sconzof Posted August 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Hello All, I’m doing the Canada and New England cruise - second cruise ever and first on RC. If I purchase Wifi for one device, and I decide to use it for my mobile phone, can I then disconnect my phone from Wifi and use the Wifi on my laptop instead? Essentially I would only use WiFi on one device at a time. Does RC permit that, or do they track the mac address of the device you”register” and only permit that specific device to connect for the duration of the trip? Thank you so much. Happy cruising! -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted August 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Any number of different devices just one at a time are allowed with the one device package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted August 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 18, 2018 No Frank.... they don't track devices.....Just use (sign into) one device at a time...no concerns at all. Enjoy your cruise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted August 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Just make sure to sign out of a device first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tondakea Posted August 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Make sure you logoff from the device you're using. One of the cruise lines recommended http://www.logoff.com. That works for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works for us.Doesn't hurt, but rarely necessary. Logging into a new device will kick the current device. I can recall only a couple of times that it rejected a login because another device was already logged in. Even then, a second attempt worked.

For us on Oasis class ships the person has usually had to log off before another device can log on.

DeeDee316 Posted August 18, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Can use multiple devices. Would not recommend voom on the Adventure. Just got off yesterday- paid a butt load for 3 devices... could not stream all week... it was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted August 18, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I was on the Adventure. Forgot to sign off my laptop, couldn't sign back in from my phone (laptop was shut down). Had to reboot the laptop to logoff the wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted August 18, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I was on the Adventure. Forgot to sign off my laptop, couldn't sign back in from my phone (laptop was shut down). Had to reboot the laptop to logoff the wifi. That's odd. I was on Adventures in March and never had to log off. We connected 4 different devices at different times during the cruise and never had to log one off before another could connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esilef Posted August 18, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Perfect! We just booked Internet for 1 device and we're looking at booking a second for another device. You all saved us $200 AUD. I owe you all a drink. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had great experiences with VOOM on other ships and will have it on AD this fall. Hopefully I'll have better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll have better luck.We were aboard Adventure for 2 weeks in July, and on the whole, it worked fine. It was out completely one afternoon for a couple of hours. Other than that, we only had occasional issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
