Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 2 #3 Share Posted September 2 As other's said. On a single account you can use unlimited devices but only one at a time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted September 2 #5 Share Posted September 2 There has been no change in policy. One device at a time, as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italy52 Posted September 2 #6 Share Posted September 2 Glad someone is asking this question as I have follow-up questions: At Princess I usually purchase an internet plan for one device, my phone. I get the plan for 50% off as one of my loyalty perks. If my husband wants to use the plan, he just goes into the internet plan and "swaps" the plan to his phone number so he can use it. When he is done, I go to my phone and "swap" back to my phone. Is this the same practice as Celebrity?? Also, we are Elite with Celebrity so what would be the discount for the plan? Thanks in advance for any answers provided, I appreciate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite discount on Celebrity for internet is 30% for a package or an upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use an account to log into the plan. If you start with your phone then when your husband wants to use it, you log your phone off, and he uses the same userID and pin to log in with his device. The plan is associated with a log in ID and not with a specific device. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash sale on at the moment has premium WiFi at 35% off, so better than the Elite discount. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to log out. Just logging to a new device will automatically remove access from the current one.

Derek5001 Posted September 3 #11 Share Posted September 3 We had one device on our recent P&O cruise. I know you can't hotspot with WiFi, but with my Samsung S20 phone I can Bluetooth tether. I was able to have four devices on line simultaneously. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it is a great habit to get into if you do not have a plan and are using your Elite, Elite + minutes and are not immediately logging in with the second device. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to do a bluetooth tether. You can even get a small one powered by a portable battery to take with you to the pool deck and share wifi to all your devices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost sounds too good to be true that a cruise line would allow something like this. 🤷🏻♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreams_of_travel Posted September 3 #17 Share Posted September 3 @odyssyus thank you for this info. Your comment re: geek squad made me laugh. 100% accurate as I have had the rare issue that they struggled to fix, let alone understand.

Celebrity does not permit "swapping of the plan." On Celebrity a log in, userId and pin, is associated with the plan and that is what is used to log in, not matter what device or who is using it.

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted September 4 #19 Share Posted September 4 Not the first time an X rep has been wrong, won't be the last. Since you can no longer stack CC status discounts with flash sale discounts, usually the CC status discount is useless and you can just book the cheaper flash sale rate online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted September 4 #20 Share Posted September 4 Keep it in mind that on both cruise lines, your Internet plan is not tied to a specific device. You can switch devices as often as you’d like, you can give your password to someone else to put their device on for a few minutes, then come back to your device, you can toggle between two devices at will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
