Crazycombine64 Posted October 14, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2016 What's a better deal: internet package pre-cruise purchase with the 30% discount offer or get it onboard with C&A discount? I'm Emerald member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyster Posted October 15, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2016 same for diamond member too? I'm booked on a 9 night cruise next year and I see it would cost me $11.99 a day/$107.1. It says 30% off. I can't tell if that is the regular price OR if that's the 30% off price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-purchase for you too.....I pre-purchased and could have easily cancelled once onboard if it would have been a better deal...it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyster Posted October 15, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 15, 2016 good point...ok, I'll do that. I have nothing to lose and it's refundable. I wasn't sure if the diamond discount might be better, but I'm now remembering it was 24 hours free which isn't much on a 9 night cruise. Thank you!

The longer the cruise, the less impact your C&A discount will have vs a 30% discount on the whole package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Dancer Posted October 15, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) I just checked my cart in my cruise planner, and non stream dropped by a $ making it $8.99 per day/one device. Streaming is $11.99 per day one device. Even though the price dropped, it still says 30% off. :confused: Edited October 15, 2016 by Ocean Dancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fletch1027 Posted October 15, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 15, 2016 What's a better deal: internet package pre-cruise purchase with the 30% discount offer or get it onboard with C&A discount? I'm Emerald member. Do both. My TA suggested that I pre-purchase it then after we get onboard go to the cust. svc. desk and have them apply the C&A discount to what you paid. I haven't tried it on past cruises but I am this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uksimonusa Posted October 15, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Does anyone know what the current D+ offer is on a three night cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted October 15, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Does anyone know what the current D+ offer is on a three night cruise? All internet coupons for C&A members are the same regardless of length of cruise, so it's two 24hr periods of Internet. If you are travelling with another D+ your internet is free for the cruise as you would have 4 days worth of coupons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbabug Posted October 15, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 15, 2016 For my FOS Dec 30th sailing, the 30% off sale was around perhaps a month ago. I mistakenly selected the 4 device package x 4 adults. And could not delete it from my cart. Yesterday when I logged in, the item is "no longer available online" :( From past experience, can anyone share if the discounted 4 device package will return later? I am bummed that I did not get this done earlier. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movierunner Posted October 15, 2016 #15 Share Posted October 15, 2016 OK, we are in Canada & see the 30% off. So it says $29.95 surf & stream for 2 devices. Thinking back to when we first booked the cruise thought that was about what we saw price wise anyways!! Called to day & was told yes the $29.95 Canadian was with 30% off, so guess will book it, but was told keep an eye on the internet price & if you see go down call & they will change our price to the lower one BUT you have to call.

I'm in Canada too and I see that same package for CAD$29.25 per day with 30% off. Maybe currency exchange fluctuation?. I continue to see the 30% off limited time offer since I booked our cruise in April. Not sure if I should purchase it now or wait (our cruise is on Dec 23). Also, do you have any idea of what is RCL exchange rate for US$-CAD$ now? On my last cruise I got a tip and purchased an onboard credit directly with RCL because their exchange at the time was 1 US$ = 1.1 CAD$, when the bank rate was CAD$ 1.32. I will try to do the same this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are travelling with another D+ your internet is free for the cruise as you would have 4 days worth of coupons. We were on the Oct. 2nd sailing of the Allure. I prepurchased the internet package for one device. My husband used our Diamond Plus credit for the second device. He didn't get around to using one until there were only 3 days left in the cruise. At that point, the Diamond Plus package credit of $40.00 covered the remaining THREE days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to do the same this time. As far as the OBC is concerned it is now 1.4 through Royal. Cheaper at the bank. That was too good a despal to last. The Internet at $29.95 CDN is with the 30% off. You are better off purchasing it ahead of time as it will be more on board.

Rare fletch1027 Posted October 15, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 15, 2016 They won't. It's one or the other. Many have tried; all have failed. Oh well. No biggie. I already pre-paid for the 30% off. The $5 or whatever the gold discount is probably isn't worth the wait in the cust svc line anyway when I'm on vacation! :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinlady1947 Posted October 15, 2016 #21 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Exactly. The longer the cruise, the less impact your C&A discount will have vs a 30% discount on the whole package. True....a 12 night on Grandeur was less expensive booking with the 30% than the D+ voucher would have been on board. But, I am going to use the D+ voucher for another device for the 48 hrs.

It says 30% off. I can't tell if that is the regular price OR if that's the 30% off price. That is the discounted price, which dropped some more recently. The D on board discount has been reported at $20. The on board Stream price recently has been $17.99. So for one device stream, you are better off buying ahead one a cruise longer than 4 days.

RCI dropped the price on Surf by 10 cents/day and Stream by 60 cents/day. Might be a temporary thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted October 15, 2016 #25 Share Posted October 15, 2016 so it's two 24hr periods of Internet. or $40 off a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
