watsonbeau Posted March 19, 2022 #28 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thank you Hattie - didn’t see that. $80 for myself and husband as platinum is adequate - think Cunard need to update their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vix2000 Posted March 19, 2022 #30 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Just signed up for 24 hours on premium. Apparently its the first 500mb on faster connection, then a slower connection for the duration of the 24 hours. We can only get a connection in the room on my macbook, not the iphones or ipad. We have done 3pm to 3pm to effectively give us 2 days use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted March 19, 2022 #31 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Here are some details for the new Wi-Fi plans I found posted on another site. Some of this is new to this forum. New Cunard guest internet plans ESSENTIAL Web browsing + Email + Music streaming + Social media, text and images (no video) 24-hours: $20 Full duration of voyage: $15 per day PREMIUM Everything from the ESSENTIAL package + video streaming + up to 3 x faster connection 24-hours: $30 Full duration of voyage: $20 per day Cunard World Club internet credit (per guest) Gold tier: $45 Platinum tier: $80 Diamond tier: $135 How to select one of our new Guest internet plans: Go to the Wi-Fi settings on your device and select the Cunard Guest Wi-Fi option from the list of available networks. Once you are connected, open your internet browser and type internet.cunard.com into the address bar. From there, you'll need to enter a couple of details, including a memorable username and a 4-digit PIN. Then, simply choose your preferred Wi-Fi plan and begin browsing. Any credit you have available will be automatically applied when charges appear in your on board account. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vix2000 Posted March 19, 2022 #32 Share Posted March 19, 2022 does it tell you about the 500mb limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, no, what I've found posted elsewhere doesn't mention the 500mb limit. There is some introductory material I didn't include in what I posted above. Here are a couple excerpts from that additional material which might be of some general interest. "... we have significantly upgraded our satellite internet service making our on board Wi-Fi faster and better value." "The value of the complimentary internet for each CWC tier remains the same as it did previously." That second statement is literally true since the price of the old 120 minute plan (Gold tier) was $45, the price of the old 240 minute plan (Platinum tier) was $80, and the price of the old 480 minute plan (Diamond tier) was $135. Those are the same dollar amounts users will be credited now to purchase the new plans based on their CWC tiers. However, as we've been discussing here, the intrinsic "value" of the new CWC internet credits compared to the old system will depend on individual usage patterns.

As we are both diamond we will log in on the OH laptop on sea days alternatively and use each other's allowance since there appears to be 24 hours use for each daily purchase. On port days our phones and data allowance will be ultilised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare david,Mississauga Posted March 20, 2022 #36 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Are the computers available in the library as they were before the pandemic?

Rare Se1lad Posted March 22, 2022 #40 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I normally bring an iPad which my and friend share for checking emails etc . As we are both gold and sharing the same cabin, would we be allowed to buy 1 package for the entire cruise and apply both gold credits to it - so for a 7 night cruise this would total $105, less 2 x $45 gold credits, meaning we only had to pay $15? If someone onboard could ask that would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LadyL1 Posted March 26, 2022 #46 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Rakkor I am glad you have wi-if in your new room, which is more than we have most of the time!😖 So sorry to hear your news yesterday, as was hoping to meet you, and trust your recovery to full health is swift.

Rare rakkor Posted March 26, 2022 Author #47 Share Posted March 26, 2022 "Have wifi" is a bit of a stretch, it's very intermittent and keeps dropping out - it was much better in our old room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camgirl Posted March 26, 2022 #48 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I have the premium internet on my phone, currently with hubby tethered via Bluetooth. It's working ok, but I don't think it is any better than the old WiFi. Still keeps dropping out all the time. And pretty slow. I don't think I would be paying for premium except that I hadn't used any of my diamond allowance until today (we had used hubby's first). Doesn't seem any different to the essential level. Not very impressed so far, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
