moki'smommy Posted June 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2016 If I purchase an internet package in advance, I can get some "free" minutes included. I've read posts saying that if you purchase on day 1 on board it is the same as if you'd purchased in advance. Can anyone verify whether this is accurate or not?

Rare Steelers0854 Posted June 26, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I checked the patter from a recent cruise on the Royal. It says if you buy an Internet package on embarkation day you get up to 40 minutes added for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted June 26, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2016 You get twice as many bonus minutes by purchasing the package prior to the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted June 26, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Best deal on bonus minutes is before your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted June 26, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Got it! Thanks, gang. And as long as I do it at least 3 days before embarkation, I'm good--right? Edited June 26, 2016 by moki'smommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nhsaltshaker Posted June 27, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Being Platinum, I'm waiting until I board the ship. My 7 day cruise gets me 150 free minutes. https://book.princess.com/captaincircle/membershipBenefits.page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum Posted June 27, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 27, 2016 On our April Royal TA we received our 250 free minutes and option to purchase additional 200 at $40. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted June 27, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I like getting it done in advance. Less to do once I board the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you first login once on board you will get a very good offer to purchase additional minutes. If you think you will need more than the complementary Platinum minutes do it then. You can't get that offer even 5 minutes later and purchasing more minutes later will be much more expensive.

Our first platinum cruise is coming up, and that's quite a bargain for the extra minutes! That may be enough to do a LIVE as we go around Cape Horn! Woohooo! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sailed from BA to Valparaiso and back on the Star in 2010 and it was a fantastic cruise, despite the Chilean Earthquake!
