Cool tech and useful gears to bring on cruise.
Don't we all love hi-tech? Is it true that all these electronic toys make our life a lot easier? Yes, true, no need to elaborate that now. So why would the cruise vacation be any difference? Here we are bringing you the overview of hi-tech gadgets which sure can make time on luxury ship quite more enjoyable and better organized.
Of course, it is not necessary to take this list as ‘must have’
necessities. We are all different and we love different thing to do. No
need to remind you that bring only things that you really plan to use.
Nobody needs any extra luggage, of course. Check out items mentioned
below and see how they suits your interests. We hope our suggestions
will help you to find the right stuff among huge amount of products. We
triedSamsung SHG-T519 to narrow out our suggestions to devices that are
compact in size which makes them easier to carry in light outfit on
relaxing cruise ship atmosphere.
- Cell phone: Times when cruise ships were isolated island are soon
to be past. GSM reception signals are available on most of vessels by
now and prices of calls are going down. Or maybe to use your mobile
phone just for quick exchange text messages with your family back home
(I also like toT-Mobile Dash send some messages to my friends and
co-workers telling how good time I have and make them jealous). Our
choice: SAMSUNG SGH-T519. Why? This ultra light phone is ideal to carry
on relaxed vacation outfit and it doesn't lack any of modern features.
If you prefer more advanced smart phone with its almost endless
capabilities (as I do) then my recommendation goes to T-Mobile Dash.
This unit brings features such as email usage, multimedia, internet in
size that can fit into your pocket.
- Mobile music player also well known as MP3 player. IPod NanoLast
couple of year’s market of these products definitively exploded.
Endless selection of cheap known and not well known brands is available
in the stores. To make thins short and simple: Our choice is Ipod Nano
(preferably 8GB version). Why? Big storage capacity to bring all your
favorite tunes in sleek, skip-free device plus another advantage over
the competition: built in stopwatch. This is ideal player for jogging
and track lovers (like me, I just love to watch my time on jogging
track on cruise ship, I can't help myself). Of course this choice may
not suits everyone’s taste and needs so there is tons of other models
to choose in many, many sizes, price ranges, features... etc.
- Digital camera, no need to explain why. We all taking Kodak
EasyShare V570picture on our vacations for sure. Our choice: Kodak
EasyShare V570. Why? Compact size, good picture quality plus advanced
features such as dual lens, abundant scene modes, in-camera panorama
stitching and distortion correction.
- How about all three devices from above in one tiny SonyEricsson
K790unit? Yes, that’s also possible. You can have cell phone that also
does a job of mp3 player and digital camera. In that case good choice
would be: Sony Ericsson K790. All these 3 functions in one device are
really usable, but you need to know that they are not as good as
separate (dedicated) units in their field. Obviously main advantage of
this solution is you carry only one device instead of three so this
could be good choice as long as you don’t need to use advanced
functions.
- Laptop computer. If you are really attached to your work, files,
programs, games or whatever you use your computer for, just bring your
laptop on ship. We Dell Latitude D420already covered this issue in this
article, so now we will only pronounce our personal winner: Dell
Latitude D420. Why? Ultra compact (3.1 lbs weight) comes with great
performance plus all connectivity options that you can think of (modem,
ethernet, WI-FI, bluetooth, mobile broadband) makes sure that whatever
internet connection solution ship offers you will be ready.
- Camcorder. Maybe best way to preserve your Sony Handycam
DCR-SR80memories for the future is to record your good time in video
format. Recent development of this devices brings us ability to shot
personal video footage of really amazing quality. With some basic
filming skills you can make priceless family movie that will last for
ages. Market offers many different models to choose from with various
features. This time we choose brand new model Sony Handycam DCR-SR80,
hard drive based, lightweight camcorder with crisp-clear image quality.
- Personal video player. This new hit on mobile multimedia industry
makes you able to bring any kind Archos 504of video material in your
pocket and watch it whenever you like. So if you cannot live without
your regular dose of movies, TV shows or family videos we may suggest
you to get device like: Archos 504. This gorgeous pocket size makes
watching videos on its 4.3 inch wide screen a true joy. Get this and
never be bored when waiting for the plane again.
- Game console. Video games buffs don’t need to quit Sony
PlayStation Portable. their favorite activity on high seas too. Natural
choice in this case is Sony PlayStation Portable, amazing time-killing
toy from Japan. Fits in every pocket and always ready to offer fun.
- Garmin iQue 3600GPS. Trace route of your trip, never get lost in
foreign country and easily locate your point of interests on shore
excursion. Sounds good? This is what GPS (Global Positioning System)
device does. Our choice would be: Garmin iQue 3600.
- Waterproof watch. For experienced cruisers this thing proved to
be very useful. Personally I cannot really relax enough to enjoy time
on the beach if I don’t know time because I don’t even want to think of
situation that I miss the ship. Nobody wants to miss the ship but yet I
see it happening quite often. Solution is simple: get waterproof watch
and wear it. Waterproof WatchOur suggestion: any model that shows time
correctly, on dry or wet conditions will do. Tip: Just don’t forget to
synchronize time with ships time if you change time zone.
