Is cruise ship WiFi fast enough for a sysadmin?

Right now, my family and I are sailing on Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas, and because I'm always watching over GMass, we couldn't have gone on this trip if it weren't for the ship's Voom Internet offering. Royal Caribbean's WiFi offering claims to be the "fastest Internet at sea".

So, is it really the fastest?

Royal Caribbean claims it's 6x faster than any other Internet access offering on the sea, which is believable, but as a sysadmin, I'm only happy if it's fast enough for me to manage my servers and deploy emergency bug fixes.
