Guest zafra63 Posted February 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Anybody can help me with this? I am asking this for a cruise friend, who is Gold, so no free internet access. I checked the website and the price is shown in US$, converted back into AU$, they are the same as pre- purchased packet. So why pre- order and pay?? Anybody has experience with this. We are Elite, so that problem never came up for us. Love to hear your opinion please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exchange rate is pretty low at the moment but reasonable with Princess pre purchase OBC. You say you're Elite. So do you always use 500 minutes free time? Not many people people do which is why it's free. It's really easy to share your minutes with other family or friends on the same cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zafra63 Posted February 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2017 To answer your question, yes I always use up my free internet and share my husband's at times with friends. This time our friends are not on the same cruise. Bonus internet minutes were included in the price for both. I just might have to wait until I board and make enquiries at the Internet cafe. I was hoping somebody had dealt with this before. Thanks for responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherylandtk Posted February 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I know when we have looked in the past, the pre-purchase plan always had more bonus minutes than the onboard plan. Cannot say if this applies to Aussie based cruises, but it did in South America last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted February 24, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I can't speak for Australian cruises but typically you get twice the bonus minutes if you purchase in advance compared to purchasing on board.

caribill Posted February 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I can't speak for Australian cruises but typically you get twice the bonus minutes if you purchase in advance compared to purchasing on board. And the onboard bonus minutes are only if you purchase the package during the first two days on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
