Jedi_Laz Posted March 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I read RCCL is rolling out Star Link, is it on the Ovation? The last time I cruised Vroom was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted March 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I doubt the ships based here are on the priority list for the roll out. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2022/09/19/starlink-added-first-cruise-ship-royal-caribbean-signed-deal-spacex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted March 2, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 2, 2023 All the initial PR from RCI was that all ships would have it by the end of 1st quarter 2023. That is still a few weeks away though, and there is a chance they will wait for Ovation to head back to the US before adding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t ,the rumours are ,they have trouble getting approval to license it in parts of the pacific. That vroom is pretty woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jandex Posted April 1, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2023 The internet on Ovation this week has not been too good. Constantly cutting out. I did manage to do a call on WhatsApp this morning. My husband has been using zoom everyday with mixed results - usually finds opening stateroom door just a crack helps a lot. We complained about internet and the staff told us that they needed new Cisco equipment (means nothing to me) but that he wasn’t sure when it would be installed. I think will still be an issue for a while… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to go into it but it’s useless and his response was how much? One time I said $50 and another I said $100 ,he just replied with room number please.
