Phi257 Posted April 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hi, It seems I cant find this information on Carnival or the boards. What is the Wifi Speeds for the premium Package? Is it above 5 MBPS? I am looking specifically for speeds above 5 MBPS. If you do know the speeds please let me know. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KmomChicago Posted April 3, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2019 My husband is asleep but I will ask him if he remembers. We typically buy the premium package for one device but I don't really pay attention to the details, that's what I pay him for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7786W Flyer Posted April 3, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I can't give you specific speeds as I never measured it while onboard. However, I can only say that the speed is similar to the old dial-up days...very slow. Having said that, do bear in mind that my last cruise on the Sensation was over a year ago, so things may have been upgraded since I was onboard.

Rare KmomChicago Posted April 3, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Husband is up now. We were also onboard over a year ago, but he says it was "probably" around 5 MBPS. He also said the website should tell you what they claim to provide for the package price. I think he thought it was adequate given the fact that we were on open water miles from anywhere. I'm sorry if that's not specific enough or a helpful answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chui101 Posted April 3, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) If it's like most other ships with Ku band services, the whole ship will have about a 20Mbps downlink for everyone to share. Actual speeds will vary by atmospheric conditions, location, how many other ships are sharing the satellite's spot beam at the time, etc. Edited April 3, 2019 by chui101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted April 3, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 3, 2019 rarely have I seen speeds above 5Mbps. It's usually in the Kbps range and maybe 1.5 - 2 Mbps during good times. Also the latency ping is around 600 - 800mS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prestige809 Posted April 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2019 From experience on older ships the internet is slow no matter what plan you purchase and even slower on certain parts of the ships it only get decent when we get to port and ppl are off the ship , On newer ships like the vista/horizon the internet is very fast. You can even video chat. Or watch streaming videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted April 7, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I tried running a whatsmyspeed test and never got above 1Mb even with the fastest. The newer ships I believe are running at 5Mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
