting the Mac resets the WiFi (MAC) address back to the HW defaults.
