Can I get only WiFi added to Standard Fare?

[Treasure Hunter]

Booked through the casino and got the “free balcony cabin”. Upgraded to a mini ( that was as high as they let me go). It came with no perks except for free play and my deposit turns into onboard credit once onboard. Went on the website to add WiFi. We don’t drink alcohol and saw only two options. One includes drinks, tips and exercise ( don’t make me laugh) and one , is a fortune that includes additional garbage. Am I out of luck. My husband will go nuts. Can I call and add it for him or maybe once onboard. Please let me know. Thanks

You can purchase the internet on the App. Download the App and it’s under MedallionNet.

@treasurehunter, since you do not "imbibe" then one of the fare packages is probably not the best choice for you.  Yes, as @PacnGoNowshared, you can buy the internet as "standalone".  We *generally* always do the Princess Plus.  We're not *big* drinkers but we enjoy a few drinks while cruising.  (To be perfectly honest...we *probably* do not get our money's worth...but we like that the package rolls everything together that we would get anyway.)  Have a GREAT cruise!

Tried the app but it said “no plan’s available “. Maybe too early, cruise is in September.

It's been doing that lately for me too. I do see plans now. Just try again later from time to time, and I'm sure you'll be able to add a plan.

We booked Standard this time as we really did not make use of our drink package last time.

I went on the App to Medallion Net to purchase a stand alone internet package, and it shows a screen that says Select Number of Devices and "Buy Plan", but I cannot do either. Nothing happens when I tap the Buy Plan. 

Has anyone else had this happen?

[Treasure Hunter]

Yes, Exactly

Pricing update error over 5 weeks ago. They are working on it. Try end of the week, maybe.

Ok, thanks

Princess updated the app for IPhones two days ago.  That made the difference for me.  If you have an IPhone check to see if your App is up to date.

Updated android also at the same time and it now works for me.

As mentioned there have been ongoing issues with the ability to purchase plans.  If you email 

askoceanmedallion@carnival.com they can help you make the purchase over email if you have entered a credit card into the Medallion App. When you email they will need your name, DOB, booking number and the date you are sailing. For trouble shooting they will also want to know device you are using and what version of IOS your device is running ( if you know).

After doing a couple of cruise with the drink package I've found that it's not for use either. We were drinking just to feel we got our money's worth & the internet was a joke unless you were awake at 3 AM so it would actually work. Most of the time it was almost impossible to use.

We returning to the days of RumRunners and no internet.
