It was not a smooth ride down for many passengers and crew. Many sick including myself. Just wondering how our trip home will be. The Norwegian Dawn is docked here too.

Anyone worried about sailing this weekend with the hurricane? Wonder how that will alter courses. I guess time will tell but who has the magic 8 ball to clue us in. Don't forget to pack your patience.

If you have AT&T and put iPhone on airplane mode, when you connect to the web you can make and receive calls at no charge. At least mine have [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]

Is that the only setting change you made? Last cruise I had to pay ATT data roaming charges plus the ship package I bought. What about texting? Internet? Thanks!!!

Beginner Cruises??

I've never heard of beginner cruises either?

Each Diamond member gets one free 24-hour period of unlimited internet OR a $20 discount on a package.

I see. Thanks.

Great, then do the same thing on the ship and you should be fine.

Did I hear something about one of the perks of being a diamond member was get free wifi? I've got a bit to go first ☺️

You should try this at home before you ever cruise. Put your phone in airplane mode, turn on WiFi only and see what works and what doesn't. Unless your phone/carrier allows it and you have it turned on (WiFi texting), texting will not work without a separate app.

Thank you! I did a home trial and was able to text, Internet, and email in airplane mode.

Yes, put on airplane mode. If you go to settings and scroll down to phone, you can turn on wi-fi calling. I always have it on because I don't have good cell service at my house. This changed my life - now my phone works at my house. The phone will say wi-fi in the upper left next to AT&T. When on the cruise, make sure you're in airplane mode. Then you can basically use your phone just like at home - text, make phone calls. It's amazing. And no data or roaming charges.

Ok. Great. I'm ready then! I have my phone settings n toothbrush. Let's go!

Unless you have WiFi Calling (ask your carrier), you won't be able to make or receive voice phone calls without using a program like Skype, WhatsApp, etc.

I'm ok without making a phone call.

Yes, there may be things you cannot do. However, it gets very complicated quickly.

 

What things do you want to do?

I think you covered mostly what I do, the email, texting, FB, and surfing, I just thought I would ask what else since you made it seem like I can't do other things so I will know. Thanks!

Depends what you mean by "service".

 

You will have a connection to the internet, so email, internet texting, FB, etc. witll work fine.

That is what I mean. Are there things I can't do since you are asking what I mean by service? Thank you!!!

Put the phone in Airplane mode. Turn on WiFi. That's it.

Hi. I'm not sure what guest services did but I was double charged so I'm trying to figure this out. How can I still have service if I set it to airplane mode? Thanks!!!

Hi. Can someone explain how to set the iPhone settings if I'm paying for the ships wifi so that I do not also have to pay my AT&T provider roaming/international charges like I had to on our last cruise? How can I text, surf, email etc? Thank you!!

So for an iPhone with AT&T service I just need to put it into airplan mode and enable wifi? Do I need to turn off data? Turn off international data? I too paid for the ships plan and also had to pay roaming/international charges to AT&T. I just want to pay for 1 service, not 2! Help me please to know exactly what settings to change. Thank you!!!
