@@jeffdriver3000 I bought the router. I’ll try it on our next cruise. Since the cruise lines use Starlink it would be nice if those who have a Starlink subscription get a massive discount on cruises.
We tried this device on Disney and they blocked the device from connecting other computers or iPads. So it would say the router was connected but the moment another device tried to connect the internet connection didn’t work. Super frustrating and for reference I own a marketing company and worked in IT so if anyone could figure it out it’s me and it just wouldn’t work.
Depends on the ship, room and public area. I would encourage you to try a few spots to see what works best. If I'm the cabin and the access point is in the hallway, prop your door open as the metal door reduces the signal.
What about the internet package that comes along with suites. For instance, we have the owners suite on Oasis of the Seas, family of 4. Will we be able to use our devices at the same time? Thanks for responding
Hi Tina! You will get one device per person booked in the room and all four can use them at the same time. Just ensure you book the right level of suite and room. Always an exception to the rule: www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-are-the-benefits-of-royal-suite-class
Hi. I would be going on the cruise in 2 week’s time. Can i check if I have a room for 2 is it ok if i could connect to the wifi using 2 different user id. For example, someone in the same room has already created their own userid and password but i would like to use the wifi but i do not know the userid and password of the first creater. Is it possible for me to create another userid and password using the same room number?
I think so? I think this is a conversation to have with the person you're traveling with. It is cheaper for you to add another device to their profile and use their information. You would just need to pay them out of pocket.
I buy the one device package. When I need the Internet for my laptop I turn on USB tethering so I can have a simultaneous connection for my phone and laptop.
The ship wifi is accessible in just about every nook and cranny on the ship. I have been in one or two public restrooms where it didn't carry but that is it. Will also get reception just off the ship when in port too.
@@TheWeekendCruiser Sorry I was thinking your video was mentioning using a travel router. I keep seeing them but wondered if they work as good. But then read you have to carry the router with you. Booo
@@MelissaGreer3211 I actually had a company approach me to review their travel router. I tried it on RCL and it worked but with 25% reduced bandwith which was already really low. I couldn't recommend it and it was top of the line. Believe MSC has also fully disabled them from working.
When I buy an internet package for my wife and I (where we can use the devices at the same time) should I choose two packages or one package with 2 devices? I notice when I pick myself with 2 devices it is considerably cheaper than both of us with a package and one device each. Can we both surf and stream at the same time with one person and two devices?
You always want to purchase all your devices under one package or account. This will give you the cheaper bulk pricing! Even though it is purchased on your account, you have the number of devices to use however you want and can easily share the log in information.
Buy for 3 devices to get the best deal. That will generate 1 username and password that can be shared on up to 3 devices at one time. Can change the selected 3 if needed with no issue. If you buy one per person, it will cost a good bit more.
can't you just buy for one person only but select 4 devices and then I can share the login/pw with the other people in my room without having to pay per person?
Idea use a laptop (or some other thing that has this) and turn on its personal hotspot and then u can have as much devices u want (watch a video for personal hotspot) very useful
I don't believe you can hotspot from a public network. You can hotspot from a cell tower though. I did try a travel router just last week on Royal and it "worked" but speeds were reduced by 75%.
Hi! If i am travelling with a total of 4 adults and buy only 1 DEVICE. Am i right to say I can switch device from adult to adult if only 1 adult is using? (best saving?)
That is correct. If you buy the 1-device package, any one of those 4 people will be able to use the device at one time. They just have to know the log-in information.
Hi! Im going in May! I will be with my teen daughter at my room. So i can buy only for me but for 2 devices. Each one logs with same username and password and so each one of us will have internet in our cellphones during 8 days using them at the same time. Im correct?🎉🎉🎉
I just want clarification! My family of 4 will be cruising in March on Allure of the Seas. When I am buying my internet, do I have to check all 4 names and 1 device each or can I just check my name & say I have 4 devices? We will all want to use our phones and some at the same time.
Buy 4 devices for one person. This will give you one user name and one password that can be used to log into 4 devices. This will give you the bulk discount as well! Do not buy 4 individual devices. Hope this helps!
If you are close to land and using cellular data, yet. If you are on ship wifi only, no. However, I should be getting a travel router soon to test out and hear this works great on ships. Stay tuned!
@@TheWeekendCruiser You can share WiFi easily with a Windows 10/11 laptop as well - Mobile Hotspot feature in Windows can share internet connection across WiFi, Ethernet, & Bluetooth.
@@Daz5Daz Really? I will have to check this out. Maybe there is a TH-cam video! On MSC now and they normally have all of this stuff locked on their system.
So if I'm going on cruise with my family of 4, and I purchase 1 internet package for 4 devices, will all 4 of us be able to use the wifi at the same time?
Hey Carol, you will not. You will be able to use one wifi device at a time. Anyone of the four could use it at one time. With two devices purchased, two devices can be used at same time with same log in information.
If you purchase for 1 guest, 4 devices, yes all those devices can be used at the same time. At least that's what he said in another comment, so I don't know why there's a contradiction here.
Not a techie here but I have never been successful at this and do not think it works that way. You can not hotspot another Wifi and need a cell tower for that. What I HAVE heard works, is a travel router but have not tried one out yet.
Most phones do not support Wifi to WiFi hotspot. Vast majority are Wifi to Cell only. Windows 10/11 does allow WiFi to WiFi though so worth considering as many have a Windows laptop lying around.
@@Daz5Daz The only problem with this concept is I don't want to take my laptop around with me on the ship so I have internet. Most people will really need the internet on their phone first and laptop second. Could be good in special situations where you want to add an ipad or a device that only stays in the room.
@@TheWeekendCruiser it can be a hassle but beggars can't be choosers. It's probably the only wifi to wifi hotspot solution that many people can achieve easily with no extra cost.
unless RC somehow blocks hotspot ability, you shouldn't have an issue hotspotting your phone to another phone. I've done that between phones and phone to laptop when no wifi available.
Excellent info before our cruise. Thank you.
You saved me $100, I’m on the cruise ship right now. Thank you
A better idea is get yourself a travel router like the GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 and you can connect as many devices at once in your room that you want
Hey Jeff! I keep hearing stories like this but I am just not an advance tech guy and haven't figured out how to try it yet.

This video was so helpful!! I called Royal but this was the best video💯😁
Aww thank you Hannah! Glad it clicked for you!
hi how is your experience of the royal caribbean internet voom in your cabin versus in public areas of the ship (speedwise)? thank you 🙂
Depends on the ship, room and public area. I would encourage you to try a few spots to see what works best. If I'm the cabin and the access point is in the hallway, prop your door open as the metal door reduces the signal.
hopefully symphony of the seas will give me a fair connection in the cabin 🤞🏻 thank you!!!
@@abbysisson8580 It's always a gamble but fingers crossed here too!

I have never tried USB tethering! That might be something I do on my next trip to see if it works. Just need some cables!
How good does it work on Royal Caribbean on the bigger ships. Range wise. Does it work well from tip of front to very back of the boat or no?
The ship wifi is accessible in just about every nook and cranny on the ship. I have been in one or two public restrooms where it didn't carry but that is it. Will also get reception just off the ship when in port too.

Can you hotspot your devices (woth paid wifi) so you can share your internet with other device simultaneously?
Yes
You cannot. Though, I have heard there is a travel router that may be able to do this but I am not tech savy enough to use this strategy.
Great info.. thanks!
You know it's dangerous to make a search on Google and film the possible history list right? 😅 Tnx great info!!
Hahaha ohh 100% certain of that! Pretty sure I screened everything before filming to be on the safe side! 😂
Maybe post a screenshot of that VOOM info sheet.
That would be helpful! Though, wish TH-cam allowed a way to add it as an attachment. In the video, I worry it might be too small to read.

If I get the 'Premium Wi-Fi 2 Devices' in celebrity cruises, can we use 2 iphones(husband and I)?
Yes, you can use each wifi device you purchase on one device at a time. You can also change the device out for another one.
@@TheWeekendCruiser Thank you 감사합니다~~~>_
Quick question, So if I buy internet for 3 people, I would have to choose 3 devices if we didn't want to switch over? Thanks

can't you just buy for one person only but select 4 devices and then I can share the login/pw with the other people in my room without having to pay per person?
That’s what I’m trying to figure out
Yes, that is the most efficient way to do it! One person, will give you one log-in for how ever many devices you choose. Def most cost effective.

I thought if you chose one person but 2 devices only one person at a time could use the internet?
Can I choose 1 person and 3 devices even if we're not in the same room? (It's 8 of us and we have 2 rooms.)
You sure can! You just have to share your username and password and you'll be all set. They don't even have to be in your party
hi, if i get the internet plan for 1 guest but 3 devices , can 3 people use the wifi at the same time?
You sure can! And that's how you get the best pricing! Just use the same log in information for all 3 devices.

If i have a brazilian visa as a Gambian citizen, can i visit all countries in South and central America with my brazilian visa?
This is well above my TH-cam pay grade 🤣 I would seek out a good travel agent who specializes in similar situations.
I wish there'd been something like this on my Virgin Voyage. Couldn't even ChromeCast stuff to the TV either!
(I love how Americans say 'Waeh Faeh' 🤣)

No one says "way fay" (long a sound), we say ''why fiy" (long i signs).
