Panama Canal cruise/internet

[erni]

Going on the Coral through the Panama Canal.  Was curious as to anyone that has cruised through the Panama Canal your experience with the Internet.  Just got off the Grand to Alaska and the internet was worthless.  You could barely download emails it was so slow.   We need to keep in touch with people back at home.  Of course in an emergency situation they would call the ship.   

Thanks for any information.

In Alaska the internet is slow because the ship can not connect with mid earth orbit satellites at those latitudes. In Panama and other latitudes below Alaska the ship can connect. Since the Coral has Medallion Net service speeds should be fast.
