Rare mking8288 Posted October 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Here we go ... just about ready to go - rain, wind & what not aren't going to stall us. Let's rock & roll a bit, on our way down to Florida - it will be fine. Following Seadog67's trackbut this, like my previous report, stay Semi Live like previous ones, since weare unlikely to upgrade to unlimited satellite WiFi on the ship. Goodenough with 310 minutes or about 1.1 GB of 3G+ data to use for at sea ...yielding 3 to 4 hours daily "live airtime" on average, over 5 out of7 days. On land tower's cellular signal while docked. Once we make it to our first stop at Port Canaveral, FL - wewill be back on T-Mobile & Project Fi, and have a 3rd. line on AT&T ...not going to waste time to find "free" WiFi in port. GSC is onDay 4 or Wednesday, currently just 50:50, maybe less - if we do make it ashore... should be on roaming on "BTS" at 4G speed. If we keep goingdue to sea conditions & end up docking early at Nassau to overnight, then -BTS will also take care of our coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamWamWeRCruising Posted October 29, 2017 #15 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I'm with the Mrs. I will take my Meclizine the night before we sail and have my Sea-Bands with me. There is nothing worse than being seasick :( and for me it does not take much, but if I starts the meds the night before I am fine.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted October 29, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Ship almost cleared, should start boarding within next 30 minutes. Still only about 30 to 40 in the Platinum seating area. Whole place doesn't feel crowded and that's a good thing. We are right next to the security podium for our boarding area. Regal ship - Seventh Sea Navigator at berth #1, Pier 88. via Nexus 5X Oreo 8.0 w Tapatalk, VPN secured. 11:16 - accessible guests starting to board, quietly. We should be next. A third podium for security use to check in just added. Almost. That door is open. Haven heading out now.

cruiservictor Posted October 29, 2017 #21 Share Posted October 29, 2017 So much smoother than last Sunday, with the Coast Guard drill. We were back to back and my wife was passenger number 1 to scan on and that happened at 1:15. Hope your weather is better than ours was. Lots of rain in PC and at GSC. Beautiful day at Nassau, however. BTW, as "thread starter" can you change the typo in the date in your thread title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
