Eclipse Internet

[maynas]

How does it work for internet on Eclipse ? Do you get anything free or do you have to pay and if so how much? And is it any good or very slow like other wifis I've used on cruises before ?

from the Celebrity website:

Most ships in our fleet offer Xcelerate, our newly enhanced high-speed Internet service. Xcelerate allows you to browse web sites faster, stay in touch with video calling, and stream your favorite TV shows and movies. Use your own smartphone, tablet, or laptop to connect, or use one of our workstations in the Celebrity iLoungeSM which is open 24 hours a day. Choose from a variety of Internet packages to suit your needs. Xcelerate will be available soon on all our ships, except Celebrity Xpedition® which offers Wi-Fi in public areas*.

You dont mention costs?

Cruise ships I've been on before gave a basic package for free and you paid for excess use. If its slow its often better to go in local coffee bar!

Its such a basic these days hotels generally don't charge, its like adding a charge to have our lights on!

We cruise next month, around £190 for 2 weeks (2 users as there was an offer on).

 

Our next cruise free wifi was thrown in as a perk for booking Aqua.

We were on the Eclipse in June and had an Internet package as a perk, it was fast enough for FaceTime.
