Royal Carribean Internet on Greek Isles cruise

[travelali]

$377 per device for 9days. We have 4 device (including teens' devices).
so that's around $1500 for internet alone.

Any hack to this? We won't be streaming. Just need to be accessible anytime.

I'm guessing your teens are probably of an age where not having Internet could potentially have a negative impact on their enjoyment of the cruise, but what about you and your spouse? Do you both need to be constantly connected or could you share? That would at least let you reduce the purchase to a 3-device plan, which would be a little bit cheaper.

I'm confused on your pricing. We are doing a 7 day Greek cruise and a 4 device internet package is $391. Are you buying four 1 device packages for everyone? One 4 device package is all you need...

No hacks, but most ports have free Internet at the pier in the terminal.

 

Buy one person -- 4 devices

How did you calculate this?

 

I have not seen internet going over 21.99 per person. ($153.93) When it is package of one person 4 devices it goes even lower per person.

 

Even if you buy 1 device package for everyone it will be $615.96 per week, but it is more economical to buy 1 person 4 devices which allow to login with the same login at 4 devices at the same time.

Teach everyone in the family how to share a one device package.

omg thanks for pointing it out! my hubby computed wrong as he thought we have different number of cruise days 😄
so we recalculated again. its $566 for 4 devices. its sounds more reasonable.

You are very welcome. Also you can buy it and watch. Maybe it will come down in price so you can rebook.

we are on a long vacation so teens will be doing some review classes during some cruise days.
with me and hubby, you are right, we might be always together all the time and ill just borrow his phone.
my hubby is always on work even during cruise/holidays 😅
im just more lucky i can get away from work once in awhile.

You can save even more if you buy less devices and split time. (Not on the same device, but relogin to another)

Glad to see you've got it all figured out and it's not going to be nearly as bad as you thought. 😊
