fastpitchdad Posted January 4, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Can you purchase unlimited WIFI and use it for ECHO in your cabin for music? I don't see why not unless they block its ports. Video streaming was a challenge for me but I was able to use Webex audio from my phone using unlimited internet just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prosoft Posted January 4, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2018 We just returned from a HAL cruise, where we saw for the first time, unlimited Internet. There were three packages available, depending on the type of Internet use. Sorry, I do not have the details, of each level, but I believe there was a basic surfing, email and surfing, and I believe one that permitted social networking and streaming, along with email and surfing. We bought the second level for $99. Keep in mind, it only allows one device to be connected at a time, so if you are also using other devices, you would have to shut off or disconnect your echo each time, then re-establish the connection, if you could get it to work. While the Internet has improved tremendously, there is still a noticeable latency, and sometimes the connection has to be re-established. If you could get it to work, I doubt you would be happy with the results; choppiness and disconnecting potential. You could just use it as a bluetooth speaker. This way, you could have all of your music on either a phone, tablet or notebook computer, and simply stream through bluetooth to the Echo. The added benefit, is that you do not have to worry about having Wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted January 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I don't see how you would get the Echo on the wifi. I don't believe they support the splash page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zqvol Posted January 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Can you purchase unlimited WIFI and use it for ECHO in your cabin for music? Just realize that you can only have one device connected at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
