Dancing Shoes Posted June 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2022 If I change to a cruise only rate, is there any free wi-fi? May want to make ship reservations for dinner, etc. We are not elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakegirl Posted June 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2022 There is no free Wi-Fi however, you can use the app without paying for any Wi-Fi. You can connect the app and make dinner reservations and check schedules and so forth for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Shoes Posted June 4, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I have the app. Does it then use my carrier's data plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted June 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 4, 2022 No, it uses the ship system. You can also text others on it. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcrusn Posted June 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 4, 2022 If you have the app you should be able to put your device in airplane mode and connect to the app. You can make reservations using the app without wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted June 4, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 4, 2022 They do have access to internet for free for the app and intranet to Celebrity Website. I believe it also works for the app messaging but that's about all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not want your phone using your carrier’s data plan. Roaming rates on cruise ships are very expensive. As others have noted, you can use the Celebrity app on WiFi for free. It wouldn’t even connect if using your cellular plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. B. Posted June 12, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 12, 2022 The WiFi in the Always Included package is really Basic. the Premium WiFi is better but remember you are on a Moving Ship trying to stay Linked to a Moving Satellite so don’t expect the kind of service you have at home. also when a Lot of other guests are logged on the service speed May degrade.

upwarduk Posted June 12, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 12, 2022 How does the 90 free minutes (250 for Elite +) work, if you have free AI Wi-Fi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can create a separate account for your Elite mins, then just remember to log out when done and then go back to the basic account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB_NJ Posted June 12, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Not sure about the other ships however Summit wifi with AI is pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted June 12, 2022 #13 Share Posted June 12, 2022 WiFi on Summit is dependent on both the position of the ship - above 45S or N latitude or many areas in the ocean - and how many people are using it. With lots on it gets very slow on all ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtravel Posted June 14, 2022 #15 Share Posted June 14, 2022 All In package that includes unlimited WiFi was terrible. It is a scam. You cannot depend on using it. Most of the time, it didn’t work. If it did, it was very slow and often froze. Strangely, we are elite plus and get some free WiFi minutes as a loyalty perk. When the All In WiFi failed, we switched to elite plus minutes and more often could connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
