alicat58 Posted August 13, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I can confirm the above prices from the brochure I took last month. Speed was better than expected ,says hubby,but still fairly slow. We ran out of data quite quickly on the 250MB. I am a technically challenged person but I think it had something to do with apps running. We thought the prices were reasonable though as we were on a Baltic cruise and our UK phone packages did not work in all the cities we visited. We wanted to keep in touch with daughter at home because she was not very well. I could have a go scanning the document and attaching it if anyone is interested but there is little else on the brochure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kusje Posted November 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I did not see the social package available on the mycosta website. Does anyone know if it is still around? Sailing on the diadema next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicat58 Posted November 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I cannot remember the social package. Maybe we have never used it. Can anyone help? I also had a look at MyCosta and I could not see anything like that either. Just this personalised package they want to flog. Mine has Pizza and Spa on :eek:.

tenpin Posted November 25, 2017 #12 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I may be wrong but seem to think that there was some sort of offer with the 500 discount anniversary vouchers if they aply to your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2014 Posted November 25, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I am on board of Costa Mediterranea now. Social Pack 24 hours cost 5 EUR + 3 EUR activation fee (paid first time only). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUEST080219 Posted November 25, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I am on board of Costa Mediterranea now. Social Pack 24 hours cost 5 EUR + 3 EUR activation fee (paid first time only). I am on the Favolosa. Interesting for those on longer itineraries. One day 5€, 20 days 49€. I think that is really fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_II Posted November 25, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 25, 2017 3GB=109 euro - at least this is the offer i got in MyCosta for our upcomming cruise on Deliziosa :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicat58 Posted December 2, 2017 #16 Share Posted December 2, 2017 We used the social package this time. It allows you Twitter, FB, Whatsapp and a few others we don't use. For the 7d it was €23 plus €3 registration. It was well worth it to hassle daughter and MiL whilst they were working and we were having cocktails!

alicat58 Posted December 5, 2017 #18 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Thanks GMT. The secret is to be on different time zones and MiL must work(even if she is in her 80's). You then post on your WhatApp family group ALL the time. You post food, drinks every bit of rubbish you can think of. When you've done that, you do the same on FB. You are bound to get a response like"stop showing off". Pity she does not use Instagram because then she would have had more from there! Booked the Victoria from Singapore! Now there are time zones too behold.:halo: Alicat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunenburg Posted September 1, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Anyone care to give an opinion. We are on a transatlantic and have 5 sea days in a row, then 2 more later. I am wondering if the cheapest 250 Mb at 32 euros would be enough to just check emails etc. those days. We don't need much else. Can anyone say in minutes what this is? Also, do you need to use your own device or does Pacifica have computers that you can access for these minutes without a further charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicat58 Posted September 1, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 1, 2018 We stopped buying anything but the social media packages. Even the 500 Mb seemed to run out very quickly. We think because of apps running in back ground. I don't look at work emails when I cruise and we have the whole family on different Whatsapp groups. As we are mainly in Europe we don't need more when we are ashore and we avoid cruises with lots of sea days. I am pretty sure they still have internet points but I have no idea whether you can use the packages on them. Suggest you call Costa and ask. Maybe someone else on the boards will be more helpful than me. Alicat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kremerlorraine Posted September 1, 2018 #21 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hi We bought the 3GB package on a 22-day crossing on the Pacifica earlier this year, and it was enough for our needs, but we do tend to surf a lot (looking for cruises to book!) I would buy the 250 MB and see how you go. You can always buy more if you need it. You have your own account, so can use their computers as well as your iPad or phone. Just remember to clear all background programmes every time you log off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
