Didn’t realize Virgin blocks certain sites entirely unless you buy the “Work from Sea” package.
Someone onboard needed to access their school SharePoint for a group project. Upgraded to Premium wifi, still wouldn’t load. After an hour of troubleshooting, found out SharePoint is blocked unless you pay $60 per day for the higher tier.
That’s the frustrating part. It’s not just slower speeds, it’s actual site restrictions. I get limiting video calls on basic plans, but blocking common work and school platforms feels rough, especially without making it super clear upfront.
If you’re planning to work remotely from a sailing, definitely check what’s actually accessible before you board.
