internet usage ?

I have an iPhone work phone that is international enabled. Will it work on the ship to be able to retrieve my emails and go online or will I need to purchase VOOM? I see it is currently 1.99 per day for 1 device ? do they have an onborard special ?

International enabled does apply while at sea.

 

You will need to purchase VOOM. If you see $1.99 per day, jump on that, I've not see it below $8 per day.

 

Also, if you enable your phone for WiFi calling, they you will also be able to make voice calls and send/receive texts over VOOM without any charges from the cell company.

Where can I find the $1.99 per day for 1 device special?

I assume it may be a typo and the OP may have meant $11.99?

That seems more like it.

Very unlikely and the price on board is higher ($18 for the same package).

Like everyone else said, you'll want to get VOOM and enable wi-fi calling. Buying the VOOM package before embarkation is way less expensive.

Onboard price for surf only one device package has been $11.99/day on my last 2 cruises, including Freedom just 2 weeks ago. Surf & Stream is higher.

opps yes major typo !! 11.99 per day ! Thanks for your replies I just purchased the VOOM for the 7 days ...back to packing !

The only thing available pre-cruise is Stream so I was making an apples-apples comparison. Yours is the first report I've seen with this price of Surf ($12) on board - it has been $13 since VOOM went fleet wide last May.
