Liberty of the Seas, 26 Sept 2024: Semi-Live or Not ... Times-a-changing, perhaps. Return to RCL after 10+ years

[mking8288]

That's the net cost to get Voom with 10% discount for 7 nights last night (after midnight) ... wait until after 12 tonight, will be for 6 nights only.  The other option is by the day only (for 24 hours) 

 

 

6:15 PM - Ship is on the move, next stop is Sydney, NS

Awesome Live MKing! I am late to this party but really like your reports from NCL in the past, so glad to see your report from Royal! Also like the wifi speed reports and locations. Enjoy the rest of the cruise and I will be following from here on out! Thanks for the effort I know these take.

Thanks for the (live) review.  Will be on the similar itinerary in 2 weeks.  Same ports, except our sea days will be 2,5,9.

 

Esp thanks for the Portland photos.  Wife and I are researching places for lunch - we each want lobster (not a lobster roll tho, haha).

 

Continue to have fun 🙂

Almost 80 minutes after we left Portland, everyone's iPhone and smartphone has lost their 4G LTE and 5G land cellular signal, lucky me still have 5G signal and hotspot tethering still going ... sitting in Windjammer, not crowded at prime dinner time. 

 

When signal is gone, will go to & switch GigSky data sim.

 

GPS on CruiseMapper & Windy forecast looks good on crossing the Bay to Nova Scotia.

Station Zebra iOS has a trial plan for Canada, to be tested on Sunday … someone has to be do it and brave it on Cellular at Sea against Voom using X-Starlink

It's 20:00 or 8 PM ship time, looks like someone hasn't switch on Cellular At Sea - still has home service on Google Fi 🤫🫢😉

 

 

[mking8288]

8:20 PM  finally on GigSky maritime data as Google Fi cellular coverage is now offline.

 

 

Everything just as good as earlier in the cruise.

 

 

It's time for them to eat too. 

 

These coffee are 👍 good.

Tech geeks only - Samsung DeX connected, basically - a matter of adapting Galaxy S24's output HDMI signal to the matching optimal input Samsung TV resolution.

 

 

It's time to get out the Lenovo Chromebook to further "investigate" this 😆 😁 😊 since it should be easier to tweak the sub-settings to stream cast 😺 

 

Caution/Advisory - disclaimer, do not try this unless you are ... serious things can happened 😅 

 

That's S24's desktop in Windows-like mode.

 

The possibilities, imagine 🤔
