akh007 Posted May 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2023 This will be my first cruise on Celebrity and 2 of us will be staying in an Edge Villa. Can anyone confirm for me how many devices we will be able to have simultaneously connected to the internet with the package included with our room? Thank you!

In an ordinary suite it is the premium wifi for 1 device for each person in the suite. For upper suites, such as an Edge Villa, it's premium on upto 4 devices per guest 😎 Edited May 29, 2023 by groryjm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagoffee Posted May 29, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2023 The terms can be confusing. Assuming that your purchased your suite and did not win in via a move up bid, you get one premium internet package per person, you each get one log in that can be used on as many device as you wish. It is only one device per person at a time. With an upper level suite, each multi device premium package includes a log in that can be used on four devices at the same time.

Guest 4-2-N-8 Posted May 29, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Good decision to book an EV. It's a great stateroom and direct access to Retreat areas is really nice. As Jagoffee noted, YMMV depending upon if you bought it outright (which is how I do it) or you did the move up process (no experience with that). If you bought it outright, then ... Our experience was such that our butler took the time with us to ensure we had all our devices connected once he escorted us to our room from the terminal. He had notes received via our shoreside requests, confirmed all our dining reservations and spa reservations. He even confirmed specific champagnes requested for each night of the cruise. You may find grief on this forum about seemingly many aspects of this ship. We found no issues.* *I'm merely stating a perspective and opinion. This in no way minimizes anyone else's experience. I'm an eternal optimist and find the good in whatever I do. IMO, the Retreat is a home run. Celebrity has done a superb job. Enjoy it!

Regardless of how booked or won the unlimited Internet for upto 4 devices per person is not a perk but part of an upper suite. As is the unlimited dining, unlimited luandry, premium drinks package, bar setup etc So even if you won the suite as a move up these things are your's. Enjoy the upper shite life😎 Edited May 29, 2023 by groryjm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akh007 Posted May 30, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Thank you for all the information, everyone! We booked the room and did not bid or get it via any upgrade. I've sailed in Star class on Royal Caribbean with a "Genie", is the butler the same concept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahasamatman Posted May 30, 2023 #8 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I think they've changed the terms. We got four devices per person in a Sky Suite on our last two cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All four devices logged in at the same time with your Sky Suite booking? if this is a new Celebrity enhancement for all suites, I wonder why the enhancement is not being promoted.

We got an upgrade to a RS and initially I only had 2 devices. The Retreat Host has to go in and change something and it then gave me all 4 devices.

I've sailed in Star class on Royal Caribbean with a "Genie", is the butler the same concept? That's a good question for which I am curious, inversely. I do know that Celebrity support (butler, room attendant, shoreside concierge) were all superb in my experience. My S.O. had quite a few spa reservations and all dining reservations were handled accurately and with ease. I think you'll enjoy it. You'll be on a part of the ship with very little foot traffic. If you like privacy, it's great. Never been on RCL. However, I've got three Star Class staterooms booked on a future RCL cruise, for which I am taking my family (including two young kids who are interested in the particular ship). How was the service, support and embarkation/debarkation you received? TY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare groryjm Posted May 30, 2023 #12 Share Posted May 30, 2023 We were in an RS on Reflection last week and we got 4 devices each. My daugther and her girlfriend had a corner aft SS and they only had 1 device each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFontaine Posted May 31, 2023 #15 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I don't think the genie and the butler are the same. The genie seemed empowered to make big things happen, including spending money (delivering real gifts to the suite or arranging a private meet and greet with a headliner). I've been in Celebrity upper level suites mostly for the past 10 years and I've never seen that. But the EV is great, and I don't know of another suite at sea on any line that is better.
