WiFi on Vision OTS?

Hi all. I'm traveling on the Vision for the first time. We typically cruise on larger ships (Oasis, Freedom, Explorer classes) and I was impressed with Wifi on Oasis class. We decided to do the Vision this time because we liked the itinerary, but I have a job that requires me to send/receive emails and iMessage (I know, I know - but it pays the bills). Anywho- how is the wifi aboard the Vision? Thanks :)

I've read that it is pretty poor and not as fast as Oasis. We went on the Oasis of the Seas last September and I was impressed with the wifi. I'm going on Vision in April and I'm thinking of skipping wifi and using the Internet cafe.

WiFi is very slow on Vision, but given enough time, you should be able to send/receive emails. No kind of video streaming or VPN capability.

Thanks, that's disappointing to hear. I'll be on her in March and I'll post back to let you know how it was.

Like 15-20 minutes to get logged in:eek:!

Sometimes event that amount of time was not enough for us!:rolleyes:

Actually, something must have happened between the srping TA and the fall TA because it was a lot worse than before!:confused:

We found that the service was very bad at the beginning of the Fall TA. We would get disconnected all time, and many times, not even get to the point where we could successfully log in to our email. By the end of the Fall TA, the disconnections were rare, though speed was still very slow.

Agree, we had a hard time on the Vision. Sometimes we couldn't even get a login screen. Data flows very slow! If you need to open up an attachment or something, you might not be able to do it.

Just off Vision last week. Wifi was very slow but so were the desktop computer terminals. I would have hated to try to download anything.

Hello all!

Any recent news about Vision OTS wi-fi? Planning to book a Dubai cruise for next year, but as I need to work a couple of hours a day (just emails, correspondence etc) I am worried the wi-fi system is too bad on this specific ship.

Thanks!

For basic e-mail the crappy WiFi is good enough. Who knows, maybe RCI will find a way to install real Voom by then.

Last month, it was as slow as ever.

Was on Vision last week and paid for higher price package for 2 days at the end of the cruise. I have to say i found it great!. Skype calls to my son with no problems what so ever, facebook ect no problem!.

We're you able to do any video streaming?

I was able to watch clips on facebook, i didn't do much else, the main reason i got it was for skype. I was told the basic package wouldnt let me do that. I think i paid $32 for 2 days. I got 10% discount for being a gold member.

Thanks for the info. Then they have made significant improvements in the internet since our Vision cruise this past March.

Found and pulled up this old thread. Last post was May of 2016. Going on the Vision next May. Wondering if anyone could provide a current status concerning Vision WiFi. Up to Oasis Voom standards yet (as if)? The last post on this thread was around 7 months ago. Thanks.

Hi there,

We were on Vision in the Med in October, right before Harmony TA. No, it has not been upgraded, but unless you are streaming or doing FaceTime, basic functions work just fine there.

I'm on Vision in Feb, and they are advertising Voom surf and stream in the Planner.

They do on Liberty of the Seas as well, in fact, you can't buy a package with just Surf. Just because they advertise it, doesn't mean they have it.

Our stops on Vision were Dubrovnik, Ephesus, Santorini, and Katakolon. I had them refund my money and I used our 4 free days of Diamond Plus wifi instead. I could not FaceTime nor Periscope. The same is true on Liberty from Galveston, Western Caribbean.

You can on the ship, even though it's more expensive than pre-purchased Stream.

As I said, there's no point. Doesn't work. We just do our 4 free days and leave it at that. Have been on Liberty three times since her drydock earlier this year.
