Streaming service on Encore

[thesnoopster2]

Taking a couple kids and if we upgrade to premium Internet, will the kids be able to stream into their classrooms if needed?  Is premium service ok to do that?  

 

Also, second question.  I saw some place that streaming/video Internet is only available in cabins and not in common areas.  I doubt that, but someone did say that so I thought I would ask.  My youngest likes to watch Bluey during dinner so checking to make sure that would be ok

I would think that the actual *infrastructure* would support classroom access...but what is likely more important is the actual *method* (i.e. application) used to do this.  Some technologies are very "finicky" about how stable your connection is...even more so than the speed at which is available.

 

As for locations on the ship...if your internet package provides for streaming, it *should* be available throughout the ship.  Of course, you may very well find a few "dead spots" that have poor wifi coverage... YMMV!

Dead zones happen.  I completely understand that.  You could be right about streaming classroom though.  I could see a situation where they let you in the classroom, tech freezes up for a second so it kicks you off, then you can't get back in.... Could see that happening
