In 2026, you can watch Netflix on a Royal Caribbean cruise, but it requires the purchase of their high-speed "Voom Surf + Stream" internet package. Royal Caribbean has equipped nearly its entire fleet with Starlink satellite internet, which provides the low-latency and high-bandwidth connection necessary for smooth 4K or HD video streaming. Once you have purchased and logged into the Voom service on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone, you can use the Netflix app or website as you would at home. However, you cannot typically "cast" Netflix from your phone to the stateroom television, as the TVs are often "locked" to the cruise line's proprietary menu. For 2026 travelers, a high-value "pro-tip" is to download your favorite shows and movies to your device before you board; even with Starlink, "dead zones" can occur in the middle of the ocean or during heavy storms, and having offline content ensures you can watch your series without burning through your daily data allowance or dealing with potential buffering during peak evening usage hours.
