daveoc Posted June 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) If you book before boarding there is a promo appeared today giving 15% off of internet packages, just go into your cruise personaliser. I'm on an Aurora 30 night in September so have gone in and cancelled my original booking and rebooked with the 15% off. I assume it's across all ships and departures but I guess you only find out if you go into personaliser. Just a thought---I wonder if they might do this for drink packages?.

We’re doing a 35-night Ventura cruise next year and so that was a good saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for alerting us to this. We’re on a 19 night cruise in October so have just booked the package which with our peninsular discount as well means a considerable saving.

doog442 Posted June 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Just booked this for our Arvia Caribbean next January..thanks for the heads up👍 A £25 saving and £100 over booking it onboard. Just for the better half mind, I'll borrow her phone if she'll let me 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Anarchy Posted June 23, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 23, 2023 We're on board Aurora in September for the 30 nighter. Saw the Internet offer on CP. Won't be doing it, never do the onboard wifi anyway. Too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louand66 Posted July 10, 2023 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2023 What is the quality of it would be my concern. We are going to Canaries in March and are thinking of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the internet on both Iona (Canaries) and Ventura, (Spain and Portugal) this year - basic package - and it was good enough for our needs, which were downloading our daily newspaper, emails, browsing etc. I like that I could swap my usage from phone to iPad easily. I don't recall it dropping out or causing problems, but whether that would be the same in other areas I wouldn't like to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winifred 22 Posted July 11, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Yes you just can’t have 2 devices connected at the same time. I used to switch between i phone and i pad depending on what I was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh1809 Posted July 11, 2023 #11 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I've found that booking carefully chosen 24-hour slots can work out quite economically over the course of the cruise. Say I make a booking at 1pm one day, then I'll have wi-fi for the afternoon of that day (let's call it Day 1) and the morning of Day 2. Then I wait 24 hours and book another 24 hours at 1pm on Day 3. I'm only making bookings every second day, but every day of the cruise I'll have wifi for part of the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatBoy20 Posted July 11, 2023 #13 Share Posted July 11, 2023 As a point of interest WiFi price on P&O had doubled since Covid shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have the rest to myself. muhahahaha. Also, 15% offer seems to still be ongoing.... --edit-- the 24hr plans don't seem to be discounted. With that in mind and the fact I can't find the book button for 24 hours. I might as well just go for the full fat package.

Mike Senior Posted July 14, 2023 #15 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Hi, you can only book the 24hr package when you are onboard. I think you'd need to book and pay for each 24hr period individually 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it back in March and the signal was really good. Paid for the full package and was streaming video, radio, FaceTime no problem. Paid for it again this December. Never tried hot spotting though, so will do this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously I used to be able share the internet in the cabin using a TP-Link WR802N travel router which has a hot spot function. However, I couldn't get it to work on Iona last year. I'm not sure if that was down to me as I'd not used it for years and didn't have the instructions to hand, or if P&O had somehow done something to prevent this (given that they now state on internet packages that they apply to "one device" only).

Mike Senior Posted July 16, 2023 #20 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Would setting up a hotspot to allow others to access your package be in breach of the conditions? 13.
