Courtneyn09 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Do I really need to purchase two vooms, or can two people share one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each voom subscription is usable by one person at a time. That's a good, wide-open policy. You can use it on, say, an Ipad and when you logoff, your cabinmate can log on with a totally different device. So for email and web, 2 people can coordinate their use and share. If you want to communicate with each other (Facebook Messenger, for example) in realtime or both be connected at one time for any other reason, you'd need two packages.

RBRSKI Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I concur lol. Just booked it for our sailing on the Allure 10/14! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 You can share a one device plan, but keep in mind that only one person would be able to use the internet at a time in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBRSKI Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 But if you keep an eye on prices which just went down again today, if you really need to access it at the same time $9.99 isn't bad!!! I just needed one for my daughter for homework. She promised me she would devote at least two hours a day!!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 If you decide you need it for two people (e.g., so you can communicate with each other), be sure to have just one person buy the 2-device plan, rather than each of you buying a separate 1-device plan. That saves you a bit of money, and the person who bought it is totally free to share the code they're given with their cabin-mate. It will be one code that can be used by up to two devices at once.

I thought it was only if you wanted to stream movies, music and stuff like that. If it is really faster I will change to it vs just the surf.

Matt Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Surf & Stream is unthrottled internet. Even if you don't stream movies, S&S is a much better experience because it's not being artificially slowed down. Carlos A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 I sometimes buy the wifi package on sale but as a D+ I get two free days of Surf so I have often used those free days to play with Surf on one device while using my purchased Surf and Stream on another. Surf is typically policed down to 0.5Mbps down and 0.25Mbps up. Surf and stream is typically policed down to 4Mbps down and 2 Mbps up There are some exceptions, if you get lucky. Don't count on that. Since re-inking the contract with Speedcast they have gotten very strict. All plans are rate limited. While troubleshooting an issue with the Voom specialist on Serenade she temporarily bumped me up to 8Mbps down and then 20Mbps down before returning me to the standard Surf and Stream 4Mbps down. Surf is still good enough for wifi phone calls, particularly on Freedom, Oasis and Quantum class ships. You can access Pandora on it as well to listen to music.

Thanks Twangster, that's all we really need it for and we will be on Allure. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
