I think it's whenever assigned person has time to get to it. Long as it doesn't get rejected for some reason, I wouldn't worry about it.

Keep checking every once in a while. They sometimes open up more early time slots. Also happens closer to the cruise if people cancel.

Thanks for all the flowrider pics. How long were the lines?

It works great! Search Amazon for travel router. I've used one on many cruises. Works great for hotels as well. I used to travel all the time for work, and it's really convenient not having to reconfigure all your stuff to use a different WiFi access point. Technically you are still throttled on how much bandwidth you use per voom account and it's useless if you leave the room due to the steel structure of ships.

It is easy long as you don't mind falling 😉 If you ain't failing you ain't trying.

Understood which is why I went back and edited to provide an example. I do like some of the interface but anything schedule related is horrible. I am a computer/software engineer by trade and I sometimes prefer the paper copies over the app. That should make non tech people happy to hear.

Roger. I'd agree number of connections is prob their bigger issue with WiFi infrastructure. I was just talking with personal experience with certain rooms having spotty WiFi signals. Easily fixed by running your own router which will keep your devices connected. Internet going in and out due to weather and other satellite infrastructure things is out of your control lol. I'd also not assume they know what they are doing especially after using the royal app... Did they not even consult with anyone that does user friendly design??? When it takes you 8 clicks to find information that's a fail in my book (exaggerating a bit but you know what I mean). My favorite is the number of times I've had to stop booking a show to go back to my events to make sure I didn't book something too close to something else. What day/time did i book that thing? Oh back back back... Look... Then go back to the show again. The only thing it warns you about is if there is a conflict. They could fix this by just showing you all the shows on a single page (like the paper show sheet) and let you select the shows to add.... I am sure everyone would prefer this over what they have now.

Fyi... Half of max theoretical speed throughput on a cruise ship is still way way way more than the voom cap they put on stream. 😉 Comparing wifi speed which is usually way greater than throttled internet speed per account provided by voom.

I use a travel router which will connect to voom wifi so that my devices in room have a stable WiFi connection. The router seems to do a better job of keeping a connection to a weak wifi signal as well. I usually only use it when in the room for stable WiFi connection. I turn it off when I leave so I can connect normally to voom from other locations.

I do usually bring my own access point which does help with your device staying connected but doesn't help if internet via satellite is going in and out, but at least your device won't keep disconnecting which it will depending on the ships WiFi signal strength in your room. Also there is a setting on most phones that will try to switch back and forth between mobile and WiFi if you lose Internet. You probably want to disable that if you plan on not using airplane mode.

Even the newer ships can have down time for voom. It's satellite internet so bad weather and issues with the infrastructure as well as not paying the satellite bill will cause interruptions! I also had a feeling they reduced overall satellite bandwidth to save costs during shutdown. One sailing on anthem stream was excellent and the next it was barely useable (about the same number of passengers).

Long as you have an unopened single test box from eMed and it hasn't expired (look on white label for date), you can use it for pre cruise test. I would make sure you have two boxes for one cruise though since there have been reports of some boxes missing an item which would mess up your test. People have also made mistakes which voided the test.

For casino royale, slots you only get 1 point for every $5 played so $20/5=4 points. If you're worried about points, you can get more points playing video poker in the same amount of time by yourself at $10 per point... You get less points playing video poker cause odds are better than slots if you know how to play.

So is using your spouse's card but we all know how that goes lol

Simple math. Every one buys in for $20. 4 pulls at $5 each. That's only 4 points your losing. Let's say there is 50 people... That's 50x4=200 points. In my opinion whoever is running the slot pull earns it. That's not much points for organizing and keeping people entertained. I've only joined one ever and it was painfully boring so even more kudos to people that run it all the time lol.

Will be on her for b2b may 26 so appreciate the live review!
