speech1102 Posted November 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2016 What can I expect for internet speed on the Maasdam? Has their system been recently upgraded? I will be on a transpacific cruise this January and unfortunately will need to have internet access for some business purposes. What type of unlimited packages do they typically offer? I am currently on the Celebrity Reflection and their new system has been excellent. Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere in between depending on time of day and numbers of users. Speed usually best during the dinner times . Morning is slow due to admin fuctions using up the bandwidth. Facetime , video conferencing doesn't work very well or at all. Some programs are blocked from the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speech1102 Posted November 2, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks for the responses. I guess it may be a challenging 39 days from an internet point of view. Does anyone know if Skype will work or is it blocked? Hopefully Holland America will soon start catching up in technology as I believe it would help attract a much larger demographic. Unfortunately, in this day and age, many people cannot disconnect from the rest of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably can expect any programs that use video as part of the communications will probably be blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
