CH_ca Posted September 23 #1 Share Posted September 23 HI, I'm wonder how the WiFi per day onboard works. Do you get 24 hours of WiFi or do you get a calendar day's duration? Say if I purchase the $35/day WiFi at 11am, do I get WiFi till the end of the day or till 11am the next day? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted September 23 #2 Share Posted September 23 Imo this wifi is a huge money maker for the cruise lines .. what we do is leave the internet devices at home & do nothing ona computer during "vacation on the ship " .when we get back home is when I cancel out the e-mails .Yes we get numerous but ,I often ask myself shy do what I did at home .I am on vacation to enjoy myself .just a thought & also I save that money for use on some thing else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also interested in the answer and I hope everyone who comments isn't just going to tell them getting internet is a bad idea! 🙂 (I always buy an internet package, but still manage to be on vacation and enjoy myself, just sayin' 🙂and I'm still curious about the question posed.) 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare electro Posted Tuesday at 08:52 PM #5 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:52 PM I didn't know you could buy it by the day. I will keep it in mind for cruises that I don't get the HIA for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH_ca Posted Tuesday at 11:51 PM Author #6 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:51 PM Seems like we don't have an answer for that. It's ok. I'll post my findings as soon as I found out onboard. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj59 Posted Tuesday at 11:53 PM #7 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:53 PM You get a better deal if you buy 'remainder of cruise', which at a certain point gets you something like 40 hours for the price of a one-day pass. I can't remember exactly when that kicks in, but you can just check as the cruise goes along. In ports I buy a travel esim through the Airalo app, which I think was $6 for 1GB of data in Mexico, which helps for using maps, and I've even used it for Uber in Mexican ports, as well as a translation app if needed. Despite the cost without a package, it's nowhere near as expensive as Royal/Celebrity, and I've been around on HAL long enough to remember paying by the minute for slow internet. Another tip for internet addicts without an internet plan is that the free sites available include free NYT access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
