Is Starlink live on Grandeur yet?

[JessyCruises]

We are doing a B2B on Wonder starting next week before moving to a B2B on Grandeur 3/19.  I know Starlink is already live on Wonder but is it live yet on Grandeur? We work remotely Mon-Fri from the ships and I have been reading some not so great reviews of the wifi on Grandeur.  

 

Thanks!

Yes, it was reported enabled.

Thanks!  I tried to read through posts but apparently I did not look hard enough 🙂

This crowdsourced document (which lists Starlink and other features) is somewhat up to date:

Is Voom the name for Starlink on the ships? I'm asking because I'm looking at the crowdsourced doc and trying to assess whether Harmony has it, without starting a new thread. 🙂

How much faster is internet now on the older ships (that now have starlink)?  Any  idea?

The reported download speeds vary wildly (from the "normal" limit of 4Mbps to over 100Mbps, which likely won't last), but the performance on all will be improved by the huge gain in latency speed (down from 600ms+ as low as 50ms - the lower the better).

Thanks for that info.  We have a trip on one of the older ships later this year and I was as a bit worried if I’d be able to do any work (if needed).  I’m hoping all I need to do is handle email, but was hoping for better internet in case more is needed.  
 

Is there a thread with a list of ships using starlink or are they rolling it out on all of them now?

All of them are supposed to get it by the end of March.

This thread is resurrected by some to report progress:

Not on topic (forgive the derail) but are you thinking of starting a trip report? We are on Grandeur in May and would love to read firsthand reports.  We sailed Enchantment last Jan and fell in love with that class of ship.
