Sigyn Posted February 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I purchased the internet package for my upcoming cruise. I opted for one device per person on the cruise. I did this because on our recent NCL cruise, we could get one device and the person could switch between them by logging out of their phone, and logging into their laptop. Does it work that way on Royal Caribbean? Or do you have to get two devices per person in order for both people to use their phones and laptops, even if they log out of one and into the other?

akcruz Posted February 26, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2023 You can also get one 2 device package and share between 2 people, or however many people get that number, which is often times cheaper than 1 per person. DH and I get 1 package on his account and share. Same applies just logout of a device to use another. If someone forgets to logout it let's you know the max is reached and do you want to logout of one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 27, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2023 We buy one 2 device pkg. for the two of us. I just wish the internet was included with GS's and above fleetwide. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted February 27, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2023 It's going to be cheaper for one person to get a two-device package than for two people to each buy a 1-device package, and the result is the same. Any two devices can be connected at any one time. You can log off one device and log into another. Person A purchases a 2-device package. On board, Person A activates their package, setting a UserName and a PIN code (4 digits). Then Person A tells Person B what the UserName and PIN code are. Each person can log in whatever device they want -- phone, tablet, computer, etc. -- and log off and log in with a different device at any time. Any two devices can be connected at once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellunderwater Posted February 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Specifically...you don't have to log out before the other person logs in. Logging in automatically logs out other users on that user id/password. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellunderwater Posted February 27, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Now that i think about it, can't say I've ever had a multi device plan. Didn't realize. Thanks for clarifying. Learn new things all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dna1990 Posted February 27, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Now that access is not time-based, there is less a need to logout, etc. Regardless of how many devices you purchase, when the "next" device tries to join and no more plans available - it simply asks if you wish to "disconnect" a previous device. Works pretty well. But sometimes it can still help to force the issue by browsing to LOGIN.COM or LOGOUT.COM. Once we had to "forget the WiFi network" and come all the way back in fresh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare roseoftx Posted February 27, 2023 #14 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) It does that now, perhaps to avoid accidently logging someone else out. The reason to logout of one account is to ensure which one you replace. If you get a 2 (or more plan) and you want to switch from phone to tablet, if it picks one, it might pick your wife's/kid's phone versus yours (as an example). With 1 device if you are sharing with multiple people, this also is a confirmation that someone is logged and will be kicked off.

You did not need to log off on original device. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigyn Posted February 28, 2023 Author #16 Share Posted February 28, 2023 How much is it for two devices for one person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always cheaper to go one person and multiple devices, rather than multiple people and 1 device. When you go 1 person and 2 devices, you will share a logon and pin, but 2 people can both be logged on at same time….for instance, if 1 person is $18.99, and the second device may be $14.99. When you do 2 people with their own device, then you pay $18.99 for each person, but they have separate logon’s and pins. You can see price difference by adding to cart in planner…just don’t checkout. I know, clear as mud, huh?

Gotta be careful with absolutes - RCI has had times when they forgot to put the multiple device packages on sale so that in fact two single device packages was cheaper than the 2 two device package - very rare, but it could happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigyn Posted March 1, 2023 Author #19 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I cancelled the one device pp plan for two people and rebooked it as one plan, two devices and saved $50. Thanks for the tip! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logging in automatically logs out other users on that user id/password. Just to clarify: if you are referring to a one-device plan, you have to click on "switch device" when using a different device. Doesn't matter how many people share the plan: it's only one at a time, and you have to switch devices during the login process for the "new" device. I do this all the time between my phone and Surface Pro I travel with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted March 3, 2023 #23 Share Posted March 3, 2023 You can also use the logged in device as a hotspot, but the second (or more) devices that use the hotspot will have slower response time. The person "broadcasting" the hotspot will have a unique network name shown in their wifi settings. The second device logs into that network. I tried this with my phone and Surface Pro, and found the second device had a lag time for responses, loading web sites, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
