WIFI Experiences, Worth it?

[danny8826]

 

We will be on the MSC World Europa so we bought the Browse and Stream package.  

We are not sure if all MSC Cruises have the same speed, but what is your experience like with their WIFI package?

Is it good enough to watch a YouTube video without lag?

 

 

Thank you,

Danny

Browse -- without Stream -- was good enough for us to view a 30 minute YouTube with no interruptions for buffering. Lots of variables can affect it at any given time though, such as volume of users and what they are browsing/streaming.

Thank you.  

My first time of using MSC.  Royal Caribbean was very fast and Princess was very slow.

I just had the browse package and found it quite reliable.  EM

Do you watch any YouTube or Netflix?

I bought the Brose and Stream because I know I will do YouTube and using WhatsApp for regular call, not video call.

Not sure if what I bought is too much.

I don’t do YouTube unless someone embeds a link, and I don’t have any streaming services.  EM

The Browse was fine for me to make voice calls over wifi multiple times when I was on the Meraviglia back in April. I am afraid I didn't view much video content, so can't advise you on that.

Thank you.  I guess I will try it and see what happen.

That doesn't sound good.
