ILOVESHIPS Posted April 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2022 We will be on the Wonder of the Seas TA. Mallorca is our port before Barcelona. We will be getting off in Barcelona and flying back to US at 1 pm. We plan to use emeds if the ship does not provide a test for us. Has anyone used them on the ship in a quiet area where we could do them. Has the internet ever gone out during the procedure. Please advise. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the internet is pretty good, the outages, if any, are so random that any historical reporting is meaningless. Assume, you''ll be able to test (get the Stream tier) and if interrupted, simply reconnect when the internet comes back. Do it in your cabin.

ILOVESHIPS Posted April 17, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted April 17, 2022 So it is difficult to use these emeds. We will be in Mallorca they day before Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted April 17, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 17, 2022 It is very easy to do these tests online. You definitely want to have the surf and stream wifi the day you do onboard. Takes 15 minutes on video call. Check out utube videos of people doing the tests to see how it is done. They will email you the results. The tests are temperature sensitive so it is recommended you keep in carryon bag if flying to Port to board Wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve used these tests and they are very easy to use. If you have concerns about the internet, the ship should dock early enough in Barcelona to take the test before you disembark. The internet should be strong at the port. We are cruising in Europe again in June and will have these test with us to use to board the ship and also fly back to the US after the cruise. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted April 18, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2022 We plan on using them in Amsterdam after our TA at the end of this month. I've heard and read testimonials from many people and everyone is very happy with the process, the time it takes and the speed in which you get your results emailed back to you. Have fun!

Rare twangster Posted April 18, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I'd avoid starting any test using Voom if heavy rain is approaching the ship. Voom will go out during heavy rain and not return until the heavy rain passes the area. That's the nature of satellite internet. If you are in a port of call and have cell service that may work better during rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharktums Posted April 18, 2022 #9 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I've used the emed tests twice in Europe over the past few months and plan to use them again in Italy this summer for our cruise. If the internet goes out, there's a button to reconnect and it shouldn't ruin anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
