Juge Posted September 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2016 If I purchase the Internet package, is this for wifi all over the ship or just in my room? Are there any wifi hotspots anywhere on the ship? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricklepickle Posted September 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2016 All over the ship. At least, it was for me last week on Oasis. Some places had better reception than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted September 7, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 7, 2016 This was the first time all of us had the wifi, and were able to text and update everyone from our smart phones, without extra added fees. Great option. Safe travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle H Posted September 7, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I just got off the Allure a couple of weeks ago, and I was very impressed by the Internet. It was reasonably fast, and worked very well all over the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted October 7, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I didn't think as much of it on Harmony It will get better once she crosses the pond.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topnole Posted October 7, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 7, 2016 It will get better once she crosses the pond.:p We are taking her across the pond. Just curious why it would get better? Different satellites? I'm curious now to see if it changes during the trip. Internet always seems slow everywhere when we are in Europe so we'll see.

Biker19 Posted October 7, 2016 #16 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Just curious why it would get better? Internet always seems slow everywhere when we are in Europe so we'll see. That was mainly a sarcastic remark. All things being equal there should not be much diff to a typical user between the Med and Caribbean. Performance will vary by location on ship, time of day, itinerary of ship and other factors. Way too many variables to pinpoint anything. The only way to really measure this is via objective speed tests, which I would predict will not change much regardless of location of ship.

Biker19 Posted October 7, 2016 #18 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Well that makes sense. Didn't know that. But, to a typical user just surfing regular sites, you won't notice any diff between say a 10Mbps down connection vs. a 20Mbps connection (both possible with the Stream package on Harmony).

Clarea Posted October 7, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 7, 2016 for the 30 oct trip I booked the wifi package on sale for 8 bucks and change per day. Yes, RC has had promos on pre-cruise purchases.

Biker19 Posted October 7, 2016 #21 Share Posted October 7, 2016 for the 30 oct trip I booked the wifi package on sale for 8 bucks and change per day. I assume for the one device Surf package - that's the lower than the usual discounted price of 9.09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZimmCouple Posted October 7, 2016 #24 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I'm usually pretty techie - but I'm going to sound pretty stupid here - with the WiFi on the ship do we still have to have some sort of international plan on our phone? We have Verizon and I don't want to have some ridiculous charges on my bill while WiFi is kicking in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Verizon and I don't want to have some ridiculous charges on my bill while WiFi is kicking in... Depends what you want to do. If you only want internet access for things like email and web surfing, then the WiFi on the ship will be sufficient. If you want to make cell calls, and you don't have WiFi calling, then you will need to use cellular service, which may or ay not require some sort of plan. Speak to your cell carrier.
