Updated internet on Carnival Magic

[teacher2cruiser]

Good information! So............ we can send FB messages to keep in touch vs text messages which would cost significantly? This is great news to me!

The social media package was fantastic on our Sunshine cruise this May. $25 for 7 day cruise and, because I have an iPhone and iMessage works on wifi, I was able to iMessage as well. We purchased one package but my husband and my son were allowed to sign in as well imposing my folio number. Only one device at a time though; if you sign in and someone else is using it, it kicks then off.

 

So, if DH or I get this and then one of our teenage daughters gets it (they will be together constantly on the cruise so no need to get it for both) then we could iMessage them while at sea? That would be awesome to plan when to meet up and check on them and such. Norwegian actually has an app that you can text each other on, I wish Carnival had that.

I'm interested in the value package $16 / day. Carnival says discounted price if purchased for the entire cruise (7 days in my case). Anyone know the price for a 7 day cruise?

 

Thanks!

Keep in mind that if you buy the Social Media Internet Package, that you have to access Facebook via the website, the app doesn't work. Or at least it didn't earlier this year on the Paradise.

 

 

Could someone confirm this (specifically about the Magic?)

I've seen on another thread you have to use the app, as the internet doesn't work... and $5 a day is apps only.
