Breakaway has Starlink so speed is some of the best I’ve had at sea. But you can’t cast your phone to the tv. The TVs are old. The HDMI slots are removed for security purposes

No you can't cast from your phone; the TVs aren't smart TVs.

I am certain you can not stream. What I did on several NCL cruises I take my iPad with the Netflix app prime app and movies anywhere app I have over 500 movies in the cloud that I own I download what I think I want to watch before I leave on the cruise. And watch them on the ship.

You generally can’t stream to the TV, and even if you get the WiFi with streaming the bandwidth is often too low to stream movies with any reliability.

Hi just download any shows or podcasts you like before you leave home. Then you can watch them on your phone or tablet on the ship.

Bring an HDMI cord to connect your laptop to the TV, and just screen-mirror.Pre-download your Netflix shows at home before your trip!Even if you pay for the premium WiFi, remember you'll be out to sea in the middle of nowhere, so streaming speeds will be inconsistent at best. Just download at home ahead of time so you will be ready to go and not deal with lagging or slow WiFi onboard.

Answered by BonitaAndBob on March 17, 2023

why would you want to watch TV? enjoy your surroundings live outside of the room.

Answered by gmababy on March 18, 2023

The highest level will only work for streaming. Like others have said it’s best to download but in all honesty you won’t have lots of time to watch TV. You cannot cast your phone to the TV either. If you decide to purchase make sure you call to upgrade the WiFi they already give as a free at sea perk. Do not just buy. Call to upgrade. It’s much cheaper.
