There are none. The area is flat. That's why the Lost Maya Kingdom was built. Wait for Roatan for zip lines.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the info!

Does anyone have experience with zip line excursions in Costa Maya that aren't located at the Lost Kingdom waterpark? We'd like to try something a little more adventurous. :)

Slow. Still going through a satellite connection.

Good to know. Since both options are slow, I'll just go with the cheapest. :)

We were on Brilliance in November and it is very slow. The best spots seemed to be the upper decks. We used it sitting outside the windjammer. It was hit or miss in the cabin.

Hmm...interesting. Thanks for letting me know. I wonder how fast the connection is with Verizon's global package.

I know that the ship's WiFi will not support Facetime, and I would bet that would also be the case for cellular data while at sea. However, either will support email or internet based messaging. The ship's WiFi will cost $20 per day for one device at a time, for unlimited data. You would have to compare that with the cost of the Verizon package, and also know how much data you will use if the Verizon package does not include unlimited data.

Thanks, Bob! Can you comment on the speed of the wifi on the Brilliance? Is it painstakingly slow, or about average?

Hi everyone,

I'm embarking on my first cruise soon, and I need some advice from those of you who've traveled on the Brilliance.

Originally I had planned to buy the ship's WiFi package and stay in touch with my family via Facetime or Facebook messenger, but a friend told me the WiFi can be extremely slow, depending on the ship. (She's never traveled on the Brilliance, so she couldn't comment on their connectivity speed.) Based on your experience, am I better off buying a global package from Verizon, or buying the ship's wireless package?

Thanks in advance!
