There is real concern the 5th May sailing to Mumbai will go ahead, due to the requirement to get to the Med. Something's got to give. I hope they decide to contine with the Singapore to Mumbai (as I am on it) and forego the 9th June sailing from Athens. The next sailing is 20th June from Athens which it MIGHT be able to make if leaving Mumbai 23rd May. Fingers crossed.

Can the onboard internet be used 24/7, or only when the ship is at sea?

Thanks.

Hi cruiser, just to let you know Jewel did not get Voom. We were on her just after Yard. The system now is much better than the old one she had before but about 50% speed of voom. We had Voom on allure in Jan and super fast. Bob

Just read elsewhere that Jewel actually does have Voom. How can I find out for sure?

Thanks for the replies folks. That's been really useful. Might just go for the lesser Surf package, do skype calls without video, and see how that goes.

We are on Jewel in July and I am considering one of the internet packages but am admittedly a little confused about a couple of points. Would we need the VoomSurf + Stream for using Skype? And how well does it work at sea?

Also, I have read that Jewel of the Seas only offers "hotspots" around the ship. I was hoping this is old info as it has been in dry dock recently and would expect to find the wifi available throughout the ship now. Anybody know what the situation is? Thanks.
