jbjb93 Posted September 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Help! I need to do a conference call while at sea. I have the option to do a skype call. Can I do this with the unlimited internet? And therefore not use cell service? If you have experience and tips with connectivity I would love to hear them. We are sailing on the Eclipse leaving Vancouver 9/22/19 for Hawaii. Call will be on first sea day after leaving Vancouver. Any help is much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GastroGnome Posted September 12, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I've done press calls via skype. You are dependent on the satellite signal and if you are bouncing around a lot that an be shaky. But otherwise the unlimited internet package works fine and is massively cheaper than cellular at sea!

bikerunner Posted September 12, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I had to do a couple web ex meetings and was fine. Sat on my balcony and no one even knew I had finished my margaritas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted September 12, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Good luck with that! You will battling with all the other passengers for bandwidth and they are all making you tube videos and streaming movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted September 13, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2019 If your going to call from your cabin. Check the hall and see where the WiFi is located. Small boxes near the ceiling. I've had to go stand in the hall to get a better signal. Or try near Micheal's Club/Retreat. You should have a better signal their. I call my parents every day to check in on them when cruising via Skype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
