Cindy Posted May 19, 2017 Author #101 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi CindyWe are enjoying reliving our cruise through your eyes. Wonderful photos. You certainly packed a lot into those 12+ days. Thanks again for all your organization on the Roll Call and excursions. I did fill out the survey about the missing refreshments at the Meet and Greet, even though I had sent an email the day of the M&G. We will see what happens. Sent from my iPad using Forums Thank you, Linda. I'm having a lot of fun reliving the trip! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictoriaSL Posted May 20, 2017 #103 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Hi Cindy. Thanks so much for all of your posts. I am new to HA and we are going on the same/similar itinerary in August. Can you let me know how internet works, wifi, costs? We have At&t and iPhones if that matters. Not sure if we need a SIM card or not You are able to post so many photos so I'm so curious how your data works. Thanks so much! Edited May 20, 2017 by VictoriaSL Incorrect wording.

Fozwald Posted May 20, 2017 #104 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Here's Corfu, Greece! https://theworldthroughmylens.blog/2017/05/17/its-all-greek-to-me/ Sent from my iPad using Forums Hello Cindy. We are going on the Westerdam in August and I am interested in your Taxi Tour at Corfu. Did you do one of their promoted tours or did you make up your own itinerary? Plus, how long was your tour because it looks like a great day. I note their Best of Corfu tour .... was this the one you did? Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted May 20, 2017 Author #105 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi Cindy. Thanks so much for all of your posts. I am new to HA and we are going on the same/similar itinerary in August. Can you let me know how internet works, wifi, costs? We have At&t and iPhones if that matters. Not sure if we need a SIM card or not You are able to post so many photos so I'm so curious how your data works. Thanks so much! We did two things. On the ship, we had 2 unlimited internet packages (1 device at a time) at $149 each. The service was fast enough for email, FB, Cruise Critic, etc., but it really wasn't fast enough for lots of pictures which is why I stopped posting my blog. We didn't have cellular service on the ship -- just internet. We also have AT&T, and we used their new International plan for one phone while we were on shore. You can sign up on the website, and for $10 per day (per device) you can use your phone as you would at home. We ended up using the phone quite a bit for maps and GPS, especially in Venice, so it was nice to be able to do that without searching for a hotspot or worrying about the cost.

The tour was advertised at approximately 4 hours, but ours lasted about 6! If you book, I recommend requesting Spiros 2 as your driver. He is a good friend of the owner Spiros, and we thought he was excellent. He did an outstanding job of assessing what our interests are and tailoring the day to make it perfect!

Cindy Posted May 22, 2017 Author #111 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hi Cindy What type of camera do you use? The pictures are fantastic! Colin Sent from my iPad using Forums Hi Colin, Thank you! I took almost all the pictures with a Fuji XT-1 and a Fuji 18-135mm "travel" lens. I'm pleased with the pictures...this is a fairly new camera for me. I bought it to have something lighter than my Canon for the trip, but I think it's going to get a lot of use!

Can you remember the wifi package options? I can't seem to find any recent info. Do they have the unlimited package for email etc (ie not Skype)? Alex There are two levels of unlimited wifi. I don't remember what they're called, but we took the $149.99 package which worked for mail, Facebook, etc. but not streaming. The other (faster) package is $199.99. A package is for one device...we took 2 packages so as to both be able to be on at the same time. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy Posted May 23, 2017 Author #118 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Perfect...thank you. How long was your cruise? 12 nights. Curious if you got one package if you would be able to use different devices just one at a time? Thanks so much!! Yes, you can do it that way. We actually used 4 different devices by logging off one and onto another when we switched. We bought a second plan because I've been known to hog the internet![emoji5][emoji15] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
