I am on Jewel now and yes the wifi package includes 22% italian vat making the daily rate $15.85 instead of $12.99. It certainly isn't Voom.... but I have been able to FaceTime my DH using it everyday.

 

All shop purchases have 22% vat added too but the drinks do not FYI

 

I'm also on June 25 .... have you registered for M&M?!

Did you prebuy your internet package and if so did you have to pay VAT? This is my first time traveling to Europe so I'm not sure how the VAT works!

I haven't registered for the M&M. I should probably get around to that! :)

Thank you! It sounds like if we get it, we should get the surf & stream. Do you have any experience with the VAT?

We are boarding at Civitavecchia and then visiting Cannes, Ajaccio, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, and Cagliari.

Did you use the surf only package or the surf & stream?

We will be sailing on the Jewel of the Seas on June 25th on a western Mediterranean cruise. First, does anyone know if we have to pay VAT if we prebuy internet services? Do we have to pay VAT if we buy it on the ship?

Second, how good is the internet on the Jewel of the Seas? I have read conficting reports. We want to use it to Skype.

Did you use the internet package onboard the Jewel? If so, what package did you use and how well did it work? Did you have to pay VAT for it?
