WiFi on Star Breeze in Tahiti

[CulverCityCruisers]

Getting ready for our first Windstar sailing on Breeze for 11 days in Tahiti. Does anyone have experience or know if the WiFi works on board in Tahiti and the islands there??  From what I have read, there is no Starlink satellite in French Polynesia.

So looking forward to this cruise!! I've heard there is no WiFi.

Just spoke to Windstar and was told that it works very well, with just a few areas that are spotty.  Consultant says she sells mostly Tahiti and for the most part has said her customers have had no real issues.  Fingers crossed

We got off a couple of weeks ago.  Wifi was fine.  We did have to re-authenticate quite a bit for some reason.  But the speed was fine for minor browsing and texting.  I tried to make a call at one point, and that immediately failed.  Not sure if something like what'sapp would have worked better for voice.

We were just on the Breeze and had the wifi package.  we found it to work really well--great for texting and surfing the net. We were able to do a couple FaceTime calls as well.

We are onboard now. WiFi speed has consistently been 5 Mb down, 1.5 Mb upload.  It appears they limit bandwidth per device.  They do block specific protocols, as we couldn't access our cameras at home.  We got around this by using a VPN.
