Alaska Cruise - Internet Connectivity

[FinnFogg]

I am thinking about taking my 3 kids on a last minute Alaska Disney cruise out of Vancouver (where we live). I will definitely need to work for most of the trip, which I am totally ok with, but I am concerned about internet connectivity, wifi, etc. Cost is not a concern, but it looks like I may be limited to 1000MB? I understand you can’t upgrade packages, but can you buy another if you blow through that? Has anyone that has cruised lately on Disney comment on the connectivity? Incl Teams meetings, Zoom, wifi calling?

We are on the Wonder this morning pulling into Juneau. I’m actually getting good LTE service without the Disney Internet. Yesterday at Icy strait point, I had LTE but I usually only had one or two bars. The first two days at sea/at the glacier, I stayed off the Internet except for a few megabytes here and there and I’ll say that it was pretty terrible. I expect to have okay Internet tomorrow again in Ketchikan and then be out of commission again on the last day.

You'd be lucky to get reliable Voice.

Have you been to Skagway yet? Would be interested in whether you got good LTE service there! Thanks!
