scdreamer Posted October 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We will be on a 23-day voyage on Regatta, in a PH cabin. I saw that Oceania is upping the free wi fi in various cabin levels, but I'm not sure what the current offer is. We are not taking part in any O-Life promotions. Does anyone know what the wifi in the Caribbean is like? Slow? Spotty? Perfect? (Lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classiccruiser777 Posted October 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Does anyone know what the wifi in the Caribbean is like? Slow? Spotty? Perfect? (Lol) Slower than when on land, I don't suggest streaming video, but adequate for staying in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scdreamer Posted October 23, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Do we get 500 free minutes of wifi, as we are in a PH category for 23 days? I found that info on an independent cruise website, but do not see it on Oceania's website under "My Account." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) It is unclear if that deal is still in effect on O website https://www.oceaniacruises.com/ships/regatta/suites-staterooms/penthouse-suite/ I would check with Oceania or your TA to be sure If you do get the 500 min then once you use that up you will pay for anything over either by the minute or get a package We found it fine for most places... sometimes in port it was spotty There is usually a cheap or free WiFi place in most ports if you need to save your minutes Be sure to log off when you are done or the minutes keep on ticking away ;) I usually log on then open a new tab in the browser so I can leave the window open to log off from Found this in the T & C's but so many of them it is hard to say if this applies to your sailing or not FREE INTERNET *Standard terms apply, in addition: Free Internet is one per stateroom and applies to Concierge Level Staterooms and higher.

I found that info on an independent cruise website, but do not see it on Oceania's website under "My Account." Check your Oceania Invoice. Your internet benefit would be on page 3 under promotional amenities. They never list this on your account on the web site.

Sny Posted October 23, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We're going to be in a PH on Riviera in November. Part of our deal was Free Internet. You may also have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scdreamer Posted October 23, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the info - called our TA, and found out we don't get the internet promotion. Oh well, we can always follow the crew members to the best signal portside wherever we happen to be. :cool: Edited October 23, 2016 by scdreamer typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the free deal we did not use it much in 3 weeks of cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulchili Posted October 24, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Unless you bought this cruise quite some time ago, they all now have O Life (at least in US sales) which includes one unlimited internet account. Can you not opt for "cruise only" fare without O Life or do they all still include free internet even without O Life?

Didn't buy it that long ago, but our TA had a very deeply discounted fare, which is "bare bones." No promotional options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troban Posted October 24, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Am on Regatta now in a Concierge. Deck 7 We are moving so it cuts in and out. So far both ports we have been in have had free wifi and you will find crew in the tents with their electronics.

globevest Posted October 24, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Can you not opt for "cruise only" fare without O Life or do they all still include free internet even without O Life? We just priced a "cruise only fare" and could not have internet without taking 'O' life. So we settled for OBC, internet and no air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitraveler Posted October 24, 2016 #15 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Crew NEVER gets free Internet. I noted at "sailor of the month" presentations they got 15 minutes of Internet as part of the award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noted at "sailor of the month" presentations they got 15 minutes of Internet as part of the award. Not sure how that came up. What I meant was that the crew always knows the best places in port (off the ship) to find free and reliable wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
