heathriel Posted December 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2021 So, I've searched every which way I can, and I just can't find the answer to this one: I have Princess Plus with the wifi (1 device) included for each person for my upcoming 10-day sailing. Both of us in the cabin are Platinum members, and at least one of us will want to upgrade to the 4 device option (probably both of us, actually) as we'll *both* be using our laptop, phone and smart watches at the same time all cruise. (We work remotely, so this isn't technically a vacation, just a change of scenery.) So --- Does anyone have any idea what the cost is for this? Will they charge the full $99 fee as if we didn't already have an internet package? Or is there a pro-rated price for the upgrade, and then they give a 50% discount on that? Or is the discount (and upgrade) moot because we have Princess Plus? Help me, Obi Wan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted December 23, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Definitely not an expert. But would using one device as a hot spot work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathriel Posted December 23, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I've tried in the past to use a router and it doesn't work to share princess wifi -- and on Mac at least, you can only use the hotspot settings to share Cell service, not Wifi, so that's a no-go.

skynight Posted December 23, 2021 #4 Share Posted December 23, 2021 If you pre buy one 4 device package you should be able to operate 6 devices at once. I believe the platinum discount can apply if purchased on board on boarding day. Can someone confirm? That way you can discuss the best options.

heathriel Posted December 23, 2021 Author #5 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Right, but because I already have wifi purchased (included with Princess Plus), I don't know what the cost is for the upgrade. I don't even see the option when I login since it says I have wifi already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coveguy4 Posted December 23, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 23, 2021 On my upcoming 14 day cruise the upgrade is an additional 140.00 for 4 devices. I do not know if any additional discount is given in OBC once aboard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadn13 Posted December 23, 2021 #7 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) On my 10 day (before any discount) Edited December 23, 2021 by Jadn13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smf81 Posted December 24, 2021 #8 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I see this in the MedallionClass app for a 7 day cruise next summer: So it's $10/day to upgrade. I assume I'd get the Platinum/Elite discount as an onboard credit unless they fix the app to reflect the discount before then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you will have seen by now, several have posted the upcharge from 1-device to 4-devices is $10/day. You will be offered that option when you first attempt to connect to MedallionNet on board. You will get 50% off the rate due to your CC status. If one of you upgrades, you will have a total of 5 devices can be active at once. You share your credentials with each other. You can login to a new device and system will note if you are maxed out and ask you which of the other live devices you want disconnected. I always order a 4-device plan as it costs same as two single-device plans (we don't do the PLUS). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close, but only 5 devices with one 4-device plan and one single-device plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coo359a2 Posted December 25, 2021 #12 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Currently on the Enchanted Princess 10 day cruise. Daughter, Elite with the Princess Plus package, decided to upgrade to the 4 device plan. She was charged an additional $50 to do this for this cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
