Yes, under Plus, you get unlimited internet for one active device at a time, but you can switch among different devices which means you could also share. Or switch between your phone and a tablet.

PS: and FWIW, all internet on Princess is unlimited,whether it's as part of a bundled Cruise Package or purchased as a standalone option.. 

Princess doesn't have metered by the minute internet and hasn't since before the pandemic...

So one device at a time. Does that mean you share a username/password with your cabin mate and can only login one at a time? 

Yup, exactly what it means.

You can share it with anyone you want..it's just one device at a time...

Wait, one device per cabin or one device per occupant? From other things I’ve read it seemed to be one device per occupant, especially since each person has to pay for the plan. Otherwise, that could change the calculus for us.

One device at a time per person with the plus cruise package. Unlimited wi fi usage for duration of cruise.Yes, 1st two in cabin have to purchase the package. 4 devices per person on premier cruise package.

You don’t have to purchase a cruise package,you may just purchase Wi-Fi (50% discount for platinum & elite cruise status) which is unlimited for duration of cruise or there is an option to purchase for a 24 hour period.

Waxh individual person with the Plus Plan is one device at a time.

If three people in the cabin have Plus, that's three logins, ie one each or however they want to share it, per one device per login at a time..

Can't imagine why you'd think it was one oer cabin, even with 1 people in a cabin having Plus, which includes one device WiFi Internet per package..

If you don't have plus or premier, and want two people to have wifi, it's a better deal for one person to purchase the 4 device plan.

The new Medallion Net Max Wifi is only available on the Plus or Premier Packages. It's supposed to be fast. 

 

The Medallion New Wifi is what you get when you buy Wifi separately from a package. It's supposed to be a little less fast.

No. It is individual. Plus fares apply per person not per cabin. Two in the cabin each with the plus fare, each has their own unlimited internet.

I don’t find any of the WiFi plans too be all that fast but for email and websites it is fine. Streaming long movies not so good. My biggest problem was no live TV when in port on a coastal last week
