Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses her significant difficulties with the internet connectivity while sailing on the Celebrity Apex. Although she praises the ship's beauty, the staff, and the high quality of the entertainment, she expresses extreme frustration regarding the slow Wi-Fi. As someone who must work remotely, including video editing and managing a high volume of emails, she finds the connection to be nearly unusable. She notes that the internet performance is particularly poor when the ship is in port, which is the opposite of what she expected. The creator explains that the connectivity issues prevent her from completing essential tasks like rendering videos or participating in online courses. She mentions that even representatives from Celebrity Cruise Lines have expressed complaints about the speed. Ultimately, she concludes that the experience is incredibly frustrating because the high cost of the internet does not match the poor service provided, making it difficult to balance work and vacation.

Creator's Key Takeaways

the internet is absolutely atrocious and i mean atrocious to the point where when we pull into a port it can take the other day jenny and i were working on emails and in about four and a half hours we were able to open about eight emails and respond to them

i went on the sky princess that was not bad it was great uh the internet was really fast was able to get a lot of the work done

it's amazing to me because normally when you pull into a cruise port you would expect this is when your internet's gonna get better right it's gonna get better but in our case so far it's gotten even worse

i'm looking at the celebrity beyond now in europe and i'm going man i hope they've changed their wi-fi system for that ship because if they haven't it's going to be a rough 10 days in the mediterranean

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you have to work on a cruise ship, research the internet quality beforehand.
βœ“Consider staying in port longer to use better internet if needed.
