Thanks.  I tried searching both cruise critic and google, didn't find much other than Celebrity signed up for Starlink.  Edited this thread.

Thanks for posting the revised schedule. We'll be on the Eclipse for 32-day TP starting in April and it's nice to know the Starlink service will be active on our cruise. 🙂

Yikes... I just went back to that page and the schedule is missing.

I was kind of wondering what you two were referring to, but figured it was just edited out.

They took the estimated schedule off the Celebrity page a few weeks ago.  I'm not sure if that means they already know it is going to change or if it just should not have ever been posted on the website.

 

All I see now is:

 

Coming Soon

 

Enjoy faster, more reliable internet throughout the Celebrity fleet.

Maybe i still had it cached when I went there earlier today.    I thought the OP may have actually cut and pasted ---  LOL

It was there when I posted, now it’s gone.  If X/ RCG saw this and removed it sounds like the timeline is delayed

Thanks for sharing.

 

It looks like it will be the old, unimproved Internet for me on my next Celebrity cruises - Millennium in November, Summit in February. ☹️  

[viperfoth]

I can’t see it. Maybe it’s partially cached for some.  Solstice for Mexican Riviera end of January so hopefully that stays on schedule.

I can’t speak for the OP’s original question, but I wouldn’t call the answer “Resolved!” The original schedule posted in the same format in another thread listed Apex on 11/12, which happens to be the date of our cruise. Now it’s 12/3. Bummer.  Or is it? It may change again five times before embarkation and three times after.

LOL - I'm wondering if it's in your cache also.     I just tried a  different browser and still gone.

In any event, if the Eclipse timeline holds, we will get the new speedy WiFi for our Feb 2023 NZ cruise.

 

YAY (hopefully)

 

Having just spent a week on Princess' agonizingly slow-w-w-w-w-est ever "Best WiFi at Sea" on their newest ship, I look forward to faster Internet.

You would the Reflection would be done this month since it is in drydock🤔

My WAG (Wild A$$ Guess) is that there is only one installation team who is able to install the starlink hardware when in motion.  X's parent company, RCG, needs to install them on Silverseas ships and RCG ships along with X ships.

It's a guide, nothing more and while anything can change, it gives us some insight to the order of ships.  Since it states the Infinity won't get it until 2024, it's a safe bet to assume X won't announce tomorrow the Infinity now has starlink

I hope the 12/3 date for the Apex is right…that is when I board

Just a FYI:  I just copied and pasted the image (5 hours ago) when it was on the site, it wouldn't have been cached as I haven't visited that page in quite some time.  The image I posted was replaced by the text @CalTexCruiser posted above.  This isn't the first time X coincidently makes changes after it's posted here on CC yet they changed this possibly within an hour.  That's surprisingly fast considering this schedule would need to be validated as inaccurate by someone who knows the starlink schedule and then direct the website change.  No idea if X pays anyone to monitor CC or if X employees are utilizing CC in order to come up with ideas but it indeed seem X is reading CC.  Yet clearly those who are reading don't care about customer service issues and/or refunds...lol

We won't have to wait too long since the Eclipse is possibly going live on Nov 3rd.  If it's not live then probably the whole schedule is off.

I agree.  I am on the Reflection in December and was hoping for better WiFI, oh well.

Validated?  VALIDATED?!? 

Did they hire a new IT team? 😏

 Reflection has been moved to 23rd December this year  - might be why the timeline disappeared as a few dates have changed already
