Internet packages when you board

[Daisymae14]

If someone could please help me out! I was about to order Internet package for cruise leaving Monday on Navigator. My son just decided he wanted internet. I thought cut off was 24hrs, I guess it is 48 hrs. So does anyone know if you have to buy per person or can you still get 3 device packages? Currently what is price once on board  - surf and stream?

Thank you!

Thank you! I guess We will have to do a 4 package, it will only be 3 of us.

I assume you know that packages can be shared.

Yes, I do.. I just know those boys are snapchat "ers" and have these "streaks" with their friends for few years, so they are not going to let them go and will want to share as much as possible , being this is their first cruise.  I guess We will decide when we get on board. 

Thanks again!

You may rethink that because that's going to be expensive.  By my calculations, purchasing a 4-device plan onboard is going to run you $475.72  or $531.72 depending on which prices they use.

Only one needs to purchase, and you can "share"...but only one person can be "online" at a time.

Make them pay for it. And if only the 2 of them are going to use it, that price is per device, just get the 2 device plan. Take access for yourself if you want to use the internet.

I was just going by what was shared to me at current on board pricing of $18.99 for 4 devices? Was that not correct?  It said $20.99 for 2.  Cheaper then what pre board price was.

Onboard pricing is worded slightly different than cruise planner.  It would be $18.99 per device per day ($18.99x4) x (the amount of days)

Oh , ok . Like I have said before.  I have never bought internet. I have always just used my Verizon plan, made the necessity call home or text. Saved pictures to upload when I got home.  So maybe this may be a purchase the boys do on their own. I was hoping Voom Surf would be enough for snapchat,  but I guess if they take a 15 sec video to send to friends they need stream.

Just getting the Surf instead of Surf & Stream will be similar to being on a dial-up modem and make using Snapchat frustrating and probably unusable.  As suggested, if they want it that bad then make them pay for it.  They can always wait until they arrive to a port where your service provider has service or connect to Wifi at a local establishment

They can send the video with Surf, it will just take longer to send.

Thank you everyone! I have explained this to the boys and they are prepared to pay for stream!
