TonicTraveler Posted September 5 #1 Share Posted September 5 I'd like to hear people's experience with the internet onboard Nautica as it does not yet have Starlink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesimapirate Posted September 5 #2 Share Posted September 5 (edited) I believe @Orv is currently on the ship and posting. Also, apparently I don't know how to tag people in here 🙂 Edited September 5 by Yesimapirate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MargateKev Posted September 6 #4 Share Posted September 6 Starlink was installed on the Nautica on cruise to South Africa by the time we had disembarked in Capetown in early May. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this ship has Starlink then they better get their money back. This is without a doubt the worst internet system of any cruise ship I’ve ever been on. I haven’t been able to read an email since the last port where I could use my phone. I can read CC sometimes and reply sometimes. It has taken me over 10 minutes to reply to this thread. Perhaps they have the hardware but it’s not operational yet. I’ll do some digging and see what I can find out. Did I mention it’s worse than the slowest dial up you ever had? For those of you old enough to remember such things. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted September 6 #6 Share Posted September 6 Here’s the deal, the hardware was installed in May, it’s “supposed” to be operational in November. I hope so as we’re on in December for 20 days. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several workmen boarded in Miami and installed Starlink during our transatlantic. Family member was on the same ship in August. Learned that Starlink will not be operational until at least October....although fully installed, waiting for contract with old internet carrier to expire. Understand same sorts of delays due to contracts are occurring on multiple Oceania and Regent ships. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be onboard in March and I'm hoping for better internet connectivity than what you are experiencing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSahoy Posted September 6 #9 Share Posted September 6 Also on in March. Will hope it’s operational by then too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
