Majesty Independence Liberty I was on Radiance last month and paid for what was advertised to be VOOM. It was not any faster than what I have experienced on all cruises pre Voom. I was very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because you got sucked into the marketing hype of VOOM, where you assumed incorrectly that VOOM means O3B internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serialcruiser48 Posted July 10, 2017 #329 Share Posted July 10, 2017 If it's not O3b you have the misfortune of paying for Voom, but instead receiving GLOOM :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serialcruiser48 Posted July 10, 2017 #330 Share Posted July 10, 2017 As per Rohan, a 3 stripe IT manager currently on the Liberty; who turns up O3b told me the Enchantment, Empress, Majesty and Mariner has O3b. He also said Adventure is up next for O3b, maybe in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said Adventure is up next for O3b, maybe in September. Unless it happened very recently Empress does not have O3B. I've not heard about Mariner but we have very few reports from her about anything never mind VOOM. Good to hear that they are proceeding with upgrades on other ships. I wonder why the pause between Freedom over a year ago and Liberty/now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why the pause between Freedom over a year ago and Liberty/now? I was told the equipment typically used for O3b would not work on the Liberty in Galveston last year when they tested O3b implementation. Upgrades were needed for O3b in Galveston which it now has. This is only day 1 of my 1st O3b cruise on the Liberty and will be tested throughout the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine for Liberty, but no ship has been upgraded since Freedom until now - like there was a one+ year pause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted July 10, 2017 #334 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Fine for Liberty, but no ship has been upgraded since Freedom until now - like there was a one+ year pause. They don't need to upgrade to O3B. All the ships have VOOM. [emoji6] Good to know about Mariner. We'll be on her 41 days in prime O3B territory. With free internet no less.

We had one report that showed O3B like speeds, but as with some other reports, it could have been a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I still have the ? after Enchantment - like Indy, I think we may have had one sketchy confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted July 11, 2017 #344 Share Posted July 11, 2017 But you will stick with all those Painicles with free internet. The last leg should be swarming with them. A lot of them are bad mouthing her because of the perceived view she reeks of smoke from her China days. So, maybe they won't show up. The suites, including JS, seem to all be gone for all 3 legs.
