PCWalton1 Posted June 26, 2013 #26 Share Posted June 26, 2013 My guess is that they are using the price to control bandwidth usage. I don't know. Considering the "metered" rate was $199 for 555 minutes, you are not going to scare too many people off by offering an unlimited package for less than that as they currently are doing.

You and I might have bought 500 minute packages, but I'd be surprised if many others did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reney313 Posted June 27, 2013 #28 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Watch it break $200 before year end. :eek: Anyone going on the Allure between now and next January should not buy the unlimited wifi plan. Then, by the time I cruise, maybe it will be back down to $119! Pretty please :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveru621 Posted June 27, 2013 #29 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Is there a limit to the number of devices? I was wondering if this could be shared with other people in other cabins that you are traveling with.I realize the package is for one device at a time, so it would take some coordination, but did not know if this was allowed. Things change fast, the price went up $30. But, you can coordinate as many devices as you like. Only one device logged in at a time. Enjoy your future cruises.

CrazyCanuckCruzer Posted June 28, 2013 #32 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I see, thanks for your speedy reply. The $149 package gives you 500 mins if I remember correctly. So what part of 500 minutes is 'unlimited'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveru621 Posted June 28, 2013 #33 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I found half a dozen posts here at CC stating that they paid $99 for the week at some point (in 2013) - hence my surprise when we were onboard last week and quoted $179! Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app I believe the $99 price came from using C&A coupon discounts. We paid $119 with a $30 dollar Diamond discount ($149).

The $149 package gives you 500 mins if I remember correctly. It's not 500 minutes on the Allure. As I remember the unlimited package allowed 7 days x 24 hours of minutes. Probably just a technical issue to implement unlimited minutes. Enjoy your future cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was funny as it would show how much time you had left which equated to how much time was left on the cruise. :D Also they do not cut you off when the ship gets back to Ft Lauderdale. I was using the unlimited up until we left the ship at about 9:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
