Cuizer2 Posted January 30, 2013 Author #76 Share Posted January 30, 2013 How did your TV remote work? If it worked well you can thank me. :D I had that exact cabin (9226) for the Dec 9th sailing and had nothing but trouble with the original remote in the cabin so I asked for a new one. They brought me the one I see in the safe in your picture and it worked great. ;) Enjoyed your review! Edit: Was "Arty" your room steward? He did a FANTASTIC job for us. I don't remember the name of the room steward (but he was great) and I hated the remote. I figured I had to push the button three times for every successful reaction on the TV. Of course sometimes it worked on the first try and sometimes it worked on tenth try. Using the interactive TV was another headache. To enter my folio number I had to use the direction keys - it would not allow me to enter the folio number using the number keys. As far as I am concerned, that remote was lucky to survive the cruise in one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted January 30, 2013 Author #77 Share Posted January 30, 2013 What a terrific introduction to the ship we will be meeting in Valparaiso in three weeks. Thank you very much. Have a great cruise. Thank you for sharing your cruise. Loved the pictures. We were just in Cabo in Nov on our way to Panama. You are both welcome.

Cuizer2 Posted January 31, 2013 Author #78 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks for the pictures and the review. I felt like I was back on board the Splendor! You can always do it for real. She will be in New York in a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuizer2 Posted February 2, 2013 Author #80 Share Posted February 2, 2013 LOL, I'm sorry to hear about the remote. ;) I did not see anyway to open the remote. It must have batteries. Does Carnival throw away the remote went the batteries die, or is there an external way of charging the batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6uqqq Posted February 2, 2013 #81 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I did not see anyway to open the remote. It must have batteries. Does Carnival throw away the remote went the batteries die, or is there an external way of charging the batteries? I am guessing every remote on the splendor must be the same. Our remote took the same three attempts to function also. I was able to open ours and get to the batteries but the steward said he would replace them.

I see a golden opportunity to go running around the ship changing everyone's TV station, or at least every third person's TV station. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted February 4, 2013 Author #83 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Well, I guess today the Splendor began is long trip around South America and will be in NY in about seven weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Kat Posted February 4, 2013 #84 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I guess we don't have to worry about the air conditioning not working... what's up with the ski hat going into the dining room? :eek: Looking at that picture, I have to say that CA cruisers are much more casual than NY/NJ cruisers. I can't say that I've ever seen a group waiting for dinner on a cruise out of NY dressed that casually. Not that everyone is dressed up - but definitely more pants and less jeans and shorts. And definitely no ski hats :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyroguy Posted February 4, 2013 #85 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The bathroom (there seems to be someone hiding in the shower ... I love your little quips. Makes for a very entertaining review! I think you would be a hoot to share a dinner table with... Our family just got off the Splendor in July, enjoying seeing her from someone else's perspective.

pyroguy Posted February 4, 2013 #86 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The aft lido deck ... Nice...is that a fisheye lens or a panorama? Are you shooting with a D5000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted February 4, 2013 Author #87 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Nice...is that a fisheye lens or a panorama? Are you shooting with a D5000? That photograph is actually two or more photographs stitched together. My widest lens is 16mm. I am using a Nikon D5100. So the 16mm is actually a 24mm in full frame 35mm terms.
