On the Vista I was able to do Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and HBOMax but I couldn’t get Hulu or Disney+ to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted July 29, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I've got a couple VPN options to try to get by blocks - assuming the VPN's are not themselves blocked! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundloop Posted July 29, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2021 In the past when I've had the "premium" wifi it really wasn't fast enough to stream anything. I'd imagine it would be even slower going through a VPN. Maybe Carnival has upgraded the wifi during their time off, but I'm not holding my breath.

Most of what I'd be streaming is going to be Pandora or Sirius - so not a big bandwidth hog, over the short term at least. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockwall_cruiser Posted July 29, 2021 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2021 For VPN, I was able to use Teamviewer to connect to my home, then VPN from home to office. This was on Panorama 1 week before the shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just download a few shows/movies before leaving home- even if the ship WIFI allows them to work there might be buffering 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeard78 Posted July 29, 2021 #8 Share Posted July 29, 2021 can you purchase Premium wifi by the day when you are onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the newer ships now allow Netflix..etc on the premium plan (that is they are not blocked) One question I have-do the TVs have USB inputs if I want to view content from my tablet or phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure you still can, though it's cheaper per day to buy a package on day 1, and much cheaper per day to buy the package in advance.

Back "in the day" I actually carried on a full (Samsung as I recall) remote and had the codes to get the TV's out of "Hotel Mode", thereby activating the other inputs. I'd imagine that they have made things a bit more restrictive with each new system they deploy. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
