jrzebird Posted September 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Is Unlimited Internet Free on the Regal Princess for Platinum & Elite? So I have been told by many who have sailed. I’ll know for sure on 11/1 when I board. Maureen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted September 3, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2018 From other posts on here, it sounds like it has been free on the Regal. However, that will end soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGuy25 Posted September 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2018 We board the Regal on Saturday for its 14-day transatlantic and have been told that it will be free unlimited for platinum and elite as a “make good” for the lack of Ocean Medallion. Not sure if that will change after the ship arrives in New York City on September 22nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted September 3, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2018 how many rooms are now using the medallions on the Regal - still 110 or so ? As I understand, the CB is now adding ***** cabins by 'floors', so will the Regal be far behind after it reaches PE?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier-Cruiser Posted September 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2018 So I have been told by many who have sailed. I’ll know for sure on 11/1 when I board. Maureen. I’d be interested to find out if you get it on your voyage. We will be onboard 2 weeks after you. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weedpindle Posted September 3, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 3, 2018 On the Regal now, free for Elite at least. No one is onboard working on the Medallion system. There is a major glitch somewhere preventing further expansion of the system for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the crack ***** staff on CB has solved the 'major glitch' since they are releasing floors of cabins now...:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTNestr Posted September 3, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted September 3, 2018 If I pre-purchase the “Unlimited Internet Package” prior to boarding and later find unlimited internet is free as part of the ***** Rollout what happens with money I used to pre-purchase unlimited internet?

MTNestr Posted September 3, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted September 3, 2018 So I have been told by many who have sailed. I’ll know for sure on 11/1 when I board. Maureen. I will be joining you on the 11/1 Regal and will also be on the 10/20 & 10/27 Regal for a b2b2b. I did receive an email from Princess on 8/21 stating that we would be getting an ***** for the 10/20 Cruise. The letter stated that Princess would not send the ***** prior but we will pick it up during check-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you in the current section of cabins that currently have *****? I think that was all decks, with cabin numbers somewhere between 220ish and 330ish.

Jezabel2924 Posted September 4, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 4, 2018 We got off of the Regal last week and the internet was free for Elite and Platinum with very good connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTNestr Posted September 4, 2018 Author #17 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hoping it’s still free in October & November? I may pre-purchase the Unlimted Plan just to be sure I can get it at a reasonable price if it isn’t free. Long Live FREE Internet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may pre-purchase the Unlimted Plan just to be sure I can get it at a reasonable price if it isn’t free. Long Live FREE Internet! I’ve decided not to waste my money to buy it now. I’m Elite so if it costs me, which I highly doubt, it will be a lot less than the old way of minutes and lousy or no connections. Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyinpa Posted September 4, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 4, 2018 my end of october shows no internet to buy at all so i'm assuming to all its free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted September 4, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 4, 2018 or else it could be that there will be no internet available at all !!! ;p;p:cool: or else, yeah.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is not free for elite/platinium, then you will get the regular amount of minutes. On one ship that has the enhanced Internet, someone posted that when you first sign on you are offered the option to pay for an unlimited package, supposedly at a discount. But no one has posted how that discounted rate compares to what non elite/platinum users pay either pre-cruise or on board. However, if you purchase it pre-cruise, I do not think you can get your money back if it is free or less expensive when you are on the ship.

I have gotten refunds for items purchased precruise. the pre cruise purchase of unlimited internet on Regal is $68 right now for 10 days; I paid a lot more than that in minutes even with my free minutes due to having to do some work while on board. If I get onboard and it's free or discounted, I will just take my card to the desk and ask for a refund. $68 is almost free compared to past cruises!

Travlin grrl Posted September 24, 2018 #24 Share Posted September 24, 2018 It was free for platinum and elite in April on the Ruby. However I just use it for checking in , FB etc. I try to tune out as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdngrl Posted September 24, 2018 #25 Share Posted September 24, 2018 i disembarked the regal yesterday and there was unlimited wifi for platinum and elite for one device at at time. i wrote my blog on my ipad but my photos were on my android phone. i kept having to switch back and forth. after about three days i think i confused the system because it then worked on both simultaneously. fyi anyone i saw with a medallion around their neck said it was barely working to open their doors.
