GrootmoederkKr Posted November 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I read awhile back that NCL was instituting a social media package. The last I saw it had not started on Breakaway. Could anyone that has sailed recently provide any input? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted November 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I read awhile back that NCL was instituting a social media package. The last I saw it had not started on Breakaway ... That pilot trial apparently stalled by the azipods ;p lately ... okay, just a joke (humor) on their promises. Unless something changed within these 2 weeks, nothing is happening at all, since we just got off the BA earlier this month. The onboard iCafe manager had no clue either when I stopped by for something else & asked. The "social media" plan on the 3 ships with it is a limited text only plan for select apps only, no MMS or video/pictures with it, per my understanding - unless NCL can get more bandwidth at its next upgrade in 2018 (I have a "dream" that one day ...) The current plan, speed, latency is good & reasonable fast, better with uploads than downloads, except on the last 2 sea days as more nodes were connected by users needing to do airline reconfirmation & seat assignments, printing boarding passes, etc. (iCafe was actually busy in the afternoon when we strolled by ... earlier in the week, empty, sometimes with 1 or 2 users at most). Like 2016 in Bermuda with the BA, we only used our FAS 250 minutes/1 GB WiFi data and got excellent use out of it (well, we had 2 GB shared last year, ended up using about 1.6GB worth) - since we always switch on our own (cheap) cellular roaming data.
