joiedevivre Posted February 3 #1 Share Posted February 3 I know that we get included wifi and internet. How about using your cell phone to call home once a day. Also, can you use zoom on board for meetings in Florida ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, can you use zoom on board for meetings in Florida ? I believe you would need the Stream package which is included with Penthouse Suites and above and Diamond status or above. If you don't qualify, then you would need to pay to upgrade from the included Surf package to the Stream package. https://www.seabourn.com/en/us/wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthtones Posted February 4 #3 Share Posted February 4 You can use your phone to make a wifi call on WhatsApp (or another service that works on wifi, like Facebook) without any upgrade. I suspect you could also use Zoom if participants turn off cameras, especially given the Starlink upgrade. If you do need to upgrade to the streaming level service, you must buy it for every day remaining on your cruise, so the price will go down every day you wait to upgrade.

Croozing Prof Posted February 10 #7 Share Posted February 10 I was wondering if anyone has used Zoom onboard? Is the signal good enough to run a meeting during sea days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, can’t guarantee it works all the time. Nancy Edited February 10 by nancygp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I teach and am curious if I can conduct my lesson on Zoom. Appreciate the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
