Rare Cruise Raider Posted January 7, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Does anyone know if there a further discount onboard for passengers with elite status for the multi device package (up to 4 devices)? It is listed at $14.99 per day ... is it cheaper if I wait until we are onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF-1 Posted January 7, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Cruise Raider, I have read on other threads that if you have elite status; what ever your allotted minutes are for your elite category is applied to the $14.99 rate. So you may get a rate of lets say $12.99 per day or even less depending on your minutes. So in your case; wait till you are on ship to get the best rate. I have no status with Princess; so I will buy before I board; they offer a grate rate in my personalizer. Have a great day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the price on our 14-day cruise available to purchase onboard using OBC in lieu of our free 300 minutes...we kept our minutes. The 4-device plan was the same price as 2 individual plans.

Can you please advise the length of your cruise? I thought I have seen you on older threads from 2019 where there was detailed discussion of single-device and 4-device packages.

Yes, I knew and posted about the single device unlimited package and how it was better to wait until we were onboard. I just wasn't sure if there was a discount on the multi device package. My sailing is 5 days and there is no package price available on my personalizer for either package ... just a daily rate ($8.99 per day single device or $14.99 per day for multi device). According to the graph above, I would do better by purchasing one multi device package at $14.99 per day than get the discounted package above. For my 5 day sailing, it would come out to $75 total but the graph shows the discounted price of $82.50. I know it's just around $7 less but, looks like it is more if I wait. Check my math ... could that be right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I have very little OBC on this sailing ... not even enough to cover my gratuities. That's ok, I got a great deal on my cabin, just bare bones fare and nothing else.

The set price I have may or may not be adjusted for shorter cruises. However, I personally might go ahead and book and then check the on board price on Day 1. If anything in your favor on board they just might give you a credit. Small dollars anyway. It just seems odd that the Platinum/Elite price would be more. I wonder if on board they price the 4-device at $15/day, less 25%. Would be interesting to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted January 8, 2020 #14 Share Posted January 8, 2020 in the BSE, Princess is selling the wifi at $10 pp pd bundled - unlimited one device per person ( $ 40 for all 3, $ 30 for BEST2DG ) if anything , we will just wait until onboard, then most likely use our minutes - 150 each for our little 5 day cruise - or maybe, upgrade a single device to unlimited at $ 8.99 per day ( current online pricing pre-cruise ) as that would be the max we would use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I will buy a package .. it may just be the single device as my DH was just going to take it if the price was good. I am still hoping they give the 25% off the daily rate of $15. That would be the best ... maybe even two drinks. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could ... that would be great! I'd pay the $40 a day pp for all three ... not even giving it a second thought! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailaway2joy Posted January 9, 2020 #20 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I have a question regarding the four devices plan. Can all four be signed on at the same time? My DH and I cruise on the Sky this weekend. I was going to buy two single device plans but if a four device is the same price as two single plans we could keep our phones signed in also. Is there just one common password for all four? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailaway2joy Posted January 9, 2020 #23 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I think we will try the 4 device plan. Seems like more Bang for our OBCs Usually our phones are in the safe but this will be our first Medallion cruise. Might be easier to have my phone with me vs the iPad. We could use the one device at a time, but I get the evil raised eyebrow and sigh when I ask if he is off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, we all had our phones connected all the time. When I wanted to use my PC, the system advised me I needed to disconnect something and was presented with all four connected devices and I could choose the one to be disconnected. Of course, I always picked one of my friends...... just kidding!! Edited January 9, 2020 by steelers36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
