firstprincesscruise Posted October 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I will be on the Gem in just over 3 weeks. I was thinking about getting the unlimited wifi package to keep in touch with the kids. How many devices can this be used on? Is it limited to 1 device or can it be used on both phones and both ipads? We will have 4d evices with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathubia Posted October 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2015 If its like the other packages you can use it on multiple device, but just one at a time. Last cruise I went between my phone, my tablet and the internet café. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowrose Posted October 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I was reading an article the other day that most recent cell phones have the ability to be activated as a wi-fi hotspot. If so, maybe you can set up one cell and activate it as a wi-fi hotspot for your other wifi-capable electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpb11 Posted October 27, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) That hotspot capability uses the cellular connection. It's very handy when you have a big cellular data plan and aren't paying Cellular At Sea data rates. No phone I'm familiar with can attach to the ship's wifi then simultaneously provide wifi hotspot access for other devices. You could potentially use a laptop with two wifi radios (one internal and one USB attached wifi stick maybe) to serve as an access point / relay, but that's likely to require a bit of skill to make work.
