We are on the Vision of the Seas and have Voom. We are finding it awful and slow


Recommended Posts

Is a speed test of .47 Mb-s normal for Voom??? Half the time is doesn't work. We have spoken to the internet person.All she wants us to do is upgrade. Nothing is the ships fault. Her sign says the fastest ship internet on the Seas. What is your experience??

Thanks!!!

For Surf, yes, that is normal. You may want to adjust your expectations.

 

Surf and Stream, if you're lucky will get you up to 5 Mbs. I have been able to stream hulu and netflix using this, but it is frustratingly slow and takes a bit to load up. I averaged 3 Mbs on the Grandeur 2 weeks ago.

Is VOOM the only choice for emailing etc back home? We have Verizon but I do not think the International package on Verizon will work at Sea. Am I correct?

For anything requiring data, you are better off financially and performance wise getting VOOM.

Verizon no longer offers data service at sea.
