Does anyone know how the wi-fi is on the Voyager of the Seas ?  I need to know for work purposes. Thanks

I had no issues with it on our 11 day Baltic cruise in August but others on cruises after have said it was lousy

maybe it will work, maybe it won't. If your work requires you to VPN into the internal network, your experience might even worse.

Not sure if Voyager is part of the Starlink network yet. If so, then your experience will be valuable to share.

Regardless of which ship and where it is...internet can vary and also be affected by weather. It's all about the location of the satellite and how strong the signal is.

When it works properly and you are in a location with good access point signal, it should be good enough for work.

You're fighting two things - the ship's equipment having a clear view of the satellite and your device having a clear path to the wifi access points.  And one other thing -  how many other people are using it at the same time.  If the weather is clear and it's slow, try relocating to another part of the ship.  Oh, and when you move around, disable and then re-enable wifi - their access points don't hand-off very well.
