    Dear Alicia, thank you for your feedback. Connection on the river, especially in the border regions, can be tricky because of the different networks. That is why the WIFI is not suitable for streaming services. We hope to offer improved connectivity in the future to make your cruise even more comfortable. Thank you for cruising with A-ROSA, we are pleased to read that you were satisfied with the service, cabins and the culinary highlights! Sincerely, A-ROSA team
