OP, great work, bypassing internet restrictions is always fun.
Though, I hope your family isn't cruising much in the future-- sharing stuff like this, with so many specifics about which cruise line and exact retry methodologies used, is a surefire way to get it shut down. (Or worse, a nasty internet bill from the cruise line.)
- _gtuv 1y agoThanks! My thought process was that realistically, a negligible amount of people will even attempt this. Also, there will always be a way to bypass internet restrictions. I will say, it would be kind of cool if this post gets big enough that someone from the cruise line sees it and actually feels that they need to put in the time to patch it.

- axus 1y agoCruise ship passenger saves $170, thousands of hours and even more money are spent ensuring it can't ever happen again. Did the article always say REDACTEDCRUISELINE ?
- amendegree 1y agoNo, it named the cruiseline
- matt_heimer 1y agoNext time you might want to wait until your are off of the cruise ship before posting about it on a blog with your name. They'd probably be within their stated passage contract ([link-redacted]) to disembark you at the next port.
