Family Travel Story Posted May 31, 2011 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I have been on several lines over the past few years, where due to bandwidth issues, they have blocked skype and magic jack use. Does Oceania and specifically, the Marina allow you to use a Magic Jack or skype when you purchase an internet plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhohea Posted May 31, 2011 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I have been on several lines over the past few years, where due to bandwidth issues, they have blocked skype and magic jack use. Does Oceania and specifically, the Marina allow you to use a Magic Jack or skype when you purchase an internet plan? Just returned from 20 nights on Marina and they do not allow skype. The internet is slow but I found the speed better than on Insignia or Regatta in previous years. BTW - noticed your prev. thread re age. I am early 50's and on this last cruise/s found that the age group is very noticable younger that I have seen on previous Oceania cruises. Not a lot to do after 9pm but there is the nightly show + a DJ disco in Horizons which starts about 11ish I think. But most just make their own fun.

aZ4me Posted May 31, 2011 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2011 We were on Marina in April, and I used Skype daily. It wasn't a wonderful connection...and at times the connection was dropped...but, it did work most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Travel Story Posted May 31, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks for the info. It sounds like Skype is not blocked, but that the internet connection is not great for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wripro Posted June 9, 2011 #7 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Don't really care about the reason. I'll never buy another O internet package. Just got off the Regatta and luckily in Alaska I was able to use my Iphone pretty much everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
