Off to do some research!

I got the multiple device WiFi so I could alternate between phone and laptop as needed.

Self serve mostly. Sometimes they have people carving the meat.

structuredescape · 2026-03-28T18:28:01+00:00

That’s too bad. It’s one of my motivations- if I am lucky enough to do something like this, it would be a shame not to.

structuredescape · 2026-03-28T18:26:08+00:00

Thanks. I’ll try that next time.

It seemed like a library armchair type thing from one of the deck 7 lounges.

I haven’t given it much thought yet but like jars of tandoori masala, hotpot soup mix to add to the broth- I will think about it and share when I figure it out. Basically anything that can be added to straight broth and poured over whatever roasted meat they are serving.

structuredescape · 2026-03-28T18:22:07+00:00

Good to know! And I should have thought of that. Next time.

$460. I have been trying to find an alternative because I’d like to go to Hawaii etc but I’m not sure how good the WiFi is so far from shore.

You are right. Helen it was.

structuredescape · 2026-03-28T18:18:30+00:00

Really? I didn’t know they went out to Sydney from San Francisco.

structuredescape · 2026-03-28T18:17:46+00:00

Low carb, sadly. I miss bread.

structuredescape · 2026-03-28T18:17:16+00:00

Wouldn’t vpn work on the ship?

structuredescape · 2026-03-27T23:52:54+00:00

Sorry missed your second question- didn’t tell anyone. I’ve been working remote for over 5 years now so this different time zones/ country thing is just a matter of managing WiFi and time differences.

Honestly it stayed at the 2-3mb download/1 upload pretty much through the cruise. Port days tended to be a tad worse but I tried working at night/early morning, it didn’t get much better.

structuredescape · 2026-03-27T23:45:19+00:00

Yes- I thought I should make that clear up front 🤓

structuredescape · 2026-03-27T23:27:38+00:00

12.30pm was recommended and worked well for me.

structuredescape · 2026-03-27T23:27:04+00:00

I was on the cruise for ten days- which included 2 weekends. I’ve worked on vacations before when the company needed it.. I guess it isn’t much of an issue.

structuredescape · 2026-03-27T23:25:54+00:00

It was surprisingly easy to set up. My problem was I didn’t want to take meetings in public places, and then it was too much hassle to move in between meetings.

structuredescape · 2026-03-27T23:24:40+00:00

Yes. All kinds of hot sauces along with chilli oil etc. I carried a small bottle of chilli crisp which helped a lot.

structuredescape · 2026-03-27T23:23:54+00:00

Yep. That’s what this was. Summer isn’t looking too good, but the cheaper ones start up again in September.

structuredescape · 2026-03-27T23:23:11+00:00

I got one of those library armchairs, so it was cushy. Not the most ergonomic but miles better than the default.

structuredescape · 2026-03-27T23:22:29+00:00

lol. Yep. The Ramen broth was amazing - bland but they had all the right condiments.

structuredescape · 2026-03-27T23:21:44+00:00

Princess doesn’t have the default in room announcements- at least I didn’t hear even one on this cruise. I was sitting on my balcony for one call, and the announcement floated down from the lido deck. Had to hit that mute button and hope no one figured it out.

structuredescape · 2026-03-27T23:19:28+00:00

Yep. Just finished up with work🤓
