I do not have princess plus as my fair either. And I wanted to make sure it was taken care of before I went sailing on the Majestic on sunday. They told me as long as it's on your travel summary don't worry about it it's taken care of. Just bring your travel summary print out with you to the front desk to show him it's on there Just so you know I literally spoke to about six people in total yesterday in regards to it because I kept telling I wanted to make sure that it was indeed taken care of and I didn't have to worry about it and they all reinsured me I'd be fine.

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted July 28, 2021 #12 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Well, another mystery. Who is Dir BON VOYAGE? The only options I was given was to pay for it when I ordered it or pay for it in final payment. I paid for it when I ordered it and it is showing "paid". Do you have a fairy godmother who paid for yours? Is this the elite rate? Wow....will issues ever end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pms4104 Posted July 28, 2021 #13 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Wow ... free wifi! If you call again to pre-pay bev pkg and/or crew incentive, maybe Dir BON VOYAGE also will cover that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted July 28, 2021 #17 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Okay, I took the challenge. Went to Chat on Princess.com. Connected to an agent...of course had to connect to OCEAN Navigator. "Bon Voyage" is an automatic response. Means nothing. Mine says PAX1 Bon Voyage paid. I did not go into he said, she said...this offer, that offer. Another wasted hour with Princess. But heck, I'm retired and have nothing better to do with my time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted July 28, 2021 #18 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I ordered for myself today. The way I take the info in the box is that I have paid for the package. I'll be getting 50% back as onboard credit. Mine, btw, says "Na BON VOYAGE!" The "paid" portion just means that you've paid for it already. The "cancel" button is there if you change your mind up to 72 hours before the cruise starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pricing that we got on hours is the pre Cruise rate once you get on board you will be given a 50% off that rate so roughly about $35 will be placed as on board credit on to your account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esjung1 Posted July 28, 2021 #20 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I purchased mine as well today but paid $69.93 using a princess gift card. On another note, I've never purchased the WIFI package before, does this include sending text messages to people that aren't on the ship? IE. If we need to stay connected with loved ones at home (or work) can we text as part of the WIFI package? I believe phone calls are charged at whatever your wireless carrier charges but I'm not clear on what the WIFI packages includes. Any insight would be appreciated so I don't rack up a huge phone bill! Edited July 28, 2021 by Esjung1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is example of an app that runs over internet/wifi. Not only can you text and send photos, but you can also have voice or video calls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tillys mom Posted July 29, 2021 #22 Share Posted July 29, 2021 WhatsApp works well. Have everyone you want to communicate with download the app- including yourself. You can use anywhere you have WiFi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you have an Apple device such as a phone or an IPad you can text somebody who also has an Apple device using wifi. I don't know if this is possible using other brands such as a Samsung phone to another Samsung phone or tablet. I only know Apple. As for phone calls - if your carrier and your phone allow you to make wi-fi calls you can do so without a charge as long as you are on wi-fi. You can check in your phones settings to see if the phone allows you to make wi-fi calls. Check with your carrier to see if they allow you to make wi-fi calls. And as a final note - It is always a good idea to turn your cellular services off when on the ship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t&atravel Posted July 29, 2021 #25 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) As CTgirl said you can text apple to apple on wifi and you do NOT need the paid internet to do this. As long as you are connected to the ships intranet it will work. The “paid” medallionnet portion is only needed to access internet web sites, email servers etc. Edited July 29, 2021 by t&atravel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
