Royalcruiser11 Posted July 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hello all! Cruising in 20 days and looking for reviews/feedback on the Voom wifi. If you get the 1 device package does that mean 1 device at a time? Can I use my phone and iPad, but not at same time? Is it worth it? Does it work well, speed? Considering this vs Verizon global plan? Thoughts? Any other advice or feedback is appreciated! Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not consider a cellular plan for data vs. using the ship WiFi. The ship WiFi will be very much faster and much less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering this vs Verizon global plan? Thoughts? Any other advice or feedback is appreciated! Thanks! :) Exactly right. Any number of devices but only one connected at a time. We experienced Voom wifi for the first time last Sep on Anthem. It was pretty good. Could stream YouTube, Netflix etc and FaceTime. Coverage was ship wide. Check your cruise planner as there are sometimes advance purchase discounts. We snagged 30% off for our Oasis B2B next Feb.

Dina7 Posted July 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 22, 2016 If all I want to do is text, should I get the SURF package or SURF +Stream package? Thanks! Dina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
