Resolved: The schedule/ship order of when Starlink will be active on the fleet exist

[jelayne]

We are currently on the  Beyond TA  in a Suite and have the Premium internet.

It was okay when we boarded and has gotten worst everyday.

Past 3 days (Lisbon, sea day, Ponta Delgada) it has been difficult to get connected at all.  If you get connected and want to switch devices there is a good chance you will lose your connection.  Talked to the folks in Future Cruises and they are having difficulty with the internet also so it isn’ t just the guest wifi.
The weather has turned and we are in some choppy water so ship is rolling quite a bit.  It will be a long 5 days crossing  if this keeps up.

Just pretend it is 2012 😁

 Reflection has been moved to 23rd December this year  - might be why the timeline disappeared as a few dates have changed already

Thank you for the information.  I'm on in early Dec.  Maybe I'll be surprised and it's added during this short dry dock.  Prepared for the worst but hoping for the best.

Kinda a bummer it was supposed to be live on Apex 11/12 and now it’s pushed to 12/3 after my cruise ends.

Amazing schedule for the Edge considering my itinerary. It completes on 12/2/2022 ... I'm on a cruise from 11/21/2022 -> 12/2/2022.

I wonder what the odds are of the cutover happening during my cruise ... I hope either way that it doesn't translate to a large outage mid-cruise.

So did the Eclipse activate starlink yet?

Curious about this myself. Anyone on it?

Any ideas when the solstice is? Did the date slip?

[NutsAboutGolf]

I've confirmed with X the Eclipse deployed Starlink on schedule.  Someone on CC said they heard they're ahead of schedule for the Edge

Jan 2nd and anyone's guess as to the schedule since X has replaced the published schedule with "coming soon".

 

They've technically already "slipped" the schedule because during their original press release they stated all ships " by the end of Q1".  It would appear 8 of 12 ships would have it by the end of Q1 which is good but not the deployment isn't as fast as advertised

Thanks!  Do you simply have insider info or is there anywhere to see this online?

We’re on Solstice with premium wifi and it’s the worst we’ve experienced in a long time.  Connect… disconnected… all day long.  Now, it’s possible this is due to it being Thanksgiving week and packed with families and kids… and since we never sail during these busy times I have nothing to compare to.

I agree. This is exciting. On the Solstice for a month in January and Reflection for 2 months starting in late March.

Here's a cool view of the Starlink constellation: https://satellitemap.space/?constellation=starlink

 

[Jim_Iain]

Wanted to report that I'm on Solstice and StarLink is Active. 

 

No fanfare except there was a card on the desk when we arrived in our room.

 

Speeds are around 5 down and 1.5 -2 Up

 

I tried making a phone call today while out walking laps so may have had issues with switching between routers but the call was choppy at times.   

 

Interne variable with some uploads of photos to CC failing 1/2 way through while other times only a second or 2.

December 3 cruise and she is active now.   I was surprised as I thought we ha just missed it.     So far  a bit underwelmed

Let us know if the speeds break double-digits

The internet was horrible

Being Zeniths, don’t you automatically have access to premium internet?
If so, those numbers are horrible in comparison to the premium speeds on the Beyond.

I wonder if the backbone wasn’t upgraded to handle the additional bandwidth, thus the slower speeds?

We will be on the Apex at the end of the month and hope that Starlink is available then.  Had no problems on the Oasis of the Seas this past August.

Was there any evidence StarLink had been activated yet?  Original timelines I saw for StarLink showed Eclipse early on the schedule.

I'm chuckling a bit -  this morning I'm having trouble breaking 2.5 down and 1.5 up.   Watching news on PC using YouTubeTV on my laptop and it is stopping to buffer every 5-6 minutes.

 

Speed at 8:00 Am 3.2 Down and 2.09 up
