streaming is tough. Internet has been MOSTLY good enough to do it, not as fast as Starlink on Carnival Pride or Mardi Gras, but faster than older Carnival ships. My issue has been that YouTubeTV, where I do most of my streaming, has been completely blocked the whole cruise because I’m in another country. That’s never happened before on any cruise for me. 

I used a VPN on the Regal last month in the UK and was able to stream YouTubeTV by setting the location to my home market...

@TxTeach79...would you mind sharing where you purchased those great shirts...ie lobster, pineapples, roses.

Looking to buy some online for my guy for our Hawaii cruise in January.

TIA


Sure! You’ll laugh at the name, but 95% of my wardrobe from the waist up comes from Tropical Bros dot com. I know, I know 😂😂😂

 

the lobster shirt is one of three shirts I own from a far cheaper and more embarrassing place…. A site called Hardaddy dot com. Blame @HelloItsMeB’s crazy family for that one…. (But just wait for what I have in store for NYE on the Celebration)

per John Heald

So as a lot of you were asking who the Cruise Director will be on Mardi Gras from next week onward I can of course tell you this. Next week the wonderful CD Marty will take over for the one cruise and then the following week Jacky Tang (who just left for what was a very short vacation) is coming back and will be CD until mid Jan. After that, well we shall see or rather you will see as here again is the Cruise Director schedule for you. It is a Live document and so please keep refreshing it from time to time and you will see all the changes being made.

Okay, here’s one. I’m trying to think. Are there any other lines that have the elevators in a straight line across like this and not facing each other? There have to be, right? I’m just not thinking of any now. I’ve seen some folks with mobility issues (and just slow folks) struggle to make the elevator when it dings almost all the way across the width of the ship

yeah, actually the casino bar has had a lot of games that weren’t mentioned on the schedule. They only have two TVs in there, but they’ve always had something going. NFL, CFB, NBA. NHL… I’ve seen all of them in there. 
 

Club 6 is the other spot you’ll get some outliers, and they have a ton of TVs, but the one at the bar just shows Princess ads rotating and usually two or three out in the club space are off or say no signal. Plus they actually schedule games in there on the Patter, so the only time I’ve seen “off” games is a random time nothing else is happening.

I’ve learned to use a VPN (I use Nord VPN, but sure any VPN service will do). and set it for a U.S.  and no YouTubeTV blockage.
