While it pales next Mideast settlement issues, as I am sitting poolside on the Vista in an upright chair since the lounge ones are claimed with towels or personal belongings - is there any way to fix this problem? It is a universal challenge on cruise ships regardless of demographics and ubiquitous CruiseCritic subject of debate. Bad behavior is bad behavior. You can put lipstick on a chair hog but it is still a hog,

In port now, but thanks, I will keep that in mind. Maybe some spouses don’t mind being incommunicado. But she is the Apple of my eye.

Oh, I just checked. Mutual calls work now.

There might be a scenario on the cruise when we would want to contact each othet.

Everything is working fine now, except that my iPhone and my wife’s calls to each other go straight to voice mail.

I resolved the issue. I used the Google Machine and found a Verizon Customer Service non 800 number for international travelers, 908-559-4899 They had my billing information

For privacy purposes Verizon won’t give bill info in an email, but it just occurred to me to try their live chat feature.

#225 gave the same message. We are sailing to sea. I’ll go to the tech center tomorrow. If they can’t help, I will go to Lourdes.

I tried #255 but got a recording saying the number is not assigned. Also, my wife and I can’t call each others iPhone without the call going directly to voice smail. And Verizon just sent a text that they hope we are enjoying Travel Pass!?

Thanks. Is using Wifi calling relatively secure?

Thank You. The irony is that I want to call Verizon to confirm a bill payment. They don’t make it easy as there are issues with my mobile account.

Docked in Antigua.

..on Vista with my iPhone. Do I need to adjust Settings?

I’m reminded of the Three Stooges three watches gag. Moe asks what time is it. Larry rolls up his sleeve, reveals three watches and says to Moe: ‘The first runs 10 minutes fast every two hours. The second one runs 20 minutes slow every four hours. The one in the middle is broken and stopped at two o’clock.’ How does Larry know it’s 3:15 when Moe asks the time? He takes a working pocket watch out of his hat!

Done! Thank You! All is right with the world. And this is a beautiful ship!

I’m onboard and on this first day we are at sea and told to be one hour ahead. But my Apple devices including the watch has Miami time. How do I become one with the universe?

In my case the luggage is being shipped UPS Ground round trip.

I googled this issue and found - Yes, AirTags are Federal Aviation Administration approved. The FAA ruled that having an AirTag in your luggage is permitted and, in fact, not a safety hazard since the small devices only contain 0.1 grams of lithium, which falls below the FAA's limit.

So being an air tag virgin / newbie, I am amazed by this new technology. The greatest invention since swiss cheese, I tracked my luggage and it arrived today in Miami. I guess the days of existential anxiety at baggage claims are over.

Thanks, I did buy air tags and will be using them for the first time, The luggage won't be traveling too far - frim Virginia to Florida, I receive their tags - the return will be via UPS Ground.

Thanks. I’ll keep it in mind if we ever sail with HAL again. O is our line of preference. It was so annoying being charged for every bottle of water in the cabin!

What is HIA?

Oops. I forgot that O provides free internet. I was thinking in error about our HAL cruise, where we were nickeled and dimed for many amenities, including internet.

I just checked my Verizon Plan, and it turns out that because we purchased new iPhones 8 months ago, we have each accumulated 8 free days of their Travel Pass. Since we will be on a 10 day cruise, it will be basically free. Could someone clarify, that on sea days, the phones can’t be used unless we purchase the O internet package?

Thank You!
