I'm onboard Regatta now. WiFi bandwidth is spotty at best. There have been a couple times when I have been able to stream low quality audio, but those are the exceptions. For me, the best bandwidth options were between 11PM - 7 AM. I'm impressed that others were able to successfully use FaceTime and Skype.

The ship's network definitely does not support VPN.

Oceania's Fee Internet package does not include the use of the Connect@Sea app. I noticed that my login credentials for the browser-based Connect@Sea did not work on the Connect@Sea app. The person working in the Computer Lab informed me that there is a separate charge of $49/user even for passengers with the Free Internet package. Bummer!

Thank you for your replies, comments and suggestions.

I'm aware that these topics were discussed in separate threads several months ago, but I was hoping to get updated information. The information posted on various sites concerning VOIP was been contradictory.

VOIP:

Has anyone recently tried to use Wireless Dialing, Skype, Facetime, WhatsApp, etc. to try to make a voice call and/or to send/receive a (data-based) text message over the WiFi network of an Oceania ship to an off-ship phone? If so, what was their experience?

Connect@Sea fees:

Has anyone recently used Connect@Sea to call or send/receive a text message to a phone located off the ship. If so, what were the associated fees charged by Oceania? I called Oceania today the agent wasn't able to find any information concerning fees.

Thank you in advance for your replies.
