smdubowsky Posted November 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2016 We will be on the Summit in January. Last summer when we were on the Summit we heard that they might be upgrading the internet (faster). Can anyone give an update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivesLikeMario Posted November 26, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2016 We were on in May and in October of this year and were really impressed with the speed. It wasn't quite as quick as it is at home, but close and light years ahead of Princess' internet (which is almost as slow as snail mail). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted November 27, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Faster speed comes with higher cost. For a 7-day cruise, the cost is $264 ($237 if purchased pre-cruise). Price subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last summer when we were on the Summit we heard that they might be upgrading the internet (faster). Can anyone give an update? I can only speak to my own experience with 2 cruises this year on Summit. The internet speed and connection were dreadful on deck 8/Royal Suite unless I went out into the hallway. Never was improved on, so often had to sit in hallway or go outside suite to other areas on ship. Deck 7/Celebrity Suite was better, could even watch netflix on some occasions although not consistent, kept stopping/freezing every few mins.....but never did work in the bedroom. Maybe I am the minority, but do hope you have a better experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkleme Posted November 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 30, 2016 We are on the cruise now. The price I paid for the week access for 1 at a time device was$174.30. That was with a 30% discount for Elite. The speed is pretty good. We could FaceTime with our IPads and IPhones with no issues. Even from our room the speed was pretty good.

Michael $25/day after discount does not sound reasonable to me, especially if you only need a few minutes each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
