bafinegan Posted December 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Its been over a year since our last cruise and wanted to check with recent cruisers. Can the internet plans still be purchased day by day? Or are they for the length of the entire cruise now. I only want access 2-3 times during our 7 day Glory cruise and don't want to purchase fro the entire week unless necessary. Thanks so much in advance for your assistance! baf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opted out and ended up paying day by day for 3 days. I realized that the prices on board are a bit more and I ended up spending equivalent of a prepaid 4 day plan. Again fyi.

woodman Posted December 31, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 31, 2017 :D We were on the Sunshine in Nov. and I paid for 3 days at $16. a day. That's all we needed. The worst internet service I have ever had. I thought the idea was to compete with land based vacation that mostly offer free internet service. Guess I was wrong. I works if you are wiling to wait a while for each page to come up.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is satellite service and inherently slower than land internet. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask you, being that you've been on many cruises according to your signature, have there been any cruises you've been on where the internet service was just as good as cellular or wifi service on land?

reno3 Posted December 31, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 31, 2017 On the Social Wi-Fi Plan ($5 USD per day)...does this mean I can purchase for just one day? All I need to do is check in and print my SW boarding passes on the last day. I don't have a smart phone...I just have a cheap prepaid phone so using my phone for this is not going to work.

No, if you're going to go on board and purchase an internet plan but do it per day, it's much more than $5/day. The prices online and the prices on board are different. That $5/day social wifi plan sounds a lot like what is broken down for the entire cruise. For example on a 4 day cruise, it'll cost you $20 for the social wifi plan for the entire cruse ($5/day times 4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d buy the SW precheck option. You’ll be in the front of the line. Just have to print your pass at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno3 Posted January 1, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Not that I want to keep this going but...in the past I have been able to pay by the minute on the last day just to check in on SW and print my boarding passes....that is no longer available to do???

Pepgal65 Posted January 28, 2018 #17 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Wondering how reliable the wifi connection is on the Conquest. Crusing in March and would like to ensure the kids can reach us if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
