What do you considering blazing fast? on Carnival Celebration we had speeds up around 138 mbps. Just off MSC Meraviglia we had speeds of about 2-3 mbps. I’d consider the speeds on Carnival blazing fast for a cruise ship. Hoping Oasis is comparable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthGrady Posted July 10, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 10, 2023 It's been hit or miss with Starlink for me so far. Pretty good on Indy last December, but not great on Harmony in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reliability and availability are the bigger issues, not speed. Edited July 10, 2023 by Biker19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
