Chrissy3427 Posted September 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Good day all. When planning an upcoming cruise on Adventure of the Seas, it is only showing a "surf and stream" internet package online. Once onboard are there other packages to choose from? All I need is to check emails twice a day, so surf and stream is an expensive overkill. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Posted September 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2023 There is only one internet speed option now that they have changed the whole fleet to Starlink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be able to combine some 24 hour packages (only available on board) on sea days with port Wi-Fi for that.

Mirlui Posted September 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Related to this question: can you use the RCI app without Internet aboard ship? And on that note, can you use the messaging feature of the app to communicated with other people in your party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can use the RCCL app onboard the ship for free to make reservations, check out the Cruise Compass newsletter, show times and such. I believe messaging comes at an extra cost.

Chrissy3427 Posted September 5, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted September 5, 2023 In regards to the Internet plans; I happen to be on the phone with a Royal representative, he seemed to imply if I just go to the internet cafe' I can check my emails there at no cost. I question whether this is true or not, but if it is, that is what I will be doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone before you forgot to log off their account (which happens often we've noticed) you can otherwise no you can't. However you can access the RCI website without signing on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you download the app before you get on the ship because it requires wifi to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatka Posted September 6, 2023 #13 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Only one internet on board. If you need it for every day I recommend buying it as a package before. Daily cost is about $28 a day, which if you buy for multiple days will be on average $21 for longer cruises. If you have D or D+ discounts (1 or 2 days… or 2/4 days for a couple) you may save save something on shorter cruises, but if not precruise packages are cheaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeW Posted September 10, 2023 #17 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Some folks on the roll calls buy a 4 device package and essentially sell the extra logins to others. Note that this requires some trust and cooperation to avoid bumping other people off. With a 4 device package you all use the same login ID - the system just limits you to 4 devices at a time.
