lrk Posted December 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Which WIFI plan will allow one to facetime from the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted December 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Carnival does not support facetime but it should work on any paid plan. They do support facebook messenger, so have that as a backup in case facetime doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movtarget Posted December 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I have been testing FaceTime, Microsoft Teams Video “Meet Now” (with plans to test Zoom, Zoho Assist, Microsoft RDP) last week and this week on Carnival Magic. Itinerary is Bahamas, Mid-Carribean. Experience is sometimes great synchronization (lip sync), and sometimes laggy, with zero dropped connections. I will create a separate thread post-trip. (IT guy, trying to figure out if working on a cruise is feasible with new Starlink). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csm5986142 Posted December 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I was able attend TEAMS/ZOOM meetings while on Spirit (which did not have Starlink yet) with the premium wifi package, and had no issues at all (this was a 16-day Panama Canal itenerary and coverage was good the whole time).

cat_eyes_rs Posted December 7, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I have been able to use Facebook Messenger to video chat with people back home with just the social media plan. Of course, it just depends on whether the wifi on the ship is being cooperative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vadersprincess12 Posted December 8, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 8, 2023 We usually get the middle plan on the wifi and we have used the WhatsApp for texting and video calling with no charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
