But don't you have to go to the plus versions🤔

The S21 and the S21+ has basically the same front camera and 3 rear cameras.  The S21 ultra adds the Telephoto lens (10x optical zoom) and laser assisted focus.  Having the ultra I can say When I use the 10x optical zoom I love the quality of it but I don’t use it as often as I thought I would.  Not a deal breaker.  The laser asst. is supposed to help focus in low light.  The camera takes great low light pics but I don’t know how the other 2 models do in low light.  I would get an S21 again.  I bought it solely for the camera quality and believe I would of liked the camera on it no matter which version I got.

Busy weekend here. We had plans to go out to dinner with our two local daughters/family last night to celebrate my birthday later this month.  They surprised me by having our oldest daughter , SIL and 3 grandsons from PA at the restaurant when we arrived.  We all had dinner at the Matunuck Oyster Bar.  The weather was awful when we left & driving was treacherous so instead of everyone coming back to our house to continue the celebration, we decided to get together this morning.

I don’t like the numbers on this cake!

These are the people who mean the world to me. Is there any better way to celebrate?

Looks like a great time. Love the pics.  Family gatherings and grandchildren are such a blessing.  Happy birthday 🎂

Thanks, I thought the plus was the ultra. 

 

I just knew it was the most expensive one

Mark, I finally got to read your Allure thread.  Can't wait to get onboard!

Thank you for posting the schedule of all of the shows.😊

Do I have to reserve the shows on the Royal app, or can it be done another way?  This will all be new for me!  TIA

It looks like you've had an enjoyable cruise.  Great thread!!!🛳️

Please wish Pauline the happiest of Birthdays!!!!!!🌹

Arzeena, what day is your cruise?  Is it on the Silhouette?

I'm not sure about the S21 series but the S22 and S22+ have the same camera. The S22 Ultra has some extra features but the phone is too big for me. I prefer smaller. I also prefer the smaller price tag.

I'm pretty happy with the low light pictures that my S8 takes, as long as I don't use any zoom in, so I'm pretty sure that any of the S21-22 line cameras will suit me fine. I have actually read that when you use low light mode it tends to lighten up the picture too much. I'm looking forward to olaying around with it.

The S8 came out in 2017. It has been a great phone for me. I'm waiting for my S22. It is delayed because of the color I chose. What motivated you to move up? 

I just checked out old phone apparently I had the j7 that came out in 2015.    The phone has worked great for me.   I kept getting emails to upgrade and this weeks price was only $249.   Almost half of what Eric pd in December.

Eric really likes the camera and took some great pictures on our Jan cruise..  

I figure since I am using my phone as a camera more and more I would take advantage of the new low price and get it for our b2b leaving next Sunday.

 

I was intrigued by the samsung Z (?) Phone that folds.   That was selling for $700 but is heavy and I was leary of that concept

Good Morning Deb, looks like a perfect celebration.   Such a nice surprise and Beautiful family..   I love look on Grandaughters face with seafood tower.   Adorable☺

Good morning and welcome to todays SOAP OPERA:

 

As the snow melts

 

So the DH always tells me not to believe everything you read on-line, but this story really caught my attention.

 

Apparently according to AOL this spring in a cities along the eastern United States are going to be rained upon by spiders, not just any spiders, some can be as big as your hand.

 

Now me being Arachnophobic this article really caught my attention.

I hope it is FAKE NEWS.

 

You see if there is a spider in the house I will get the vacuum cleaner out put on extension and suck that baby up and then put the vacuum cleaner in a safe place till he comes home to empty it.

 

It is easier if the spider is on the floor, I just put a SOLO cup over it with a couple books on it till he comes home

 

I hate spiders.

 

Take care and have a safe day.

I am ok with spiders now but when I was younger and spending the summer on my grandparents farm I found a spider (daddy longlegs) in the shower the first morning.  The rest of the summer I would look the shower over very closely, jump in get wet, get out and soap up, get in and rinse off fast.  Big fun on the farm.  LOL

Yes you can.  Everyone on your reservation will show up, and you just select who is going.  It also gives you an option to add others, but you may have to have your reservations linked, or their booking number to do that. 
 

edit to add that I see Debbie already said to link reservations. 

I really enjoyed your live review.   I hope the rest of your travels go as smooth as the cruise🤩

Expect to see lots of family pictures on these upcoming B2B cruises with that new phone.

Two loooong  years of waiting for cruises to be able to return to Australia and still waiting….Hopefully we will finally see ships docked here before the end of the year.

Curious if you will be watching the the below deck franchise series “Below Deck Down Under” which should debut next week on Peacock App? I’m interested in seeing Australia in all her glory.

Thank you.   We are excited to see Chris and Donna's reaction as soon as they walk onboard.

Out IT dept was in contact with Royals IT dept.  IT installed a different VPN on laptop that should hopefully work.

If not, our back up is to relax and enjoy our cruise.😃
