Hulagirl Posted October 25, 2022 #52 Share Posted October 25, 2022 No indication why the internet is so bad on the Discovery. It just seems to be the way it is and accepted from what I could tell. Honestly we have never had it this bad except when we were in the North Sea off of Norway several years ago. At least with the CA Coastal we were in port several days and I could then just use my phone off the ship to catch up on e-mail, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is when they rolled out MedallionNet, my wife and I tried it out on the Sky on a transatlantic cruise and it was awesome. It’s been borderline unusable ever since. I can’t believe they are still trying to market this as the best internet at sea. We’re in Mazatlán this morning and have usable internet for the first time since Saturday. Hope the Internet/WIFI gets better for you. I read a post from guest on Celebrity Solstice, they said the same thing --WIFI wasn't working until they passed Cabo. Maybe it is due to the satellite.

We will be on the 10/29 sailing. The next time you go to Guest Service, if you don't mind, please kindly ask how many total passengers and how many Elite members will be on the 10/29 sailing. TIA!!

SwimCarrie Posted October 25, 2022 #56 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I was on Discovery in May from Vancouver to Seattle and didn't really notice any trouble. I only logged on to read emails, look at Facebook and use What's App. Are those currently functioning well? Is all the stuff with the medallion working (room service, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victory2020 Posted October 28, 2022 #61 Share Posted October 28, 2022 If anyone is currently on Discovery - or will be in the immediate future- can you walk by D315 (inside between mid & forward elevators) & tell me what the blank space next to it is?
