tangled1010 Posted February 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hey all, i just checked my upcoming cruise on the Anthem in April and found this as an option: Sip and Stream Deluxe beverage and Voom Package $49.00 Was paying $8.99 pp for Voom and $48.00pp per day for Deluxe beverage package. I did notice in the fine print is says 14.5 % gratuity and not 18% would be added. not sure why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice in the fine print is says 14.5 % gratuity and not 18% would be added. not sure why I just found it too. I had purchased Deluxe for $519.39 CAD. The new package was $514.03 $5 less and free internet! I am on the March 5 Anthem sailing. The T&Cs say Offer applies to select Caribbean and Australia sailings departing Jan. 1 – June 30, 2017.

NolaFireLI Posted February 22, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2017 THANK YOU!!! I just added this for our upcoming Harmony Cruise in May... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1337 Posted February 22, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2017 This is a great deal. I'd previously purchased during a sale at a great discount 1 device internet & 2 drink packages, and 2 of the sip & stream packages were only $8.44 CAD more total and it seems to get us one device each instead of 1 to share.

missaud Posted February 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks for letting us know about the sale. I cancelled my voom, and purchased the special. Wanted the drink package anyway:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevnick0814 Posted February 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The 'Sip & Stream' drink & internet package is now available for our 3/5/17 Allure cruise. Including gratuity, it will be around $56/day. Checking to see if it's worth the hassle to change. Edit: just did the math & it saves my wife & I $40 each. 80 bucks? Well worth the trouble. We are officially Sip & Streamers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganurse007 Posted February 23, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Ok, so do you know if I purchase the sip & stream, if I can log off and let my son (will be in separate room) log on and use the internet?? Or would we have to be sharing the same room for this to work?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this , that makes sense. I was thinking maybe they will ask me to pay the other 3.5% once onboard lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKerstinJ Posted February 23, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Do I need to do anything other than turn off roaming to use the ship's Internet? Will the ship's Internet work in port or just at sea? Can voice calls or video calls be made using WhatsApp or FaceTime? Thanks for the advice.

Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app It works as long as you are on the ship, whether you are at sea or in port. I used it to FaceTime my son on Freedom in November. Worked great. We did not try a voice call but I would expect the results to be the same or better than video. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studman Posted February 23, 2017 #19 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks for the heads up. They ran the same thing on Black Friday and the wife and I was able to get it but not the other 4 in our group, they didn't act fast enough. Just text them, hope they get it this time.
