Symphony of the Seas Internet

[JKP111]

I've heard varying reviews of internet on different RC ships, but nothing about the new Symphony of the Seas, which we are taking next month.

 

Can anyone tell me how it is?

 

Thanks!

Based on an earlier review, it uses the faster O3b service, so it should be like the other Oasis class ships.

We found the wifi to be excellent

It was excellent for our May cruise in the Med.

Do you have to have Voom to communicate on ship with other guests? Or I've heard about the RoyalIQ app on some ships. We just want to be able to communicate with our friends via text while on the ship. Thanks for any info.

You can use Royal IQ on Harmony and Quantum class ships, for $8 per device. Those ships also have a firewall hole that has been allowing iMessage for free.

 

Other ships would require VOOM or paying your cell carrier by the text, for example AT&T charges $0.50 per text while at sea.

The Captain told us that they were working on a 'chat' function within the new RCI app that they hope to release soon, and that no purchase of wifi would be needed.

The wifi speed on Symphony was good. Sorry I forgot to do a speed test.

Sitting in our stateroom right now on Symphony and internet is very good.
