They had something on Medallion Mondays about their Wi-Fi. I expect it will be non-existent in Glacier Bay. They kept talking about known dead zones and showing pictures of Glacier Bay. LOL!!!! They will have slower Wi-Fi in Alaska as they are closer to the 'poles'. I don't expect it to be very fast, based on what they said. I used it in Alaska four years ago and it was okay for email and basic browsing. You may wish to watch this VIDEO. They do mention they will announce when the dead zones are expected to occur. I hope it is faster now than it was four years ago- but I'm not a big streamer, so I'm okay with basic internet (ie I can do the things I have to for work). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m showing about 5mbps I’ll check later out at sea to know if it gets better. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, It may change when they go from MEO To GEO satellites. I think that happens somewhere parallel to Vancouver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChangeOrder Posted July 25, 2021 #355 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Welcome Aboard! Does anyone know what these cabinets/drawers are for by the Intl Cafe? My guess was a coffee cup storage from pre-Covid times. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aprilsp88 Posted July 25, 2021 #360 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Is there any live streaming for sail away? Want to feel the excitement! I searched youtube and facebook but can't find any. Bridge and port cam is not clear and no sound. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We passed through stop one to check our passports and vax cards, which were scrutinized very closely. Did they verify your arrival appointment time at any point?

We are not currently onboard (we will be on the Majestic for New Year's). But, I can tell you that the staff is a bit nervous as to how DMW will actually work in real time. Time will tell...

We're almost definitely going to be reserving a cabin on the 12/11 Mexico itinerary, probably in a few days, and I'm a huge karaoke addict. Guess I'll have to wait for the actual Patters to get posted if it doesn't show up in the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChangeOrder Posted July 25, 2021 #370 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Sail away is a bit delayed, but Capt Dino just let us know they were stowing the final gangway. Luggage arrived at my room around 3pm. Edited July 25, 2021 by ChangeOrder 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the princess Lauren and if anything I feel like that would have been the most appropriate thing to play. What to do I would just be as thrilled as you are right now sailing away as we speak. Please have a fantastic Cruise!!! I can't wait to join her next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
