Clydesmom7865 Posted April 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It's charged by the fraction of a minute. It is something like .75 cents a minute with no package. If you buy a package of minutes the per minute price goes down the larger the package you buy. The lowest per minute charge is somewhere around .65 cents a minute. The minute starts with the first second and is not rounded down but up. So if you have been on for 10 minutes and 03 seconds you will be charged for 11 minutes. This is why you watch the timer that opens as a separate window so that you sign off at the top of a minute rather than the bottom if at all possible.

jt58203 Posted April 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) I'd like to know if an "unlimited package" is available. I just got off an RCCL ship and they offered an unlimited package for the 4 nights for around $130-$140. I didn't purchase it, but would consider something like that on a 7 night cruise. Some people like their drinking, spa, shopping and/or casino. I like to waste [spend money] on internet. Edited April 11, 2014 by jt58203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need2bespoiled Posted April 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It is something like .75 cents a minute with no package.

This is why you watch the timer that opens as a separate window so that you sign off at the top of a minute rather than the bottom if at all possible. The $399.95 plan is .24/minute (1666 minutes), but if you sign up on the first day, they only charge you .19 a minute, so you get over 2100 minute. If you have a coupon, it's even cheaper as they will apply a Captain's Club coupon to any size package now. So for us, for $350 we got 2100 min at about 16.5c / min. Not too bad really if you have to do work. You don't even need to take coupons to the iLounge (as per Equinox 4/4) they automatically apply them to your account, though it did take a few days.
