I am onboard the Koningsdam and I worked for 4 hours today. I have the premium internet package and I was able to connect my corporate VPN and use Teams with camera on and screen sharing with no issues. I have also used the PIA VPN service on my personal devices with no issues. Let me know if you have any questions.
100%. Post upgrade I’ve been on KDam for 18 days and Nieuw Statendam for 7. Konignsdam internet was solid, I was able to Zoom, Teams no problem. NS was just ok, serviceable.
If you don’t mind me asking, which corporate VPN product? How solid was your WiFi connection? Could you work from your room?
The ships with Starlink have great service. On Rotterdam you can see the Starlink dishes where the Lido pool cover opens.
What region are you in? My understanding is that the quality of internet service depends a lot of where you are, as well as the ship’s infrastructure
I’m also on Koningsdam right now. I haven’t been able to connect my McAfee VPN. Also, I learned today that I can’t access GitHub. I’m hoping that doesn’t become an issue as it’s an occasional resource for my work.
We are using Cisco Anyconnect. I sat in Billboard Onboard. The connection was solid. I spent an hour and a half on Teams with zero issues.
I tested from my room and it worked, but your mileage may vary. It all depends on how close you are to the nearest access point.
We are in the Pacific off the coast of Mexico headed for Hawaii.
Are you connecting your internet before trying to connect your VPN?
Yes, I’m connecting first and then trying to connect the VPN. It (the VPN) will not connect.
