I disagree. Read the press from RCCL about upgrading to Starlink. They sell it as being superior to Voom Surf and Stream. Thousands of people enjoyed fast speeds and now many people are complaining. We worked prior to Starlink and it was better than Starlink is now. You seem so quick to side with Royal. Work or just vacation, $223/ week for internet is not cheap and needs to deliver an adequate service. I don’t need to know what provider Marriott or Hyatt uses. I just know it works 99.9% of the time. That can’t be said about RCCL internet.

It all just really sucks. We have been working from the cruise ships and it has been awesome. Now we are looking at cancelling in April and May because we can’t take the chance that the internet doesn’t work. We barely squeaked by in February. Do you see this problem resolving by September? I know nobody really knows but RCCL is going to have to do something? Go back to the previous system or stop selling Starlink as something it’s not. I hope they get something figured out because they are going to lose the cruisers who cruise monthly because they can work from the ship.

Could the throttling and wifi issues have anything to do with RCCL adopting Zscalers Zero Trust at the beginning of March? I am not an IT person but the addition and the throttling seem to coincide. Any thoughts?

Any word yet if Starlink is active on Explorer now that dry dock is over? Upgraded cabins? Thx
