bobnjeff Posted September 4, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2016 What benefits do we receive for Internet as Diamond? We have been sailing mostly with Celebrity but now have five future cruises booked on Royal. Any other info on Diamond benefits would greatly be appreciated.

Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted September 4, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2016 You get one 24 hr internet access for one device or $29 off a package. We used mine and DH D benefit to get internet on 4 days our last cruise. 1pm to 1pm twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You each receive one free continuous 24-hour period of unlimited internet for one device, or $20 off a package. EDIT: I see above the discount mentioned was $29. This seems to be a moving target, so may vary by ship, itinerary, phase of moon, etc. Edited September 4, 2016 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobnjeff Posted September 4, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted September 4, 2016 So you each get 24 hours? Is the $29 credit per person? Can they be combined? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobnjeff Posted September 4, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Any idea what the Internet packages cost. I see $12 something per day available on line is that true onboard? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 4, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2016 So you each get 24 hours? Is the $29 credit per person? Can they be combined? Discounts cannot be combined on the purchase of a single package. I've seen prices onboard listed at $13 per day for surf and $18 per day for stream. Check your Cruise Planner for pre-cruise discounts. If you purchase pre-cruise, you don't get any D discount on that purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted September 4, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I agree with Bob that internet fees are all over the place. You can not combine the amount to buy a package--or not on our last cruise. The $12 fee is usually for pre-cruise purchase and must be for the whole cruise. The $29 fee was if you buy one day at a time. However, on the next to the last day they offered a 2-day for one day price on the internet [$29] and I was able to use DH benefit for that. [always get internet or last day to check in with my kids.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobnjeff Posted September 4, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Yeah it is 30% off online. Just trying to figure if it is best to take that or use our diamond benefits and pay the higher price. Oh...too much math! Time for a vacation!

Haribofan Posted September 4, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Isn't it 24 hours free per person per week ? I'm sure we got 48 hours each on our last 14 night cruise from.southampton ! So 4 days free in total or money off a package . Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobnjeff Posted September 4, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Oh....!!! That would be nice 24 hours per week? All of my cruises are 10-14 nights. Can anyone confirm that? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted September 4, 2016 #13 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Our last cruise was 9 days. It was not per week. [i have never seen that] 48 hrs is the D+ benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshirt Posted September 4, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 4, 2016 It is definitely not per week. We still only got one 24 hour period on a 14 day cruise. Also, it is not a flat $29 discount if you get the unlimited, it is the equivalent of whatever the ship charges for a 24 hour period. On Liberty in June, it was $19 for a 24 hour period.

woodyren Posted September 5, 2016 #18 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) The D discount (usually $29) usually gets you a day if you want to not pay any extra OR can be taken off "whatever" the package price is at the time you purchase it. We try to save one of your discounts an use it with two days left as there is almost always a deal for the last two days. We share the login and start our one day after lunch so effectively get some internet use over for example day 3, day 4 with our 1st coupon then day 6, day 7 with our 2nd coupon which combined with the 2 days to go deal which lasts until we disembark on day 8. I think you can take this deal up after midnight on day 6. We vary this around port days if we know there is wifi and if we have plans to be somewhere to use it.

rucruisn2 Posted September 5, 2016 #20 Share Posted September 5, 2016 On a cruise we usually don't go online. Were on vacation. But now I'm wondering if I don't, how do I check in for our flight the next day? Can we do this is in the diamond lounge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot get free internet in the lounge, but the Diamond Concierge may be able to check-in for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
