what's up

 

but guess what with all ship based internet. Speed lag and buffering will and could always be an issue as the internet on ship is satellite based 

Yes this is why I made this post - wanting to know the experiences other cruisers have had with speed and lag using the different packages! 🙂

Hello Cruisers!

I am leaving next week on the Getaway for 9 days.  While I am traveling, I would like to be able to make frequent video calls back home using WhatsApp or skype.  Would the social media package suffice for this? Or should I splurge for the premium wifi?  I'd like as little lag or buffering as possible.  Does anybody have any experience making video calls onboard and what did you use?

Thank you all in advance!

Hello everybody!

  I searched for this and didnt see anything so forgive me if this has been asked before! What does everybody think of fitness center on the Jade? I've been really working hard and seeing progress using an at home fitness program that I'd like to continue daily while onboard (especially with all the yummy food and drinks available!) The program uses sliders and free weights and floor exercises. I've looked at the pictures but it is hard to determine - is there enough space for this without bothering others or being in their way? Im already self conscious enough, I don't want to be drawing any attention to myself.  Any other cruisers have advice on continuing programs that you've started at home? 

Thank you all  ☺☺

Is this a gambling app? If cruises are the prizes, this sounds like an app I need!

Thanks for the Alert on this .

My TA called and had the OBC & Extra Pts added to my "existing booking" . No need to cancel/rebook.

Rate remained the same but Service Charge for my Free Dining increased a couple of dollars to the new charge.

Those who book direct and are being denied , call back get someone else . (or use a Good TA next 

Will this work for those past final payment?

We were on the Jade this past March for a Southern Caribbean cruise and had a PrivaSea balcony.  Feel free to watch my vacation video if you want. There are quiet a few scenes with us on our balcony and it might help give you an idea of what to expect. We actually didn't mind the balcony….very private!  We were in Balcony 8522 / Category BD.

 

 

Great video! Looks like you had an amazing time! The balcony looks good, I think we'll enjoy the extra privacy! Thank you for the info! 

Thank you all for the information! I watched the video of the pearl and looking at their deck plans that is almost exactly the room we have on jade (one or two down).  I think it looks great! Still very open but more privacy! 

Hello everybody!

  I searched for this and didnt see anything so forgive me if this has been asked before! We are sailing on the jade next month and received a category B2 assignment which is a family balcony.  When I look photos of the ship, those on deck 8 look like they are enclosed or almost like a "cove" balcony? They didnt mention this when I booked and I haven't been able to find any info.

The sail away category description on the site (which we did NOT book) says balcony may be partially obstructed, but category b2 does not mention this.  We were just curious what to expect! Thanks everybody! 

December 9th on the escape. 60 pp inside to balcony.

Did you get the upgrade?
