CulverCityCruisers Posted March 18 #1 Share Posted March 18 Getting ready for our first Windstar sailing on Breeze for 11 days in Tahiti. Does anyone have experience or know if the WiFi works on board in Tahiti and the islands there?? From what I have read, there is no Starlink satellite in French Polynesia.

Just spoke to Windstar and was told that it works very well, with just a few areas that are spotty. Consultant says she sells mostly Tahiti and for the most part has said her customers have had no real issues. Fingers crossed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amunhbuu Posted March 20 #4 Share Posted March 20 We got off a couple of weeks ago. Wifi was fine. We did have to re-authenticate quite a bit for some reason. But the speed was fine for minor browsing and texting. I tried to make a call at one point, and that immediately failed. Not sure if something like what'sapp would have worked better for voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilli Posted March 22 #5 Share Posted March 22 We were just on the Breeze and had the wifi package. we found it to work really well--great for texting and surfing the net. We were able to do a couple FaceTime calls as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah!!! Posted March 31 #6 Share Posted March 31 We are onboard now. WiFi speed has consistently been 5 Mb down, 1.5 Mb upload. It appears they limit bandwidth per device. They do block specific protocols, as we couldn't access our cameras at home. We got around this by using a VPN. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tahitianbigkahuna Posted June 22 #7 Share Posted June 22 Star Link is used on-board. Speed was fine for email and picture/short video uploads. Worked fine throughout the ship. Only complaint I had was some steaming was not available. As mentioned we could not access our at home cameras nor could I listen to iHeart radio for talk radio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
