Kris10May Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 I watched a YouTube video that was full of recommendations of what to pack/bring on your cruise. One thing recommended was a Portable Travel Router. I am under the impression that it will allow you to use the WiFi for multiple devices from one subscription. Anyone familiar with this? The device is only $25 on Amazon. We have purchased one Voom subscription with our drink package. Any advice would be appreciated. Quote

Kris10May Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Posted January 5, 2020 Thank you for your reply. I will be skipping the Travel Router. Quote
twangster Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 Be aware that sharing a Voom package is against the terms and conditions. Royal has been making the use of travel routers more difficult on some ships. In some cases you can spend a lot time fooling around with them to get them to work and when you finally do it's blocked after a few minutes. At some point it's not worth the effort while on a relaxing vacation. For these reasons I'm hesitant to comment very much about them. Peter2 1 Quote
Peter2 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 I had no idea you could do this but doesn't seem to be worth it. Quote

I believe that one Voom package can be shared by multiple devices but can be used by one device at a time. Is that what you meant, Twangster? kbowen0119 1 Quote

Please understand that @twangster Is talking about sharing a ONE device package with several devices at the same time. Quote

twangster Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 Sorry for the confusion, the topic was travel routers and a single Voom subscription so within the context of using a travel router to share a Voom plan with multiple devices, that is not allowed. Using one Voom plan with multiple devices when using them one at a time is allowed. Connecting a phone then disconnecting one phone and connecting on a different phone is allowed. Phone, tablet, laptop, etc - no problem as long as it's one at a time. Quote
marti314 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 One thing to also note is that a lot of the new phones actually have two WIFI devices that you can connect to wifi and also create a hotspot with the same phone. If you read the T&C's you are not actually connecting multiple devices to the VOOM wifi so this is a grey area. Kris10May 1 Quote
