jgoodm Posted March 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Hi All, Forgive me if this is a repeat connection but my search didn't find a direct answer. Can anyone advise how well Voom works on Ovation in the Alaska inside straight cruises? I need be connected for work and have become quite spoiled by my Voom connection in the Caribbean. Thanks, J.

josh.vincent.180 Posted March 6, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Since it’s using the new satellite tech it should work as good. I am on Ovation in September and thinking about getting GoogleFi for the month also because being that close to shore I think it will provide Cellular Data and service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovation has never been to Alaska, which might explain why you were not able to find any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O3B performance deteriorates in upper latitudes so while it may work well in Seattle, VOOM may get iffier by the time you get to Juneau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg2256 Posted March 8, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 8, 2019 It worked great on our Australia/NZ cruise in Jan. There was one day when were travelling the southern sounds where it was a bit spotty but overall it was great. I was really surprised how good it worked anywhere on the ship. I assume that the challenges in the Northern Latitudes will be similar to those we had in the far southern latitudes so hopefully it will work well during your cruise.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 8, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2019 On Radiance sailing in the tighter inside passage signal was hard to get at times. Only time will tell if Ovation has them same issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell if Ovation has them same issue. Likely based on its larger size (we were on Ovation in Sydney in December), the Inner Passage route will be slightly tweaked compared to Radiance. Our Radiance cruise a few years ago was a nice round trip to the Inner Passage and featured a run up a fjord to Sawyer Glacier. Ovation would not fit that same path...Radiance was just able to make it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
