SherriZ366 Posted April 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2018 How fast is Voom on Enchantment? We have probably been spoiled by Oasis's Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Old geosync satellite. Same speed as Oasis if you are the only one using it. However, it slows down much more than Oasis when the load increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted April 28, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Thanks Bob -- that's what I thought. Was there an area on the ship where the signal was better? We didn’t find much of a difference around the ship. Uniformly slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks -- might switch to OA if we find a good price as I may need the Internet to keep in touch with some things I am working on at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CatLadyFemme Posted April 30, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I found it fairly slow, and spotty in some areas. Definitely not solid enough to do much work, mostly just checking email and social media. Sent from my LGL84VL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyo351 Posted April 30, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Just left EOS last week. Internet seemed spotty in some public areas (Centrum) but was pretty decent in our aft cabin. I was able to VOIP call with with the basic Voom package from our cabin. There were a couple of times the connection was interrupted, but outages were short lived.

SherriZ366 Posted May 1, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Thanks for the responses. Did anyone try to watch a video on their device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPlaya Posted May 2, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I haven't cruised in 4-5 years, so the internet for me on EOS last month was a major upgrade. I was able to FaceTime, watch videos (some slower load times), and reply to emails when needed. I was using a new I-Phone 8+ with the newest operating system. That's all I'd ever want to do when I'm on a cruise ship anyways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afergvip Posted July 16, 2018 #17 Share Posted July 16, 2018 So can I call my kids via face time or with wifi over iphone?? Not needing a long conversation just need to check in with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted July 16, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) So can I call my kids via face time or with wifi over iphone??. Maybe - to have a better chance at it working, opt for the higher tier Stream package pre-cruise. Edited July 16, 2018 by Biker19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reijo Posted July 16, 2018 #19 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I’ve never had an issue with speed on any RCCL ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
