sugarsnap1981 Posted August 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hello! It's been 10 years since my husband and I cruised with NCL. We are taking our first child free vacation (leaving 4yr old with Grandma)! I'm wondering if the WiFi is strong/fast enough to support short, 5-10 min, voice or video calls. Does anyone have experience using the WiFi for this use case and can you provide feedback on your experience? We have the free 250 min package but are considering the upgrade to unlimited WiFi so that we can remain connected all the time just in case of emergency.

esm54687 Posted August 4, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I can confirm WhatsApp worked flawlessly. Just make sure family and friends also have the app installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
