jabberwk Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 I'll be on Liberty in June and will need to stay connected for a number of reasons. The old system was impossible for zoom meetings. Is Starlink any better or should I plan to do everything asynchronously again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveling Mike Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 I was on the Navigator of the Seas in November doing Mexico and on Voyager of the Seas in September doing the Artic Circle. On both ships I had Starlink and had no issues. I was able to do Microsoft Team Calls and remote into our servers in California without an issue. The only issue we had was in my cabin on the Voyager I could not get WiFi. After a couple of days, I figured out if I leave the Cabin Door cracked a couple of inches it would let the WiFi signal through. With the door closed all the way the steel door would block the signal. On the Navigator I did not have that issue and I took meetings every day on my balcony. One Note: Alaska did not work above Juneau but that was not with Starlink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubiquitous Cruiser Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 My recent experience on Serenade with Teams was the same as Traveling Mike - though I did not enable video primarily because I didn't want to make everyone else jealous that I was on a cruise ship.

jabberwk Posted April 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 This makes me happy. I'm a teacher and I teach summer classes. I'd much rather be able to engage with my students live if I can - even if it's only a couple of times during the course of the cruise. Thanks!
