Rare KKB Posted April 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I don't need the streaming option--surf is enough. But I don't see any other option in my planner. Can I book Surf onboard--at what price? Surf & Stream is showing $20/day. Might forget it in AK since date works when in port... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted April 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2023 There is no Surf anymore now that we're in the Starlink era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlink has been added to most of the ships and Surf & Stream is the only choice. The internet does seem better than in previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KKB Posted April 6, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Okie dokey--since it is AK I think I'll survive on data! Haven't sailed RCCL since 2018... Edited April 6, 2023 by KKB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an FYI, we have cruised AK 6 times in the last 2 years. Internet is really spotty due to the mountains. The ports didn’t have very good coverage either.

So if you are just looking for an occasional check-in and don't need internet for some reason, you'll probably be fine between data and the local library or similar place.

DarthGrady Posted April 6, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 6, 2023 WiFi was nearly useless on my Alaskan cruise on OV last year, really slow when it was working and frequently out of service entirely. I probably won't bother getting it when/if I go back to Alaska. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted April 6, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I expect internet in Alaska to be much better this season due to Starlink better positioned for internet there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
