jeno Posted April 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I know that I get a certain number of minutes free, but seem to remember that when I logged in the first time I could add additional minutes to that amount at a discount. It doesn’t seem possible to do that before boarding. Is that correct? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woobstr112G Posted April 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Yes, you are correct, nothing before you board. When you log onto the system, for the first time onboard, you will get a chance to purchase additional minutes at a discount. The discount has varried (for me) over the past several cruises. One thing I noted on my last cruise (Panama Canal May 2017) concerned pre purchased internet minutes. I had to have the internet manager manually enter them to my account.....:):):) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted April 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2018 You cannot buy additional minutes prior to boarding. You can only do it the first time you sign on. You are given an option to purchase one of several packages at a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynniepoo Posted April 1, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2018 If you are on an Ocean Medallion preview cruise, Elite and Platinum have unlimited internet access for one device (per person). For non-platinum/Elite, they offer a per day/per device plan that seems to be available for pre-purchase in the cruise personalizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted April 2, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 2, 2018 And the unlimited internet we had on the Regal's Ocean Medallion preview cruise in February was for one device per person at a time. You could switch back and forth between different devices as long as you signed out of one before connecting the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted April 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 2, 2018 On our 14 day cruise we got 250 free minutes and could purchase 200 additional minutes ($40) or 100 minutes ($25) when activating our minutes on the ship. These are the rates for purchasing additional minutes for cruises between 8-20 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheezedr Posted May 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Remember that if your traveling companion is also elite you will each get that number of minutes. Using Astro’s example the DW and I end up with 500 mins for a 14 day cruise. As I am a heavier user I will sometimes run out but she rarely gets near her max, so I just switch over and start using some of hers. No point in paying for extra if we have some we won’t get to. Only works of course if you agree and share passwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted May 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 1, 2018 On our last two cruises we had 500 minutes each on one and 250 minutes each on the other. We didn't use all of the minutes on either cruise. Heck, on the last cruise there wasn't any service the last two days so that saved on use of minutes right there! :eek: The closest I get to social media is these CC forums. My wife checks FB stuff but doesn't post much. We are on a cruise to enjoy the cruise, not to spend a ton of time online. I don't really even do CC when cruising. I do sometimes check subscribed threads but I don't have many of those so I mainly just get my email each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
