One at a time. If your phone is on you cannot use your iPad. At least that was how it worked on the breakaway in September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IloveNCL11379 Posted December 18, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Thank you!! That's fine, but I can switch from device to device as long as it isn't at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathubia Posted December 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Thank you!! That's fine, but I can switch from device to device as long as it isn't at the same time? Yes, I gave my daughter and her friend my password and we were all able to sign in one at a time. When you log in, it gives you a message like "someone is already sign in, do you wish to continue".

moosecrouse Posted December 18, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Were you able to stream music with the unlimited plan? I usually purchase the data plan so because of limits I haven't tried to stream. Was thinking of buying unlimited this time if I would be able to stream.

tombec1 Posted December 19, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 19, 2015 You can get a cheap wireless repeater / router. That device will be "the one" logged in - the client on NCL's network. Then you can use all of your devices simultaneously as long as your devices log into the repeater's network, as clients of the repeater. :D As a visual... here's how the repeater would work as a go between. Your device #1 \ Your device #2 +---> Repeater's WiFI +---> NCL WiFi Your device #3 / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted December 19, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 19, 2015 OP leaving on the BA this Sunday out of NYC ? - with the "faster" satellite connection among ships in the NCL fleet, but still "slow" by current broadband standards, slower than DSL - ok, faster than old 56k dial-up or 2.5G speed - and keep in mind your connection is subject to throttling and most likely, streaming would be horribly slow and/or blocked completely - whether you are paying for/using "unlimited" or paid by the MB/data bundle options, as offered. As I recall, it is specifically prohibited and not allowed. Ship's business class Cisco hardware & routers provide a decent inTRAnet signal within the ship, within the closed loop. But on paid WiFi inTERnet access, ping time/latency & slow connectivity will become apparent - and, being a shared connection among possibly xxxx number of users onboard (plus ship's own navigational/crew/usage behind the scene) - my advice is to NOT expect streaming to be possible. As for bring your own WiFi or MiFi repeater/router/AP & running your own bridge or client mode, forgetaboutit - your single device connection is already throttled to some extent on the shared satellite connection - you are just going to make it worst by dividing into 2, 3 or 4 devices and tried to get on. Feel free to bring your TP-Link or Edimax router/hotspot to run your own - take my words for it, it will be a waste of time & efforts. Just download music/video, etc. whatever ... onto your tablets, iPads or mobile devices before leaving this Sunday, and go offline to enjoy it - pack a good set of noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chong67 Posted December 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I have T-mobile and free roaming data in 140 countries. But its only at 3G speed. My phone notification ring off the hook at 5 am and I knew I am near to shore on my recent trip. So you can hold off 1 day of no data until you get to a foreign port.

Moby0215 Posted December 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 19, 2015 If streaming isn't blocked I wouldn't count on it working well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
