CherryG Posted November 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Leaving on Saturday on the NS and wondering about how the WIFI is. I haven't purchased yet, but do need to keep in contact with home. Normally I've found WIFI next to impossible on ships, but it has been 4 years since I cruised. Anyone been on the NS lately and can comment for me? Thank you.

(Sept experience) Was Wifi good enough to get/send emails? Texts w/photos? I hope to check in with our pet sitter using emails or texts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherryG Posted November 6, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Banditswife, that's why I want to be connected. To check on my dog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On sea days the demand will be high on the bandwidth will be high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising-along Posted November 6, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 6, 2022 We disembarked the NS yesterday after spending 28 days onboard. We had the Wifi package and used it a lot, all for emails, texts w/photos and social media. There were very few times I had any problems using it. When doing Facetime with the grandkids, we did that in port and used our T-mobile coverage. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted November 6, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I sailed TA on the NS and even had weak internet out in the Atlantic but that was before 6:30 am. It is good enough for texting and email but no more. If you are in port everyday I wouldn’t buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did cruisers get processed by time slots or was it a free-for-all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We embarked in Quebec City and it went very well, at least in our case. Right after we arrived around 11-11:30, they called for all 4 and 5-star Mariners to board. But friends who arrived shortly after us didn't have as good an experience -- sorry I don't remember their circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
