NCL's streaming speed of 2 to 3 Mbps is generally slower than needed to do live HD videos as most recommend/specify 3 Mbps as the minimum for SD video - as always, check with your app providers, carriers since YMMV.SpaceX has secured another major cruise line as a customer as Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has signed an agreement to provide Starlink internet onboard its cruise ships. With those 250+ 440/60/120 extra (P/+) airtime minutes, we never had problems uploading & posting photos to CC, social media & other apps' accounts and, VoIP HD audio calls worked just fine - video callings are a bit more challenging at times. not something you can (easily ?) do in advance as prepayment is generally charged immediately to one's credit card on file.

The other advantage, by waiting until onboard, is that we can used those non-refundable OBC to our advantage, by offsetting any upgrade charges or add-on fees. We would wait until Day 2, as that's saving a day's worth of extra charges (at most, using 2 or 3 hours worth of "unlimited" access on a busy & sometimes, hectic embarkation schedule.

are sufficient on a trial basis, before committing to paying for extra add-ons or upgrades.
The best way to ascertain is to be onboard first and then see how & whether the bandwidth and speed, etc. The *away/plus class ships tend to have newer hardware to align with the high orbiting satellites used by NCLH (whereas RCL & Carnival with another partner deployed different, low orbiting satellite tech - known/proven by others to be faster, better & less costly) "Older" ships had also gotten upgrades & with fewer cabins/passengers - aren't as congested with the shared data traffic. The difference between "Upgrade to Unlimited Wi-Fi" ($84.93) and "Upgrade to Unlimited Premium Wi-Fi (with Streaming) ($119.93) is only $35 ($5 per day).Įven if you could upgrade on board, I'd just upgrade to the streaming package now and avoid wasting time on board waiting for and working with Internet Services Manager who is only available at certain hours and may be dealing with other passengers.

This exclusive upgrade is only available to guests who selected Wi-Fi with Norwegian's Free At Sea Offer. "Upgrade to Unlimited Premium Wi-Fi (with Streaming)" I wonder if that is considered the same as the unlimited basic plan in terms of what you can do online? Or if they consider it the same as the streaming plan?ĭoes anyone know if I upgrade my free at sea 250 mins to the basic unlimited plan in advance of getting on the ship and then when I get on if I find out it’s not going to work for me and I need the streaming plan can I then just pay the small additional difference to upgrade to the streaming plan then? I had a decent experience with meetings by sticking to voice, avoid video and screen sharing, using webmail, and closing / avoiding apps that replicate or use data in the background before meetings.
If he needs to simultaneously work on laptop while on a meeting (video/voice call), he'll need to to set up his laptop with all necessary software. Only one device at a time may be connected at any time (unless you upgrade even further). It's an added $199 for a 7 day cruise ($17 per day). After you book go to NCL.com, access your account and Vacation Summary, and upgrade to the "Unlimited Premium Wi-Fi (with Streaming)". If you book a cabin with the Free At Sea promotion, it includes 250 minutes of the basic internet package. I recommend the "Unlimited Premium Wi-Fi ( with Streaming)" if he needs to make voice or video calls like Zoom/Webex, VOIP, Facetime/Whatsapp/Duo, etc. Which package do we need, the most expensive?
My husband is going to have to work while we are cruising.
