Their publicity says that VPNs don't work!

Are you still getting very high speeds (in which case they probably haven't locked it down yet) or do you think reality is better than expectations?

I know what their publicity is stating, that was the reason to ask the questions in the first place. 

Now that I am on board I was able to test what is possible. 

Wireguard VPN is working fine. 

Internet speed is 0.4 MBit Down and 0.2 MBit Upload speed. Not on Starlink. 

Answering my own question. 

Currently on the Quest, 

TeamViewer is working and Anydesk working as well. 

Wireguard VPN is also working, will test VNC Connect and Chrome Remote Desk in the comming days. 

I'm on the Azamara Quest in November and need to do some work with Teamviewer, AnyDesk, VNC Connect or Remote Desktop. One of them would be enogh. 😉

Unfortunately, the forum search yielded no hits and a Google search only found the following information:

"The system does not support Skype, VOIP, Remote Access and other high bandwidth programs."  I don't know how old this information is.
Some people write here in the forum that streaming is possible, so probably not all high-bandwidth programs are blocked.

Thank you.

We just had a price drop for our November 9th Cruise, i wrote an email to HAL and have been offerd a complimentary upgrade to Signature Suite or a future cruise credit.

It is easy, just ask.

Markus

Thank you to everyone for the numerous answers.

I will give it a try.

We had a Signature Suite on Westerdem 2 years ago and we loved it, but this was Verandah Deck.

Will report after the cruise.

Funny thing - my friend just today booked this exact cabin! He picked it because he likes to be one deck from the Lido buffet and seaview pool area plus it is not far from the aft stairway and elevators. Since it is under the carpeted area of the buffet, noise should not be a problem (if you were under one of the pool areas it might be a different story).

I hope your friend is not on the November 9th cruise, we might get a problem then :D

......... the European open door policy has completely failed, so more will happen sooner than later...

This open door policy has absolutely nothing to to with the recent Terorist attacks, all of the Terorist were French or Belgian citizens.

There many 'NO' zones in cities all over Europe where police cannot go in like in Paris, Marseille, Lyon etc..

Have you been there, or have you only heard from someone who knows someone that has heard........... These are rumors, nothing else.

There are some parts in some big Cities all over Europe where you should be more careful.

Miami, New York, Los Angeles, same problem and these Cities are not in Europe, as far as i know.

Hi everyone,

i might need some help from the experienced cruisers here.

Due to a massiv price drop, i have been offered an upgrade from Balcony to Signature Suite (SY). As the SY Suites are beneath the Lido Deck, i am a bit worried about the noise level in the cabin at night.

Has anyone any experience with cabins on the Navigation deck?

So far i have blocked cabin 8095, this is starboard side pretty much at the end of the Lido Restaurant.

Ship is the Ms Zuiderdam.

Thank you.
