Platinum wifi question

[kayakbob]

I've read several postings about wifi and the Platinum credit.  From this I infer that I can use my credit to purchase 3 non-consecutive days of service and that I can use my wife's credit to purchase another 3 days.  Do I have this correct?  Thanks, Bob

The days don’t have to be days, but 24 hour periods, so three tranches can cover six days if planned carefully. Otherwise yes, if they haven't put it up.

That's correct. Assuming you and your wife are both Platinum, you will each have $80 internet credits. That works out to three separate 24-hour segments each (at $24 per segment for the Essential plan).

Depending on the length of your cruise and your specific connectivity requirements, you might also consider one of you purchasing three individual 24-hour segments during the beginning of the cruise. Then the other could purchase the last four days (at $18 per day for the Essential plan for the remainder of the cruise) when there are four days left in the cruise. That strategy works well to provide full connectivity for a cruise of seven nights.

So to start your 24 hours day, how does it start?  You login at a time and it start at that moment and lasts for 24 hours?  Or do you have to select which days ahead of time?

It starts that way....

Thanks so much to all who replied.  Sounds like I'll be fine with internet.

I was a bit dissapointed that the 240 minutes are exchanged for 80,- Internet credit, for my two weeks voyage I bought the whole package - a bit pricy- yes- but on the other hand it was no longer required to log off- so I was quite satisfied. Also the wifi worked like charm- and was pretty quick.
