jelayne Posted October 19, 2022 #26 Share Posted October 19, 2022 We are currently on the Beyond TA in a Suite and have the Premium internet. It was okay when we boarded and has gotten worst everyday. Past 3 days (Lisbon, sea day, Ponta Delgada) it has been difficult to get connected at all. If you get connected and want to switch devices there is a good chance you will lose your connection. Talked to the folks in Future Cruises and they are having difficulty with the internet also so it isn’ t just the guest wifi. The weather has turned and we are in some choppy water so ship is rolling quite a bit. It will be a long 5 days crossing if this keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on in early Dec. Maybe I'll be surprised and it's added during this short dry dock. Prepared for the worst but hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ben100014 Posted October 20, 2022 #29 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Kinda a bummer it was supposed to be live on Apex 11/12 and now it’s pushed to 12/3 after my cruise ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare someguyfl Posted October 20, 2022 #30 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Amazing schedule for the Edge considering my itinerary. It completes on 12/2/2022 ... I'm on a cruise from 11/21/2022 -> 12/2/2022. I wonder what the odds are of the cutover happening during my cruise ... I hope either way that it doesn't translate to a large outage mid-cruise.

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted November 22, 2022 Author #34 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I've confirmed with X the Eclipse deployed Starlink on schedule. Someone on CC said they heard they're ahead of schedule for the Edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan 2nd and anyone's guess as to the schedule since X has replaced the published schedule with "coming soon". They've technically already "slipped" the schedule because during their original press release they stated all ships " by the end of Q1". It would appear 8 of 12 ships would have it by the end of Q1 which is good but not the deployment isn't as fast as advertised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re on Solstice with premium wifi and it’s the worst we’ve experienced in a long time. Connect… disconnected… all day long. Now, it’s possible this is due to it being Thanksgiving week and packed with families and kids… and since we never sail during these busy times I have nothing to compare to.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 5, 2022 #42 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Wanted to report that I'm on Solstice and StarLink is Active. No fanfare except there was a card on the desk when we arrived in our room. Speeds are around 5 down and 1.5 -2 Up I tried making a phone call today while out walking laps so may have had issues with switching between routers but the call was choppy at times. Interne variable with some uploads of photos to CC failing 1/2 way through while other times only a second or 2. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, those numbers are horrible in comparison to the premium speeds on the Beyond. I wonder if the backbone wasn’t upgraded to handle the additional bandwidth, thus the slower speeds?
