CHEZMARYLOU Posted October 25, 2021 #1001 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hope your seas are not too rough, the smaller ships can rock and roll. Also saw there was an earthquake in LA. We had 2 tornados within 7 miles of our house in Thursday during our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Wave forecast for arrival in Ensanada tomorrow at 8:00am and Departure at 5:00 pm I think the captain will hug the cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These aren’t noise canceling they are more noise masking. You can also control the volume and balance. For me most difficult was to found either noise or tones that I found soothing. Once I found the one I liked I’ve stuck with it. when I put them in I can’t even hear the TV. Thanks so much for the additional info... When you say you can't hear the TV when they are in, is that because the tones or noise from bose is louder than the tv? Or is there some noise canceling effect? I generally can't sleep to music, so I'm not sure I'd do better with sounds that have to be louder than the snoring in order for me to not notice the snoring??

I took an online course from a listing on the Social Network we aren't allowed to mention. I do some adjustments of the settings. Generally the instructor recommends you start with the first setting Exposure and work your way right and adjust each until you get the exposure you like. It's probably more of an art than a technique. Last night I was playing with the night sky mode - Was interesting and need to play more with it. Wow! Your photos are outstanding!! 💓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t have noise cancellation. my favorite is called drift. It’s not music it is drifting sounds and it covers the sound in the room. It also may be that they have 3 sized and the one I use is very good at blocking noise also. I bought mine on Amazon and figured I would return if they didn’t work.

Ipeeinthepools Posted October 25, 2021 #1008 Share Posted October 25, 2021 A quick question about check-in. Now that you need to upload a copy of your vaccination card during check-in with the App, does anyone still physically check your vaccination card at the pier?

Rare hcat Posted October 25, 2021 #1009 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Wow..again. Aside from the classes and settings you have the " artistic eye". My husb does as well but doesn't take too many photos anymore. The ones he takes with his camera are great,,I just snap away but have great luck with the grand kiddo shots! How/ where do you store your photos? Edited October 25, 2021 by hcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSinPNS Posted October 25, 2021 #1010 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Even though we uploaded the vac card, the card, passport and email confirming a negative test were visually checked twice during check in at San Diego for Millennium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, there's nothing in the online check-in that can't be replicated at the pier if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we scan in our passports and vaccine cards does anyone still need to spend the time to check? If no one uses the scanned in copies, why should we spend the effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear it is supposed to speed things up at the pier, but I think it is just X being overly enamored of their phone app. The web page for check in even went so far as to say that downloading the app is REQUIRED, but of course we know that it is not.

They say nothing about using it! If I were to download the app it would be to an iPod unless they want to furnish the device, it can’t be required afaik. i do know the proximity Covid app some of the states have require a phone. It appears because they are using a hook that is available only in phones! Dumb! Any idea whether a couple needs 2 phones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for two, though I suppose it could be handy shipboard if you're separated and both need to know something specific at the same time. We will be using only mine when aboard, if that.

For me, I don’t carry a device around a ship. Perhaps a tablet when going to the theatre early but rarely any other time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you still have to have a copy with you and present it on Check-In. They shoot another picture of it. Not sure why they required it in advance. In the Caribbean they also check you have a copy when leaving the ship. I made a double sided copy and bring a copy with us instead of the original. The copy is so good I can't hardly tell them apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
