SeaTheW0rld Posted February 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Get an exclusive 20% discount on your Satellite Internet packages by booking before you cruise. Click here for more info. Do they charge tax and tip? The prices showing for pre-booking sound like what people are paying when booking on-board. Mine says Premium, 10g, $149.50. Standard, 5g $95.90.

kevinrobedm Posted February 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2019 On board you will also pay the 15% service charge. They charge that for anything you buy on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the premium if internet (and related streaming of news, etc.) is important for you. Seaside had really good WIFI when we B2B last year; expect the same 3/2/19 for two more weeks.

I assume they will have BBC or Skynews or some other int'l news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my 7-day it says 133$ for UNLIMITED internet, so clearly a difference, maybe because of the duration of the cruise? Premium 5gb is 84$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium 5gb is 84$ Could be. But since it is by the GB, the length of the cruise shouldn't matter. Sometimes I think they make these numbers up out of thin air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnelasagne Posted February 24, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2019 They are keeping us busy trying to figure out what is what, thats for sure😂 I was thinking that if you are on a 20-day or something they maybe don’t want to sell unlimited, and rather hoping that some has to buy another package...?

I may not get it at all. Tmobile gives me free data and text in all my ports. It's not a "must have". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnelasagne Posted February 24, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Yea, I was thinking in general. I got the same in Europe, my deal in Norway works all the same in all EU, even tho we are not members of EU. But I still need some sort of package for the time on sea. I know, I’m an inernet junkie, cant live without it😑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinrobedm Posted February 24, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 24, 2019 They must pick and choose which cruises actually get the unlimited. They probably make more on the shorter cruises so they don't offer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentina84 Posted February 25, 2019 #14 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'm on the 7 night Armonia (cuba, mexico, belize) next month, for 2 gb at $52. And the unlimited is $134 for the entire cruise. There is also a 4 gb, which I forgot how much that was for. Also, very interestingly, for the past 3 weeks, I only saw the $134 unlimited option, and as of the last 3 days, it shows additional options added, the 2 gb and 4. I'm SO happy I didn't get the unlimited package. I googled how much of internet does the average person use in a month, and it says about 2 gb... not sure how accurate this is but this is widely told on the internet.
