Data speed tend to be not so good via satellite under way. Though then you're better off just finding an internet cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted November 12, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Speed on the ship is limited. Most folks say facetime is blocked. In any event, you have to login to the wifi/internet and pay per minute on most ships, or per mb on the newer ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rileyz Posted November 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Was on the Gem 10/18-10/27 and did FaceTime with my daughter each day. I had no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvtheships Posted November 13, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Was on the Gem 10/18-10/27 and did FaceTime with my daughter each day. I had no issues. This is my plan as well. Good to hear it works Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted November 13, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Do you think it is better in the cabin or in the Internet Cafe On all ships they should have extended WiFi to be available in pretty much all staterooms. If you get a decent WiFi connection (on iOS preferably two out of three arches), you're good. The limitation with the network isn't the speed of WiFi but the speed of satellite link - so as long as your device can connect to the WiFi network, it doesn't matter where you are, the connection to the internet won't be any faster if you sat below a WiFi base station. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
