Hi, I watched your embarkation video and this one. Great to see your videos so will follow along. Quick questions, I will be going on first ever cruise on Arvia soon. Any advice on dealing with WIFI and phones. I keep hearing stories of high phone bills when getting home....I know you can turn your phone to Fight mode but with 2 teenagers I really want to protect against high bills. Any tips would be great. Also how bad is Bay of Biscay? Did the ship rock a lot in those conditions?
Hi there 👋 Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I just made sure that my mobile data was off as soon as I boarded. Then I only used Internet based calls (messenger or WhatsApp). I always buy the Internet package but it can be costly per device, so we bought 1 package and used the hot spot for other devices (one at a time). All ports will have free Internet so most people just go onshore to connect and catch up. And yes, the Bay of Biscay is well known for bad seas, but it honestly wasn't THAT bad, even in December when I went! I quite enjoyed the slight rocking motion to help me sleep! ☺️ I really hope you have a fantastic cruise! We've got more cruise videos to follow! 🛳😊 Happy travels! Kris - TPT
@@ThePersistentTraveller Thanks so much for getting back to me. Ok that makes sense...Will ensure all phone data is off and will probably get the WiFi package but like you said it's so expensive for such a short amount of time. Ok hopefully bay of biscay will behave when we go.... Have subscribed so looking forward to future vids.... Thank you
How lucky that you got the time and the table you wanted thats so cool.
That did look very windy! xx
