Sam Rewiti Posted September 23 #1 Share Posted September 23 If we buy WIFI for one device, do you know if we can hotspot a second device? Is the Onboard Internet access at In Touch (Deck 10) free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatnix Posted September 23 #2 Share Posted September 23 We tried and it didn't work. It is technically denied. No free access, you my use the workstation with your booked plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjfan417 Posted September 23 #3 Share Posted September 23 You can share the wi-fi package, but only one person can use it at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted September 24 #4 Share Posted September 24 I just looked if I could hotspot to my husbands phone and on the settings page it shows as 'No Service' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great if you're sharing an eSIM, which I've done, but you need a land-based signal for this to work. However, my Dell/Windows 11 laptop can simultaneously use WiFi and make it available as a hotspot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted September 24 #7 Share Posted September 24 We were on the world cruise on the Onward and internet was some of the best we have ever had on a cruise ship. We could actually stream videos, something we have never been able to do onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard package I've always found to buffer a lot, even with just music rather than video. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil I believe we had one account (which happened to be mine) on the upgrade and the second was regular. When we went around Africa they upgraded everyone to the upgraded version. With only around 150 passengers the system could easily handle it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Butlin Posted September 24 #10 Share Posted September 24 Assuming you have a wifi package are you able to connect third party devices to the internet / TV e.g. a Firestick or gaming console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
