johnny75 Posted June 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2017 If you now prepay for onboard wifi there will be a discount price. Not sure it covers a price increase for wifi onboard. Please comment. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted June 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) This was announced early last month and in the meantime, they've been making it available on a ship by ship basis. It looks like they rolled it out further sometime this week I believe.

NYcruzzer Posted June 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Looks like the mid package is $10.25 per day , $82.00 total for our 8 night cruise. Anyone know if they are adding sales tax if you pre-order ? Also what is the onboard price for the same 8 day plan ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it is for an 8 day cruise, but it looks a little bit cheaper for my 7 day cruise on Glory if you prepay vs what it was onboard in October.

JeffsWife Posted June 24, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I prepaid wifi for the Legend, July 25th a few days ago- incidentally the day it became available. I only know it was the day because I saw it first on the web site that morning but when I clicked to purchase it said it was not available, and at the time it was listing $17.XX/day for the premium package. I went back later that afternoon and it went through without a hitch and the price was then listed at $14.88/day. So premium wifi for 7 days on the Legend is costing me $104.16- no taxes added. I have no idea if this represents a discount from onboard purchase. It seems like the last 7 day cruise I took cost me $156 or thereabouts for wifi, but I am not detail oriented enough to know if I am remembering accurately. There is also a possibility that both the pre pay and onboard prices have been lowered. For what it's worth, the prices I am seeing right now on the web site are: Social: $4.00/day; Value: $10.25/day and Premium: $14.88/day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those prices are what I saw earlier today on our booking.... definitely a discount over the published prices on the Carnival website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabaster Cruiser Posted June 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2017 In March we had the 5 day value package. On ship it was offered at $16/24 hours and $48 for the cruise. We are sailing on Fantasy next month and it is only offered for $10.25/day. No mention of entire cruise cost. Looks like waiting to purchase on ship might be a better option.

It cost me $119 for premium on a 7-day cruise in Feb so $104 would be a slight discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted June 24, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Prepaid prices for my upcoming 7 day Glory cruise are as follows: Social is $28, Value is $71.25, Premium $104.16 In October, the prices onboard Glory for 7 days were: Social $30, Value $72, Premium $119. So I'm saving a whopping $0.75 on the Value :cool:. But I like getting it all out of the way ahead of time. Plus it protects me against price increases.

Sent from my VK700 using Tapatalk It's $10.25 per day x the number of days of your cruise so $51.25. There's no tax. The only prepaid option is for the whole cruise. Add it and go as far as getting ready to pay and it will give you the total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only prepaid option is for the whole cruise. Add it and go as far as getting ready to pay and it will give you the total. So why pay $51.25 when you can get it for $48 onboard?

You might want to post on a roll call of the current cruise to ask. It's cheaper for me and others as they have stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know me, I have to be accurate! I was off by $0.50 on both. Hate when I find errors when it's too late to edit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
