Host Carolyn Posted July 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Is Royal Caribbean set up on internet to block other access. We have Verizon hot spot we can use in port on New England days for no charge but someone told me that you have to use theirs. I can use 4G network too but don't need to pay $20 a day with the hot spot! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the ship is in port, they turn off their cellular service, so you should have no interference from the ship while in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted July 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2015 You may need to go outside to get a good signal. Solarium may work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rudeney Posted July 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2015 So you want to use your VZW 4G phone (or Jet Pack) on the land-based cellular network to provide yourself a Wifi hot-spot? RCCL would not block that. At least in the USA, it is illegal to block other's wireless signals (4G or Wifi). You may not get a good signal due to all the steel in the ship, but they can't do anything to actively block it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 27, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2015 At sea, you will get NO signal but the ships...and you'll pay for that. In port, you can access whatever signals are coming from land....no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudbmw Posted July 27, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Last year on the Oasis, we were delayed the last morning two hours for a search (no one found). We needed to rebook our flights, so while sailing off the coast near Miami (ship's cellular still on), I turned off roaming while still at sea. The Verizon signal worked fine and I took care of everything without roaming charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted July 27, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2015 In our last Freedom, we still had 4G about 15 minutes after passing Jetty Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
