Voom internet package questions

[zdub86]

We are wanting to purchase the "Voom Surf + Stream Voyage Package" for our 17 year old, so just one phone. Couple of questions:

 

Do we HAVE to purchase it for all 7 days of the cruise? Or can we pick and choose which days we want him using the phone? For example... if he doesn't use it AT ALL for one day, do we still get charged for that day? Basically we are wanting to try and limit his phone usage and don't want him staying on it the entire time. I guess if we have to pay for the entire week we will just have to regulate ourselves :)

 

Also, can anyone confirm what apps/services will work with this Wifi internet package? The phone is AT&T if that matters. Will we need to contact AT&T before leaving to see how much they will charge us to make phone calls while at sea? Will video streaming apps work like FaceTime or Tango? Will Whatsapp work for messaging? We were on NCL a few months ago and Whatsapp worked great for messaging and phone calls. Basically he just wants to get in touch with his girlfriend from time to time, either by phone call or texting or FaceTime or a combination of those. any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

If you purchase pre-cruise, you must purchase for the entire cruise.

 

If you wait until you are onboard, you can purchase a day at a time for $26. WiFi calling works fine on ships with the O3b internet. Which ship?

Liberty of the Seas

I believe Liberty was upgraded to the O3b service, so you should have good performance with Facetime and WiFi calling.

Okay thank you so much!!

Okay thank you so much!!

You're welcome.

 

 

Also, once onboard make sure you purchase the Surf & Stream level, that is the fastest. That's what costs $26 per day if you purchase one day at a time.
