Rare Crew News Posted September 7, 2023 #26 Share Posted September 7, 2023 49 minutes ago, Desert Cruisers said: Could you ask if a package can be bought mid-cruise? Let's say we are in port the first 5 days of a 14-night cruise. Can use cell service to get e-mails during day so don't need wifi. Could we wait until day 6 to get a package and, if so, how much it would cost? I will ask (wrote myself a note). While onboard in a few more weeks, I will try to get a master price list from the Internet folks as well as answer as many HAL questions as possible. Every day that I logged in to the internet, there was an option on the screen to add another account with a lowering amount each day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepay is only available for Premium service at $207.99 for a 1-device plan for a 14-night cruise. That works out to about $15 per day. There is no prepay Surf package. If we wait until we get onboard, a Surf package for the entire cruise will be $209.99. How/where did you find out the price of the Surf package when purchasing on board? When I called ships services they told me they did not have that information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalspin Posted September 7, 2023 #30 Share Posted September 7, 2023 20 hours ago, iflyrc5 said: When I click that link it only gives be the price if I purchase it a day at a time. There are a single example in the two-asterisk footnote: 7- DAY SURF VOYAGE PRICING BEGINS AT $18 PER DAY AND 7- DAY PREMIUM VOYAGE PRICING BEGINS AT $23 PER DAY. PACKAGES ARE AVAILABLE UP TO 135 DAYS. Not too helpful for longer cruises! But it still appears to be that Premium bought (and paid for!) pre-sailing is about the same as Surf bought on board, with Premium being more. What *I* am curious about is the price to upgrade to Premium from the HIA's Surf, on board, for a LONG cruise (have two 35-day booked!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelker Posted January 8 #31 Share Posted January 8 (edited) Updated WiFi Pricing List (as of 1-7-24) Currently on K’dam. Was told that the only person onboard who has the coveted WiFi pricing list (to buy once onboard) is the future cruise consultant. Seemed unlikely but I asked anyway and voila!! He made me a copy. 😘 (apologies for not knowing how to rotate a photo on my iPad) @Crew News Roger, feel free to update the list on your website Remember, 5* Mariners save $30 off these prices.

Nodakboiler Posted January 8 #36 Share Posted January 8 (edited) Buying the premium package pre-cruise saves you 20% which makes a big difference on longer cruises. You can't use the Mariner discount however. The multi device is also cheaper than 2 individual plans. Edited January 8 by Nodakboiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-elite Posted January 8 #37 Share Posted January 8 I recently purchased an Internet package pre-cruise for the 20% discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
