I felt very limited and "threw away" a lot of pictures I wouldn't post on the blog. Even some that I did post were marginally acceptable and as i look at them I find myself saying "that would be such a better photo with my real camera". I'm keeping the Moment lenses and I'll take them on excursions or to places I can't or won't bring my Nikon but I won't cruise again without it. Totally understand. I have the luxury of "not knowing what I'm missing" and only knowing my phone's level of quality. Which is probably a good thing, or I'd be going into debt buying at least a micro four thirds body if not a full-blown DSLR, plus however many lenses, plus carrying bag, plus... I do have to say that I'm a little less satisfied with the Moment Tele lens after using it last weekend to photograph / take video of my older daughter's final performance with the youth chorus she's been in the last 9 years. The edge distortion in many of those photos and video clips is a lot more noticeable than the pics I took on my cruise, with people on the edges of the pictures horribly blurred or distorted (maybe the lens needs a cleaning?); creative cropping was necessary (where possible) to clean up most of the pics.

The Moment tele is my least favorite lens. They claim it's a "bokeh" effect. I think that is clever marketing to justify the edge distortion. Quote

I first mentioned this in the first post. It has come in very handy. The latest update to 11.3.1 on iPhone continues to have wifi issues. When I'm on 'royal-wifi' my phones don't roam around the ship very well without disconnecting from the the wifi. I first noted this on Serenade when I upgraded to 11.3 during the cruise. After the upgrade I experienced more wifi issues. I blame Apple for this, not Royal. With the above travel router and it's internal battery I can slip it into my pocket and wander around the ship. My phones stay connected to it and I don't have to re-connect every time I wake up my phone. I've placed several wifi phone calls through it and I've scoped through it. It seems to work well. I’ve got the same device and love it. I use it constantly but I have one issue that I’m wondering if you know the fix @twangster. How do I forget a network without resetting the device to factory settings? I had it connected to the hotel Wi-Fi but it remembered a previous connection to my hotspot and switched there chewing up all my data. I can’t seem to find a forget network function. I know there are obvious workarounds like changing the hotspot password but would like to try to find a primary fix. Quote
