Ship-wide Wifi LIVE on Jewel!

[entrepreneur83]

Happy to report that the ship-wide ("pervasive") wifi is live on Jewel! I had read conflicting reports about whether it was active ahead of her dry dock but according to a staff member it takes longer than the dry dock time to install the new wifi system so it was done ahead of time.

 

We had a coupon in our stateroom for 10% off an unlimited wifi package plus buy 1 package and get the 2nd half off. Unlimited is $20 per day and the second device is $10.

 

I found that I can use the 1 device package on my phone, log off, and use it on my laptop. They give you an access code to enter on their wifi splash screen.

 

I measured the speed at 0.3 Mbps up/down from my stateroom so I'm not sure if this is the same service being marketed as "Voom" on other RC ships or not.

I plan on doing that on our next cruise. How do you log off?

I just turn off the wifi on my device and have no problem logging in with another. It's not like the old wifi where there was a status page with a timer and log off button.

 

Don't purchase the package beforehand as there is a 10% off coupon when you get to your cabin (we are C&A Gold if that makes a difference).

No Voom on Jewel yet. Voom will be much faster.
