Yes, as long as you sign up and pay for it - unless you get free unlimited Internet as a perk.

Not all cabins are equal when it comes to internet reception. Some are better than others due to location. Crap shoot.

our cabin on deck 9 had poor connection but my friend on deck 10 hers was fine

that it is faster and easier to go up to the computer room early in the morning. Otherwise it is slow.

In January it was

99 cent per min + $3.95 set up fee

$160 for 200 min + $3.95 set up fee

$27.99 or $29.99 ( I cannot remember) unlimited

It should be listed in your Personalized Cruise Planner

On some longer cruises the unlimited internet is discounted. On my July cruise (20 nights) it is offered at 21.99 per day (it is regularly 27.99 per day). Those cruisers who have reached certain loyalty levels get a further discount off that rate.

13 days is where it changes to the 21.99 a day. This has actually been a moving target for the last 8 or 9 months and has changed a couple of times. Was 15, went to 12 then back up to 13. They changed the web page a time or two and if you look at some of the books in the last 6 months you'll see it says 12 or more nights. It currently is 13.

 

If you'll look up at the ceiling in the hallways by the staterooms you'll notice the router repeaters in the ceilings. Can't say for sure how often they are but are pretty frequent. Hopefully there will be one outside your stateroom. The issue is not the wireless connection but the speed of the satellite up & download.

 

It's pretty much like the old dial up or a little slower. Good times to use it is on port days or early in the morning or late at night.

 

My wife has to have the unlimited for her job. We're just happy they have the unlimited package, even better when it's included.

 

Concierge or higher gets you 20% off the package and bronze or higher level gets you a 10% discount. Some of the higher levels might get more discount.

Thanks LHT28 and pacheco18 for all the information.

 

I looked on line in my booking information and found nothing. I'll check back at a later date and with my TA and if nothing shows up, I'll talk to the computer person when I board.

If you have sailed with O before you will get 20% off the Package price starting with cruise #5

When you get your Cruise Planner about 4-6 wks before your cruise it will have the prices listed there ..if any discounts it will be noted

 

Some cruises offer free internet it will be noted on your invoice, usually on page 2 where the itinerary is listed

[xrvlcruiser]

This will be my 2nd Oceania cruise so I don't qualify for any of this . . . . just have to keep sailing.

 

I'll check my docs when they arrive . . . .

 

Thanks for the information.

Hi Peggy, we had to sign up for the internet once we got on board on our last cruise. This time we have a special that includes internet but assume that we still need to sign up while onboard.

 

In terms of the signal, I had two friends on the Riviera last Christmas in the Caribbean and the internet was slow at times and impossible at other times. When we were on the Riviera in the Med., it was fine. Either the internet access is more difficult in the Caribbean or people were using it more than usual to contact friends and family during the holidays.

 

Look forward to seeing you both on the Voyager and the Riviera:)
