Z'Loth Posted January 19 #1 Share Posted January 19 Having gotten off the Celebrity Equinox after a cruise that ran from January 8th to January 18th, I can confirm that there are some challenges when using the basic WiFi package. While streaming media (audio/video) and using WiFi calling/texting on your mobile phone were already expected to be not available, plus the speed limitation put into place, there is also active blocking of content on sites. One of those sites happens to be Cruise Critic which became more and more unusable as cached content expired and could not be reloaded especially with the JavaScript used to run the web forums. It's annoying but to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahasamatman Posted January 19 #2 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Still better than Silversea's basic Internet. Not only do they block content, they actually block ports used by many apps. Edited January 19 by mahasamatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Gopher Posted January 19 #3 Share Posted January 19 I’m betting Celebrity is blocking Cruise Critic on the basic package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 20 #4 Share Posted January 20 To my knowledge they are not blocking CC. CC uses a lot of scripts and behind the scenes code gathering data and accessing other websites. They are also embedding adverts on the headers and said bars that contribute to this. The cap on data speed just can't usually handle it. Even with the highspeed there are often lags and if you look on bottom left you will see all the sites being accessed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
