Biker19 Posted November 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Slow but usable. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davy jones Posted November 27, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Slow but usable.No. Thanks. I would only use it for surfing and wifi calling. No video, so it will probably work just fine for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 27, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Thanks. I would only use it for surfing and wifi calling. No video, so it will probably work just fine for us. Our WiFi calling was very bad on Jewel, which has the same system as Grandeur. People on the other end kept telling me all they heard was static. Hopefully your experience will be better.

Merion_Mom Posted December 3, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 3, 2017 How fast is the Voom on the Grandeur? Is it as good as the Voom on the Anthem? I burst out laughing when I read to the end of your question. No, the internet speed and reliability is not as good on the Grandeur as on the Anthem. On the Anthem, it usually feels like one is at home, on a regular connection. On the Grandeur, it often feels close to the days of dial up.

PigsCanFly Posted December 3, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2017 We used it on the Grandeur, Oasis and Anthem. All 3 worked for my early 20's Son. I used it once or twice on each cruise and remember no issues on any of those 3 ships. To put my opinion in perspective, I would have a dial for my cellphone if available.

Biker19 Posted December 3, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 3, 2017 ^ but the download speed is a lot better than dial up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my uninformed belief, but RCI pitches both as "fast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted December 4, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 4, 2017 That was my uninformed belief, but RCI pitches both as "fast" The actual speed on both ships may be in the same ballpark (about 4 Mbps down for Stream) but the latency is quite different (the thing that affects user performance the most).
