What's the difference between Surf and Surf + Stream Wi-Fi?
Royal Caribbean typically sells VOOM in tiers, with the big split being browse-friendly Surf versus Surf + Stream. Surf is for messages, email, and light browsing when you mostly want to check in, not binge. Surf + Stream adds the bandwidth for video calls, YouTube, and other streaming hobbies. If your vacation plan includes uploading sea-day reels in real time, buy up. If your plan is 'I'll read the news and reply to Mom,' Surf may be enough.
