D and D+ free internet minutes ?

[39august]

I am wondering if the Diamond and D+ free internet minutes introduced on June 1 can be used with your own laptop? Before this enhancement, I had considered Celebrity and had asked them if the Elite free minutes could be used with our laptop and was told yes, they could. I am hoping some recent C&A cruisers can answer this question.

yes they can.

They minutes have also inceased. D+ is now 45 mins. So if both in cabin are D+ that makes a nice 90 mins.

Do lowly Gold members get any free internet minutes? What exactly are in the coupon books for us? We've cruised 6 times, but this is only our 2nd on RCL. Now we're making it a point to look at RCL first. I aspire to be a D+!

Thanks..

Yes..but you must sign up first online in the internet cafe at a workstation..Easy to follow on-screen directions then swipe your seapass and choose the pre-paid pkg. you want..You can get all the info in a booklet at the pursers desk and they will give you a list of the WI-FI Hot Spots on the ship besides your cabin.. Remember to have any discounts or free min. available to you credited to your account once you set it up..The pursers desk will do this for you as well....

Just remember that when two people share a cabin, they each have a SeaPass card and each card has its own Folio Number. This is the number you will write on coupons when redeeming them.

 

If husband is the sole user of the internet, make sure that he fills out the coupon with his folio number so that it goes on his internet account. The internet account only shows up when you access the internet as far as minutes used. It will show up on your SeaPass account as a charge for internet use after you are done/when you purchase a package.

 

So, when you take your coupons to Guest Relations to be applied you are better off using the Folio Number of the Person using the internet the most.

The internet on Royal Caribbean is extremely slow. It took me 45 minutes to do Southwest boarding passes for two reservations! At home it only takes a minute or two.

 

Web pages took a long time to load. Then I'd get kicked off, before I was able to enter reservation number or before I could get a chance to check off names for boarding passes. There were other people trying to do their boarding passes and they also had a very difficult time getting through.

 

Luckily for me, I had coupons in our C&A book to cover the cost of the internet. But it was unfortunate that I had to waste 45 minutes online, when I could have been enjoying the ship. Next sailing, I'll have someone back home do my boarding pass.
