Rare TPKeller Posted March 3, 2012 #128 Share Posted March 3, 2012 On the Pride they have cellular service with most major carriers. I have a smart phone (although it's a lot like a smart car, not really so smart!) and I have Verizon (hate em) service. I had service through my phone which I has a wifi hotspot. I called Verizon long before I went on the cruise and they (customer service)said something like "you have unlimited data service so it really doesn't matter how you use it. You should see no additional charges." I Just paid an extra $75 this month for that service. (I cut it off after 2 days at sea when I started getting messages that I had used $25, then $50.) BUT THE SERVICE WAS GOOD. I measured a square 1.5 Mbps (up & down) at one point. There's really a lot more to it but that's the jest! Sudsy:) It sounds as though the customer service rep you spoke with did not understand that you would be using the phone in a place where international roaming rates applied. All the documentation I've seen for cell phone usage at sea indicates that the rates are set by the carrier, according to their international roaming rates. Technically, what is happening is that there is a satellite communication system on board the ship which is converted over to a cell phone signal, so that it will work with your phone. The one satellite provider contracts with each of the individual carriers and they pass the costs along to you in the form of international roaming rates. I've never read any claim by any carrier that this service is offered for free in a monthly user package.

welovetocruisetwo Posted March 3, 2012 #136 Share Posted March 3, 2012 What is the Quest? Even though I don't know what it is I want to do it! I'm going to be a bit more informative than others have been regarding your question. Remember though I can't tell you TOO much!!:eek: Think "adult scavenger hunt"!! Toss in quite a few nuts, shake well and spill them out on the floor. You'll see almost everything.....and some things you wish you hadn't seen! Go, laugh, enjoy and oh yes, don't take any children with you. It is definitely an adult event!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted March 3, 2012 Author #137 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Are you sure you're just not facing in the right direction? People have been known lose their sense of direction on cruise ships very easily. They also seem to forget how to work an elevator.:D I've got an aft facing balcony. The record is the NCL Jade in Feb 2008. We must have backed at least 1/2 mile out of Puerto Vallarta before we started going forward again. But because the Windjammer is forward and all the shops are on six (not four or five) I do find myself going in the wrong direction while on deck 10 (the sun deck) or going to the wrong deck when I want to go to the store or Guest Services.

Cuizer2 Posted March 3, 2012 Author #138 Share Posted March 3, 2012 they dont need to fix or replace the computers..the biggest problem is the SATELLITE...it's a ship, sailing at sea..they are not equipped with 3G or 4G service nor do they have high speed internet I call the ship regularly on my regular landline phone and often canNOT get thru...its all the same thing - the satellite matter of fact..I'm fixin to call the ship right now! lets see how the connection is................ Does the ship actually come when you call it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted March 3, 2012 Author #139 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Where is Enchantment this morning? Have they reached their next port? Antigua - and guess what, the ship is dead in - oops! - I mean we are not moving. This probably wasn't the captain's best parking job ... But maintenance got right on it ... and worked their magic ... and the ship is almost as good as new ... As you know, English is their second or third language, so they didn't get the spelling right. But they can fix that in Baltimore. All the above pictures were taken in Antigua. I'm on a free wi-fi about 300 feet from the end of the dock. The wi-fi is free, but you have to buy a drink. A can of Coke cost $3.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted March 3, 2012 Author #140 Share Posted March 3, 2012 We are sailing in March. Thanks so much for the daily postings, I'm loving the read. Please recommend your favorite entertainment - like if anything is a "don't miss this show." Also, any hints about the port calls are welcome too. We are a younger side family 40's (I guess I can still call us younger) with two teenage boys, so looking for what might interest them. Usually I just take in the production shows. However, tonight's magician is supposed to be something special, so I might go to that. I believe Quest is also tonight. Quest is adult oriented and it has been described as an adult scavenger hunt. Though I've never attended, nor do I plan too, Quest is supposed to be quite entertaining. Here is a picture I took from the first production show with my travel camera, which is okay in dim light, but not as good as my DSLR ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovetocruisetwo Posted March 3, 2012 #141 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Perhaps when the ship is "docked" in a port, you could post "we are in port", "we are docked in Antiga" or even simply "alls well, we are in our next port"!!!!:confused::rolleyes::p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuizer2 Posted March 3, 2012 Author #143 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Well, it is getting late and we have less than seven hours to make it back on board. I'm going to see if I can get some night time photographs of the ship. Be back at you later. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maureenie Beanie Posted March 4, 2012 #146 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Cuiser2'. I loved all your posts. That rusted out ship made me laugh. Glad you had a great cruise. Will look forward to your next cruise for the posts. Enjoy life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysingers Posted March 4, 2012 #149 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Cruizer2, Wow, what an unusual depth of field you were able to achieve in this first, front-facing image of the Enchantment (just compare her seemingly short, blunt "snout" to her more accurate long, elegant bow in the second, side-ways view.) Do you have interchangeable lenses for your camera? I have also noticed other creative, interesting perspectives in some of the earlier pictures you have posted. You must either have very good equipment or a really good eye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
