Thanks, both! Very helpful, and yes, I will try to bring some photos back. :)

Beach, what night was the was was your Chef's Table? We are booked for CT on our cruise (leaving in 1 week!), and I still haven't been able to convince anyone at Carnival to tell me what night it will be held on!

Thanks!

Glad I"m not the only one :cool: - I did end up pre-booking the Value Plan - allows me to check in with the dog sitters easier while we are gone anyway.

Thank you everyone for taking time to respond. This is very helpful.

We are heading out on the Magic in 3 weeks, and I'm wondering if I would be able to access the online game Hay Day with the Social Wifi plan, or would I need to go with the Value Plan? :confused:

Thanks, ya'll! Very helpful perspective. I'm afraid the airplane mode doesn't work (a good suggestion all the same), but the opt-out suggestion for Derby is a winner for sure. If anyone does know how 'steady' internet service on the Getaway is, that would be super - just in case I can't quite leave the techno world behind for a week. :p

Hello all,

Hubby and I are sailing this weekend on the Getaway, and I've been debating whether to get the internet package or not. One reason to do so (besides being able to post photos of the tasty cocktails I'll be drinking) would be so I can keep feeding my chickens and cows on the iPad game, Hay Day. But, many iPad games requires an active internet connection to work, and as I've surfed through these boards, it sounds like Getaway internet is not what one could consider to be 'constant'. I'd hate to fork out money for internet if we can't really use it.

Have any Getaway-ers had good (or bad) experiences with using internet for casual gaming on board?

Thanks all,

Jen
