navybaby1113 Posted July 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Does anyone know whether I would need the Value or Premium internet package to access the apps for Ring doorbells/cameras and the Nest thermostat? Or I guess whether the internet packages would you allow you to access those at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted July 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Start with the lowest level, if it doesn't work, you'll only be charged the prorated difference when you change plans. DH has had to change levels to do some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted July 10, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2017 the lowest level will definitely not work, it's a wifi video feed, I have to do work to allow me to take a B2B the highest level is very slow, especially at high use periods. When running "whatsmyspeed" the best I got was 3 Mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted July 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I agree that the Social plan will almost certainly not work. It's very limited. The Premium plan is the only one that mentions accessing "all" websites and apps, including "some" streaming video services. From Carnival: Premium ($25 USD per day)* – Promises the fastest possible connection and includes access to all websites and apps, including some streaming video services. You can try the middle tier Value plan first just to see if you get lucky, but my guess is it'll take the Premium. Even then, there's no guarantee.

Brad1972 Posted July 11, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Do you know the rate for the whole cruise instead of daily - I read you could prepay but not sure how to do that. Depends on how many days your cruise is. A 7 day for premium is about $119ish. To prepay or see the price you need to log into your Carnival cruise manager account and from there scroll down some and you'll see internet plans.

Brad1972 Posted July 11, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Ok, just looked up on my cruise manager, if you pre purchase internet then prices are, social $4.00 a day, value plan $10.25 a day and premium is $14.88 a day. Just times that by how many days your cruise is will be your today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas on board, you can purchase one on a daily basis. If you can't find the link in your cruise manager, just log on and go into the FunShops.

Cruisefanatic71 Posted July 11, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I am sailing on the Paradise in September to Cuba. I wanted to buy the internet package to be able to live stream on Facebook when we are sailing into Havana for friends and family to see. Which plan would be best and would I be able to stream on the Lido deck with that plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckinSC Posted July 11, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'd like to piggy back on this thread please. Does anyone know if the Value Plan is likely to allow me to access my local newspaper and to download its Internet edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get much better results not at peak usage time, the bandwidth get used up very fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
