I have an annoying "feature" on my Pixel Watch 3. I have a couple of spam numbers blocked on my phone, (Pixel 8A) and the feature works great on that device. Unfortunately every call from any blocked number goes right through on the watch. It's amusing as every time it happens, my watch rings, but there is no information on my phone that a call is coming in. Is there any way for my watch to recognize that some numbers are blocked?

We are taking a transatlantic, this fall, on the Nieuw Statendam (The last one going East to West in the foreseeable future.) I'm wanting to get the Thermal Spa package, which will cost 360 dollars if I book it before the cruise. The issue I have, is we are going to have 400 to 500 dollars in onboard credit by the time we set sail. I would rather use that credit for something as frivolous as a thermal Spa package, but I know I can't use onboard credit before we are aboard. However it's likely going to be well over 400 dollars if I wait to book onboard. Is there any way around this? Where I can book early with a credit card, then get onboard and have them move the billing to onboard credit?

How is the new Entry/Exit System being implemented if you are either arriving or leaving by ship? I have seen how the system works at airports. You arrive, input your passport, picture and fingerprints into a machine, then go through regular arrival. Then when you leave it's reversed.

How does this work on a cruise ship? In December we are flying into the Netherlands for a repositioning cruise. The ship goes to Belgium, a port in the UK, two ports in France, then a final port in the UK.

So how do we do this? How do we "exit" from Europe? How did anyone who arrived by ship do the "Entry" portion of the procedure? How does bouncing back and forth to the UK affect us?
