I was in the "leave your drone at home" camp until I saw that video. That's really cool.

lol thank you sir....

Iamchristone - what ship is that? I loved that video

the carnival sunshine and thank you so much! this weekend i'll prob put up a video of all the christmas activities and decorations and stuff. plus a couple of timelapse videos

What good is a drone if you must keep it in your room?

only while at sea. i take it into port with me. just like you can see in the video that i did

They state that they are not allowed on board. You got lucky.

This is from their website:

The following items may be brought on board but can only be used off the ship, for port use only . All items must be stored in the guest’s stateroom. Drone Cameras Snorkel gear...

NICE!!! Here is one I just did of the Carnival Sunshine

I just read another thread about this. I want to go on NCL sooo bad, but no drone is a deal breaker for me.

Here is a drone video I put together from a cruise we got back from a couple weeks ago.

This is interesting. I was actually looking at going on a couple of NCL this year and next. That is a deal breaker for me if that's the truth. Carnival will let you bring it but must remain in your room.

Here is a quick drone video I took last week of the Sunshine. You can subscribe to my channel as I have timelapse, 360° photos/videos and i will be posting tons of more drone videos.

Regarding cell service, check with your carrier. I took a brief look into this and got good information here but ultimately decided I did not need voice calling so didn't pursue it further. But sounds like may be an option for you OP.

yeah, we're not looking for cell service through the provider. that gets too expensive. looking for wifi strong enough to possibly call out. probably going to be a hit and miss thing id assume

You should have very little problem making voice calls on Majesty.

via wifi?

What does your work entail? On Enchantment I could check my work emails and get into some of my Salesforce dashboards, I could def do the basics but could not stream video. I could browse social media but opening up a PowerPoint took a while. I think VPNs are blocked as well. If your work isn’t graphic intensive I think you can get by alright

not graphic intensive. i run a trucking company so i need to be able to have access to emails constantly. i use some load boards i need to have access to and i really need to be able to make and receive calls somehow. not sure if this permits it or not, but sure would be nice.

Just realize that feedback from others means little for your particular situation - number of users, sat issues, time of day, etc can all affect performance and can vary not only between ships but even on the same ship.

i always thought the same thing. but everything i'm reading about the harmony of the seas, everyone says that no matter the time of day or where in the sea they are or location on the ship and they all get super fast speeds.

i remember when satelite internet came out. super stupid slow and crazy expensive. my mind cant process it being fast at all. i usually sail carnival and the internet is BRUTAL!

Assuming not too many people on at the same time, you can still make wifi calls on the older technology ships.

I'm wanting to test the technology to see if it would let me work from a ship. From what i'm reading, the harmony has no issues even in high usage times. it would be nice to be able to make calls and work for a few hours each day. i know i know, its vacation. but if i can work from a ship, i can sail a few times a year instead of once.

Majesty has the faster O3b service. Not sure if that has made it to Enchantmnt as yet.

yes! the O3B technology is what i was reading about. so the Majesty has it? Great to know!

OK, so I know this push of "ZOOM" is supposedly the fastest at sea. From my research has shown that the Harmony of the Seas is fast enough to do wifi calling and streaming netflix and basically near home speeds. I've read that most of the other ships do not due to the technology - or lack there of.

So, my question is: How fast, reliable and good is the Internet on teh Majesty and Enchantment? I'm asking about the premium package (i forget the name of it).

I could not figure out how to edit my original post. If you are watching this from your phone, you willl need to actually watch it in the YouTube app to get the full effect. When done, you can move your phone around and the camera follows your phone.

That was very cool. My guess is that the camera is starboard, under the bridge.

Thank you! It was directly under the bridge. I still never got to figure out what Starboard is and the other one is lol. I had a balcony room in 7107.

Very cool.

Thanks!

Check out the 360° Time-Lapse of The Carnival Sunshine as we were coming into Nassau. You can move the camera around in any direction to see different angles. ENJOY!
