llam Posted June 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi-We will be traveling on the Explorer this July and two questions: What restaurants are open for lunch embarkation day? I understand that we will have complimentary Wi-Fi and that one tablet/computer can log on per suite based on the category we booked. My question is, can my DH log on, on his IPAD and I log on, on the ships computer in the business center (ships guest computer) at the same time?

Travelcat2 Posted June 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2018 La Veranda and the Pool Grill will be open for lunch on the day of embarkation. In terms of Wi-Fi, only one of you can be logged on - whether it be on your own device or a computer in the Business Center or Library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always bring a personal hot spot, log into Regents system with that and then connect to that with however many devices you want. Unfortunately unless things have changed while the Explorer might be a newer ship its WiFi system is decidedly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatmans Lady Posted June 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 14, 2018 In terms of Wi-Fi, only one of you can be logged on - whether it be on your own device or a computer in the Business Center or Library. Can I just clarify this? Am I reading this right, that as long as only one device is logged on at a time, you can access wifi with multiple devices? For example, I can log on with my phone in the morning and as long as I log out, I can then log on with my laptop in the evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct .... you can use as many devices as you want but can only be logged in to one at a time. Once you become a Gold Seven Seas Society member, you will get two logins.

Sent from my iPad using Forums You're right and you actually get four logins when you are Gold - not two. With how slow the internet can be, I wonder if the four logins is really such a good idea. I'm online a lot and don't need to be on more than one device at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Norton Posted June 14, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Or book in Concierge. Then you get four logins. Sent from my iPad using Forums Interesting. Last I looked my room only had a single login available. Now it too has four. It should be interesting to see how much bandwidth I can get while two junior woodchucks try to incessantly stream YouTube videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it works, let us know and we may all faint:halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Norton Posted June 14, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Thanks, having been on the "inaugural" I'm well aware of the limits of the ships connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW and I watched(or tried to) some short videos and I don’t think we made it through any without some buffering pauses. Also if you use a VPN it’s probably best to leave it turned off until after you get logged in to the ship’s WiFi.

xrvlcruiser Posted June 15, 2018 #13 Share Posted June 15, 2018 One thing which helps re: band width is to log OUT when you are finished on line. That frees it up for other users. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare macbest Posted June 17, 2018 #14 Share Posted June 17, 2018 We just got off Explorer and had 4 logins (Gold Member). I actually thought the Wi-Fi was decent. All past experiences were horrible on any ship. The Explorer must have newer and more efficient equipment as all four of our devices were able to use the internet with little exception. We didn’t do any major streaming, but sending texts and emails and websites were just fine. They also offer a streaming service which allows for video streaming for an additional $9.99 a day. Hard pressed to think that would be any good but they claim it works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVEcruiser Posted June 19, 2018 #15 Share Posted June 19, 2018 You can stream on other lines as said by posters. We were on Explorer in the Med in May. Gold rewards included two logins. For $10 per day you get faster speed which was almost as good as at home. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
