VOOM 1-device pkg

Our cruise is about 3 weeks away and ordinarily we like to "disconnect" while on vacation but now, because our parents are having health problems and work reasons, we need to have internet. I checked on the RCCL website and it lists One Device VOOM package for $15.99/day. It says this is 20% off regular price. My question is should I purchase this now or would it be cheaper to do so on the ship?

The price you see now is for the faster Surf & Stream. On the ship, it will be that same price for the slower Surf Only.

So are you saying on the ship it's only surf and no streaming? Do you feel the $15.99 is a decent price? Not sure if this price includes tax or not.

No, I'm saying on the ship, the latest prices I've see are $16 for Surf Only and $20 for Surf & Stream. The price you are seeing is a typical pre-cruise promo price.

No tax on VOOM packages.

OK Understood. Looks like I will grab this now and be done with it.

Maybe gratuity before long.

Right, need to pay those IT folks' salary somehow.:rolleyes:

Reading this thread prompted me to purchase the Voom Surf and Stream package for my upcoming cruise. It was advertised at $13.99 per day. The total came to $111.93. Without doing the math, I paid the bill. My mistake. I just realized that $13.99 X 7 days is $97.93. Where does the extra $14 come in? Am I paying for 8 days? If that's the case, the total be should be $111.92. Anyone know the answer?

Like other RCI web site glitches, very likely the initial web site page showed the wrong price - the going price recently has been $15.99/day.

My cruise planner for next month has $13.99 day

^ but, does that hold all the way to the last page when trying to book it?

I just purchased the Voom last night at $13.99 per day and my credit card was only charged $97.93.

I just checked my Cruise Planner again and it is now $15.99. It was definitely $13.99 when I started the transaction, it has been that price for a few weeks now. Unfortunately, the receipt they sent me only shows the total, not per day price.

Prices for internet change based on the number of cruise days. PS - we were on Anthem and the non stream worked great when I was doing facetime and Skype.

Just so folks don't get confused - the price per day doesn't change, the overall price of the package changes depending on the number of days..

How does RC determine the price per day? It's showing as $19.99/day for 1 device for my Jan. 20 sailing.

Are you asking for the logic behind RC sales? I think it involves a dartboard.

lol!!!

That doesn't seem right as there's always been some sort of discount pre cruise - that's the on board price of Stream.

Apparently dart board is right!!

I checked pricing again today to see if anything changed. If I log in as myself, the price is $19.99 per day for 1 device. If I log in as my husband (same booking #, same cruise, same cabin, same D+ level), the price is $15.99 per day.

Is that discrimination? ;p

That is so odd.

That's creepy. It's amazing such a huge corporation has such a rudimentary problematic website. It leaves a bad impression and is one of the reasons I use a TA instead of going to RCCL directly.

I wait till onboard to book Internet. When I was Gold, I got 10% discount. In Dec. 2017, I had reached Platinum, and the discount was 15%. Since the most basic rate (and the 15% discount) don’t seem to be available pre-cruise, it makes more sense to do it onboard. I believe we did it from the tv in our room, and we waited till day 2 in order to save a few bucks.

This makes sense if all you want is the Surf package.
