xyankee Posted February 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I have a cruise coming up in April. Already checked in. I remember seeing somewhere that purchasing the internet before boarding the ship is less than purchasing onboard. I looked in both the app and RCCL website but do not see anywhere to pre purchase the internet package. How is this package purchased in advance?

On website in cruise planner, go to top left corner and pull down menu. Click on internet. Always cheaper to pre purchase. You probably only have surf and stream option now.

ddame Posted February 26, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I just need a basic internet package. Sounds like we have to buy a package with Streaming even if I just want the internet package to check for emails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, RCI doesn't have a tier for just email and the lower tier Surf seems to be going away on most ships (not available at all in the planner), leaving only the more expensive Stream tier as the only choice. If you only need check occasionally, you'll probably find free wifi in ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateau_de_croisiere Posted February 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I just got offered today the Classic Soda And VOOM One Device for $22.99 / per guest per day. I jumped on it since internet alone was going to be $16.99 per device per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to get free internet with the Princess loyalty program, but it too decided to eliminate that perk for all tiers. Sad... For shorter cruises. we'll just get wifi at the port or wherever we find a Starbucks... Edited February 27, 2023 by ddame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes (like all planner purchases), but you must do it before the planner closes (about 3 days out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 4 devices and 10 days internet was $140. It was $7.99 a day for 1 I think. On Royal you can by internet on big sale for $13.99 a day... but you need to catch it.
