RebN Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 We're booked on Symphany of the Sea leaving Rome on May 25th. My planner is allowing me to select the excursions but the only option for Wi Fi is Surf and Stream. I don't want the "stream" part. On previous cruises I could select just the "surf" option for a lower cost and it's certainly available on the planner by now. Has anyone else run into this? Will that option be available after final payment date? She Sails Away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinkm Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 It is because of Starlink. Many of the ships that have moved to Starlink have only one option now - S&S. If it is not already showing, it probably won't. There are a few people who booked the Surf before the ship moved over to Starlink that are getting the higher speeds for a lower cost but that is a small minority... 14Terry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurls15 Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 We are on Oasis sailing March 12th. Same experience for us - only surf and stream. However, there are for example soda + surf combo packages available to purchase. I suspect those purchasers will get stream speed as well even though stream isn't specifically referred to. jbrinkm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any beverage package bundled with internet always got the highest speed. It seems like basic Voom is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like other said- as the ships flip to the starlink internet, there is only one option because it's a higher speed internet and will "stream" no matter what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
