Casna Posted June 19, 2017 #301 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Do we have a updated list of ships that have recently been added to the O3B list? I confirmed that the Liberty had it installed last week. I'm wondering about the Vision. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted June 19, 2017 #304 Share Posted June 19, 2017 How did you confirm it? Probably by reading the Why is Liberty still in Galveston thread. [emoji12] Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted June 19, 2017 #305 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Probably by reading the Why is Liberty still in Galveston thread in which two posters said that while the install may be under way, completion is not expected before July 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casna Posted June 19, 2017 #307 Share Posted June 19, 2017 How did you confirm it? Friends on the ship had a late departure because of the updated equipment being installed. We sent a email to the concierge and received this confirmation email: "Greetings from theLiberty of the Seas. As you mentioned, we have done a big improvementwith our internet satellites few days ago. We just have done the same upgradethat we did it in the past with the Oasis class, Quantum Class and theEnchantment of the seas. We have installed (3) new antennas that are maximizingthe bandwidth and we are proud to offer now the fastest internet at sea - Voom,using the O3B satellites network.

Yes, I have read the completion date is July 1st, and I am aware that VOOM is not necessarily O3B and no the concierge is not a IT expert. Excited that Royal Caribbean is listening to those of us who want/need high speed internet when they cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted June 19, 2017 #316 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Absolutely, I just wish they wouldn't classify it all as VOOM/O3B Very misleading But you have to admit it's much easier to install VOOM on all the ships when you just redefine it to be whatever is already installed.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to the it manager (Rhohan) and he said he will have something for me to test on the 25th. I'm back again on Jul 9th and it should be live by then.

Biker19 Posted July 9, 2017 #325 Share Posted July 9, 2017 From YorkVillain on board now - as we thought the previous measurement is a bit off and Grandeur does NOT have O3B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
