Just got off the Star Pride a few days ago (Spanish Serenade, Barcelona to Lisbon). We did use onboard credit to get the $120 internet package. It was definitely shareable, although sometimes would not connect well. 2 of us shared it and we were able to check and send email, although if an email (either sent or received) contained pictures, it often would not come up or send. If we had not had so much OBC, we probably would not have gotten it, however, it was useful for what we needed it for. Due to the time difference, it was handy tto have to use in the evening and night when it was actually daytime at home.

Some of the ports we stopped in had wifi right there where we disembarked. It was often VERY difficult to find in port at a restaurant, and we did NOT see any internet cafes anywhere.

Same here! We leave on that cruise this week!

Problem is if you book online you have to pay in real money. Booking on board you can use OBC. Unless you found a way around that.

Right, we need to use the OBC. Normally we would not get the internet package, but we have so much OBC to use! But still hoping to share it between 2 of us.

Thanks! Yes, I will mostly unplug! It is good to know we can share 1 logon.

Two weeks until our upcoming cruise on the Star Pride! Just a few questions for those who have purchased internet packages on any Windstar cruise recently. I have a package thru Verizon for use off the ship, but given the time differences, internet on-board is much better timing.

1. Can a package purchased on-board (have a ton of onboard credit to use) be shared between more than 1 device? Reading on the website, it says 1 device, however, does this just mean 1 device signed on at a time? 2 of us would like to share an unlimited package, or at the very least I would like the option of using either my phone or tablet.

2. How is the internet for using Facebook messenger, posting pictures to Facebook or by email, and possibly playing an on-lline game like Yahtzee (Facebook to communicate instead of texting, Yahtzee late at night when everyone else is asleep and I am wide awake!).

Thank you so much!

I tried to login on MY Windstar today and I couldn't. Tried three times. I wanted to see the shore excursions for Seville which are omitted from the website for some reason. I am so frustrated right now. I may call them and complain!

I am also trying to look at shore excursions for Seville! We have a LOT of onboard credit due to a price drop and the price match guarantee, can't use it for gratuities, can't drink THAT much wine, so will be doing some shore excursions. If you get any info on Seville, let me know!
