Connectivity in princess cruise

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨altphoto@lemmy.today⁩ to ⁨mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world⁩

Step 1)… Download the app. If you got the app now you just need to purchase internet for 7 days for just $100!

Step 2) buy multi device so your family can talk to each other.

Step 3) you’ve spent money now go to the buffet and forget your troubles.

Step 4) hmm your kid’s phones don’t have the app right? Oh may… Take a few minutes to run that in your head.

Step 5) hey you can just hot spot on your phone! Yeah baby! Oh WTF? How come the play store is not connecting? Oh fuck the Wi-Fi disconnects on your phone when you hot spot.

Step 6)oh let me see…what’s your paternal control password again?.. Ehhh, wait, if you don’t have internet on the kid’s phone, how will it send the password?

  I don’t know. It’s just a first impression thing.

Not getting the internet package (and the associated headaches) was part of the vacation for me.

  See exactly! I should have had a big husband & wife argument and no internet access. Now I can be on eBay and amazon and wait for it…I can monitor teams and answer work related questions! Yeah! But then I can also shit talk and vent into Lemmy.

Cruises suck. Giant shopping malls and water parks at sea with no escape and oppressive views.

  You are leaving out all of the entertainment, the meals, and the visitation of ports. Either you have never been on a cruise and are regurgitating bullshit others have told you and you believed, or you went on a “cruise” with 2 dudes who promised you a good time and might have delivered ;-).

    Nope, never been and have no intention of going on a cruise. I can’t think of a worse holiday. But I appreciate that everyone has different taste but I still can’t think of anything worse.

    The buffet yesterday was great! But I must complaint aptly so…you can get water there, lemon juice, tea, apple juice but if you want soda you have to order it. Little do they know I love apple juice and hate soda.

Don’t princess cruise.

I don’t know about this specific one but - you and your kids deserve better.

Virgin Voyages, while they don’t allow kids, is similarly a complete sham about their free vs premium internet tiers. There may have well not be a free tier if you want anything even close to usable Internet.

  Its a combination of not preparing, plus I not caring to connect the kids who shouldn’t be on the net on vacation. Plus Google having a totally retarded ass fucking way of doing parental control. If only the phone could be Linux someone with half a brain could come up with a much better parental control system that doesn’t need to tell Google anything. I really really hate Google. I recall how Microsoft used to be the ruling computer company. Then I remember one day like today when I just about had it with their stupid software. Today Microsoft is known best for everyone having to be forced to use it at work.
  
  Anyway, fuck the web, the cruise for not having a simple password WiFi thar is not $100 for 7 days for 4 devices only. Fuck Google for the double fisting, making a fucked up day that couldn’t be more terrible even worse. And fuck Microsoft as a bonus. Friends should punch anyone’s face who uses or promotes Microsoft. And fuck Microsoft too. LOL, I’m feeling better. Fuck Microsoft once again! Oh yeah that hits the spot. Yeah Microsoft! You stink!

    My brother in Christ, you’re eating at a buffet on a cruise ship with your family, throwing a temper tantrum over the Wi-Fi, and this is a “fucked up day” that can’t get any worse? I don’t even know how to respond to that. I really hope you’re able to gain some perspective, man. People would kill to have that be the best day of their life.
