RCI launches high speed internet at sea

Royal Caribbean International has announced VOOM, its exclusive, high-speed internet service and the fastest internet at sea, is now available fleetwide on its 24 innovative ships.

VOOM allows guests holidaying with the line to stay connected and to stream their favourite music, movies and TV shows while sailing to popular destinations around the world.

The line's president and CEO, Michael Bayley, said: ?VOOM is revolutionising the onboard experience for our guests as well as for our crew and it is truly a game-changer for the industry. Everything our guests and crew can do online at home, they will now be able to do from onboard all of our ships around the world.?

Guests can choose from two packages: Surf, which provides guests the opportunity to surf the web, stay in touch via email, and share their holiday photos on social media.

Family packages of five devices or more are available, with prices from $8.99 (approximately ?6.11) per device, per day.
