Can anyone tell me what the ship inside temperature is like in public areas, dining rooms and bars? Do people generally feel hot or cold as I assume it’s all air conditioned? I need to know whether to pack extra jumpers and trousers or lighter things. I’m on the SoD Canaries Discovery 17th February.

Thank you for all your inputs. I’m going to have a go with payments while onboard but will provide a relative at home with some funds to cover as a backstop if the payments don’t go through. Cheers.

Thanks for your reply regarding the public network. Yes, the transaction validation is my main concern hence query on performance of banking app for validation. However my apps will send a validation code via email as an alternative. No, unfortunately it’s not possible for me to pay early, I have a 24 hour booking and payment window only. Cheers

Hello, I will be on Spirit of Discovery soon and will have to pay for a future holiday while sailing from UK to Madeira with a credit card via the internet. There is a specific date that this transaction needs to be done and I have 24 hours to complete the payment. We do not have any port calls during that time. Is the wifi usually OK to browse to an internet page and complete a payment form? More important is this public wifi or a secure connection? Also has anyone had experience of using banking apps and credit card apps for transaction approval if this is necessary? I will also have an option to use PayPal to make the transaction as an option. I welcome comments from anybody with experience of doing this type of transaction onboard.
