colliercruiser Posted March 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2017 It's been a year since sailing on Celebrity, but back then they said upgraded internet was just around the corner. Has it been improved? All ships? Some ships? Sailing on Solstice next. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted March 31, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2017 All ships but it still can be spotty. Sometimes it's great and very fast, sometimes it's slower. Sometimes it momentarily loses contact with the satellite. Time of day matters. Ship's position matters. There's no simple answer to the question.

DontTreadOnMe Posted March 31, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I am curious about the pricing. I paid for it on Anthem of the Seas and it was great and reasonably priced. My upcoming cruise on Equinox is showing Internet pricing at about 50% more than I paid on Anthem. Can anyone confirm the pricing? 7 nights for $200 (this may include a SELECT level discount).

guy999 Posted April 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Can you easily watch Netflix? Or upload pictures to cruise critic Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted April 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Pictures I can load through Tapatalk. Netflix, sometimes. Not consistently. This has been on Eclipse Caribbean and on Infinity South America. Frankly wasnt worth the bother to continue to try Netflix. Pandora music has been no problem.

My upcoming cruise on Equinox is showing Internet pricing at about 50% more than I paid on Anthem. Can anyone confirm the pricing? 7 nights for $200 (this may include a SELECT level discount). The pricing on a brochure I have (do not know if it is current) shows on board price for 7 days as being $264 with a pre-cruise price having a 10% discount and being $237. These prices do not include any Captain's Club status discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper106 Posted April 1, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 1, 2017 We were on Eclipse last month and I was pleased with the consistency and speed of the internet. I'm not an expert in the technicalities but to check emails and surf it was fine. I even watched 2 episodes of a show that I missed online with no problem.

emairs Posted April 1, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2017 We were also on Eclipse last month. The internet was very good, far better than on previous cruises. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted April 1, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2017 As mentioned, alot depends on the ship. Also, it is much slower on sea days. We were very disappointed with the service on Reflection. Very slow. However, it was satisfactory on the Silhouette. In fact, it was quite good from our room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cabin is on deck 9 near the elevators and I am hoping that is a good location for internet..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontTreadOnMe Posted April 2, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 2, 2017 In answering my own question: for the Captain's Club discount on Internet access, call the Captain's Club phone number and speak to a CSR to get the discount. At SELECT level I got a 25% discount: Select Loyalty 25% Unlimited Voyage: 7-9 Days: Total Cost *: 168.00 USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
