cindytx3092 Posted April 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Can anyone tell me how the internet was on Grandeur? We are sailing in May and will need to work while on board. I know it should be a vacation but sometimes you just need to work. I would appreciate anyone who can let me know if I will have problems. Thanks!!

Performance will be sluggish since she has the old older Voom, but should work most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw1816 Posted April 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Had no problems in public areas or round the pool. Absolutely awful in the cabin - so much so we got a 50% refund. Aft suite on deck 8 on the April 3rd sailing this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted April 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I found to be horrible in my cabin but nice strong signal to take my work laptop to their computer area. I think on deck 4 near the centrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! Fastest at sea. Have you ever heard of "super mario" the guy who lives onboard the royals ships and has since like 2000. He is able to run his business which his runs onboard because of the speed of the internet. And the internet speed was the clincher in him choosing royal.

Akkers Posted May 4, 2022 #13 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Depends which package you buy. If you get the basic plan its around $20/day/device and speed is slow and sluggish but its enough for facebook and emails. But forget youtube or any streaming.

You will have the best results with the Surf and Stream package. . . and as has been mentioned--no matter which package you get you may have poorer reception in the cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted May 4, 2022 #15 Share Posted May 4, 2022 And rain/wind nearby will impact satellite signal on any ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJustice Posted May 14, 2022 #16 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Was on last week, and it was fair to poor 😞 Not so much the internet, but the WiFi was REALLY spotty making the app almost useless most of the time. I was only able to stream sitting on deck 6 and then not great. Surfing was OK in the "core" of the ship, but pretty bad around the edges, virtually zero in a deck 7 cabin midship. Was bundled in the Key (never again) so didn't hassle with trying to get a refund. I did use the PC in the Internet Cafe one morning and it was on a wired connection instead of WiFi so much better.
