Unlimited Internet on Liberty of the Seas

[foobart]

Can anybody confirm if Liberty of the Seas has the new unlimited Internet packages? I need to book a cruise on Liberty in November.

 

Any personal experience also about this?

 

thanks.

Are you saying that if you can't buy an unlimited package then you won't sail on the Liberty? :eek:

But the answer is "yes".

 

From a recent live thread:

 

You are fantastic!!! Sharing information is the greatest gift. Thank you for answering my questions -

 

Do you remember if they offered unlimited internet package and the price?

 

Anything you wish you had done differently either on the ship or land had you known in advance what you know now?

 

Do you remember what time the cabins were open on embarkation?

 

Thanks again -

 

The unlimited internet package was 189.95 reduced to 160 for being a diamond member. I arrived at 10 15 am on embarkation day, was allowed to board at 11 and rooms were open at 1. It's an even easier embarkation day than normal because this os a split cruise. Some boarding in Barcelona and others boarding 3 days later in Rome. Debarkation was simple as well as you don't have to do customs stuff like you would in the USA before you get to the airport. The next day, when I went to the airport, it was a bit more difficult and slow as we were seated at the gate, then told to clear the gate area while customs set up shop, get back in line, go through customs and a carry on bag check then head back to the gate to board.

 

There's nothing really that I would have done differently. I planned things out pretty well ahead of time, saved a ton of money booking ahead of time via raileurope, beat the crowds to all the ports and returned with plenty of time from the ports not to stress. There's so much to see and do in several of the ports that you can't do it all. You almost have to do this itinerary more than once just to complete everything but if it's a once in a lifetime thing then just do what you can.

I answered the OP's question.

 

What did YOU contribute to this thread?

[krisko]

I don't think OP said he wouldn't book Liberty if no unlimited internet, just wondering if there was.

Does the independence have unlimited internet?

The surprising answer is "yes" , we would probably not go on the cruise :)

 

Not for the most obvious reasons though:

1) Don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, so it's not that..

2) No Netflix account either.

3) Don't plan on posting pictures to Cruisecritic or Instagram.

 

During that period I need to be connected/tethered to the network for important work reasons. It's stuff that pays for these cruises in the first place :)

 

If I could also get some reports of actual performance of the connection, that'd be very useful.

I had the un-limited package on Liberty in July. I used it for work as well, and the typical speed I saw was from .2 to 1 mps up and down.

 

I had to download and docusign a contract and up load it, so my wife could download it, sign it and upload it. That took almost 20 minutes in the evening when a lot of people were online. Speed was much better "early" in the morning.

Somewhat better than 56K modem. No VPN capability.

While sailing through Europe one year, I had to complete an assignment for an online graduate class. I can relate to your question. Sometimes life can't be put on hold.
