Animalgirl27 Posted January 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2018 We recently sailed on the Carnival Conquest. On the Carnival website through several links, it lists that you can purchase the social media plan for $5/day. However, this is not the case. On the ship, you can only purchase the social media plan for the duration of the cruise. It is not offered daily at all. Just thought I would share because I was misled on the Carnival website.

DANCING GRANDMOMMY Posted January 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I did not find that to be the case. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpagejr Posted January 13, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Me neither... You could buy 24hr (daily) plans when I cruised on Vista in November. I purchased a 1 day plan....went from 4pm (when I signed up) to the following day 4pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonCruiser Posted January 13, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2018 You should have seen a screen like this on your device, to purchase 24 hour access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalgirl27 Posted January 13, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I'm not sure about the other ships, but on the Conquest a 24 hour social media option was not available. I even checked with guest services and they confirmed that the social media package was only available for the entire cruise. There were other more expensive internet options available daily.

jakeT Posted January 14, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I am not sure myself, but I think you had to take it for the full cruise. But then again I wanted it for the full cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firemanbobswife Posted May 21, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 21, 2018 This has been true for me since last year in August on Conquest and I have reported as such here whenever the topic has been brought up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacruise804 Posted May 23, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 23, 2018 With Carnvial's social wifi plan, Can you post messages on FB or just read FB? Thank you! it is not an internet platform, you can only post and receive messages The social wifi plan is one of the internet/data options. The HUB app has a chat feature at $5 pp for the length of the cruise. This uses the ship's intranet to allow messaging between other passengers onboard with the feature.

coevan Posted May 23, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 23, 2018 no it's not, no internet browsing with Social Plan. The Hub has nothing to do with Carnivals internet plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joecruiser62 Posted May 23, 2018 #14 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Also, if you pre-purchase from the website, it is at a discounted rate. $4 per day, if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacruise804 Posted May 24, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 24, 2018 COEvan - sorry I misunderstood you. I've seen many confuse texting/messaging people off the ship with the optional chat feature of the HUB app on the ship, which is what I thought you were doing when you said "it is not an internet platform, you can only post and receive messages" The screen shot below states access to "social websites and applications" so even though it does not allow browsing, it is access to others off the ship which to me implies internet vs. intranet. You should have seen a screen like this on your device, to purchase 24 hour access no it's not, no internet browsing with Social Plan. The Hub has nothing to do with Carnivals internet plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
