Albert Ross Posted August 24, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Does anybody know if you can use Skype on your laptop in your cabin on Celebrity Eclipse. Sorry - it is not possible to use Skype anywhere onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyCruises Posted August 24, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 24, 2011 And the internet is very slow and very expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted August 24, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Things such as Skype use too much bandwidth and they are not allowed -- some cruisers have reported being able to make limited voice contact, but not the full range of Skype features. If the computer staff are made aware of an account trying to use Skype, they can block the entire account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caripoo Posted August 24, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2011 We used skype last year on the Connie in the Med... Hit and miss with the hot spots on board... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellasnan Posted August 24, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I used skype on the Connie in March. I used my Apple Touch so I had no picture. I usually did it by the Cafe Al Bacio on deck 5. I didn't have a problem and had a nice conversation with the family.This was done on a sea day at about 11.30am.I spoke to the staff and they said it would be easier to use on a port day when less people are using the internet.

dzcruisers Posted August 24, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I was able to make phone calls with my gmail account. It was pretty clear too considering we were in the middle of the Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
