It was a great deal when it was $ 60 so guess my upcoming 8 day cruise will be about $ 96. Yuck.

Thanks for the heads up, one less thing to be a "surprise" . That is a bummer for sure, but unfortunately the value plan is a min must for me. I just have to have email from home daily for peace of mind. So, it is good to know in advance. Thanks for the info.

any ideas on what the prices could be the 11 day vista cruises?

It looks like they have done away with the entire cruise discount, so it would be the daily rate x 11.

Has service or speed increased?

 

I know a couple of years ago you were lucky to get 250kbps download speed.

Last month (on another cruise line) I got 3Mbps download speed.

Wonder if they will update their website. Copied from Carnival.com FAQs.

 

We offer three different types of plans that can be purchased for either a 24 hour period or for the entire length of the cruise at a discount - price for voyage plans vary by length of cruise:

 

Social ($5 USD per day)

Value ($16 USD per day)

Premium ($25 USD per day)

[RecoveryDude]

can anyone verify if they have discontinued the "per cruise" discount? In trying to find price for 8 day cruise ...

Its faster than it used to be but still on the slow side

Just off of Elation today. I paid $35 for the value plan for 4 days.

OP received a discount. They had the Value Plan for a 6 night cruise and paid $72.

 

16 x 6 = 96

 

If a discount weren't given, then the OP would have paid $96 instead of $72.

[coevan]

wouldn't mind paying more if the speed was better

Is it just to keep in touch? If so, would the social plan be ok? I kept in touch using private message on Facebook. If the person you are messaging happens to be on Facebook at the same time, you could actually have a conversation with them.

[poobears]

They are still offering the discount it's maybe just not as much as it use to be or I wonder if maybe they base it on the # of packages that have sold at the beginning of the cruise. So if there's low interest you see the bigger discounts, when lots of packages are selling and they are expecting a high pull on their system they don't discount as much. Supply and demand type pricing to keep the load on the system down a little. Could explain the difference in prices.

 

Guess I'll find out in Oct, I plan to buy a 5 day social to send DH fb messages back home. Won't really need access to anything else. Then we'll download the hub to all the phones for the us to keep in touch on the ship.

[Karnyval]

Looks to me like all that changed was the cap. There are still discounts.

[dorisdvu]

If I purchase the social plan, can others use my device and log into their facebook, messenger etc., accounts?

Yes they can. They can even use it on their device, but you have to log out of yours first.
