Those who do not like to go on cruises often point out the lack of wi-fi when out at sea as one of the reasons why they prefer to travel some other way. Well, you will not have that issue with Quantum of the Seas. That is because you can easily access the Wi-Fi while onboard.
A constellation of satelltites provide the ship with Wi-Fi. It may not be much of a surprise, but you do have to pay in order to use social media or watch Netflix or YouTube.
