Amber2018 Posted February 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2019 We are causing on the Carnival Victory in March with tweens who like to watch YouTube. Is there a wifi plan that will allow iPads to watch videos on YouTube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted February 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2019 None of Carnival's internet plans support streaming services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saharaga Posted February 19, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Nope. They can barely support social media. I tried to upload a 30 second video to Instagram on the Glory in December. It took 5 hours! I gave up on uploading pictures to Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaKevin Posted February 19, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 19, 2019 We had the premium plan on the victory and it was very disappointing compared to the Breeze or Vista.... Never again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be on Glory in June and like to stay connected. Guess that is not going to happen. Last week I was spoiled by MedallionNet so now anything less will be a disappointment. Carnival needs to hurry up and roll this out on all their ships https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/carnival-corporations-medallionnet-to-set-industry-apex-for-wi-fi-bandwidth-capacity-at-sea-powered-by-ses-networks-300603933.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger0613 Posted February 19, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) The Youtube website and Youtube video links on other websites won't work. The Youtube app does work, at least on my Samsung Galaxy S5 and S7. I always get the value plan. I have used the Youtube app on the Triumph in 2/2017, Legend in 5/2017, Triumph in 1/2018, Dream in 1/2018, and Sunshine in 2/2019. I honestly think the Youtube app worked better than general web browsing. Each video buffered for up to around 30 seconds before starting. Once the video started, it almost never buffered again. Every video usually played through to the end with no interruptions. Edited February 19, 2019 by Tiger0613 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joehult Posted February 20, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2019 You’ll be lucky to get google to load 90% of the time. Kind of ruined my trip this past week. I was trying to follow a race at Daytona on Thursday, and I couldn’t access any websites, including twitter. Only positive, carnival didn’t put up any fuss and refunded the cost. So they know it’s trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
