Curacao’s crystal-clear waters are beautiful, but they can also be dangerous … well, if you are my last iPhone.
On a recent visit to the island, I headed straight for the beach after checking in to the Curacao Marriott Beach Resort (pictured above). I heard there was great snorkeling right there at the resort, and I just had to catch the hotel’s aquatic inhabitants on video.
I snapped my phone into what I thought was a trusty waterproof phone case, but sadly ended up being my phone’s demise.
When I emerged from my peaceful swim with my new fishy friends, the case was soaked through with water. By the time I woke up the next morning, my phone was fully inoperable.
In this case, I was able to upgrade to a newer model iPhone for no cost, other than taxes and fees. My insurance reimbursement more than covered what I owed on my current phone, so I essentially got the new phone for free just by paying my monthly bill with the right card. (Be sure to check your policy, though. Some coverage plans may leave you subject to a deductible.)
