tiger1956 Posted March 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2018 on the grandeur starting today I could not get my free day if internet. I was told that for this cruise only I had to pay for it and then it would be reimbursed. however starting April 5 no free days but diamond get 20% off package and diamond plus get 40%. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted March 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Wow! That effectively eliminated any benefit for Diamond members as anyone can purchase it ahead of time for at least 20% off the on board prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted March 29, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2018 How much is a basic 1 device package these days? We usually just use our coupons and that gets us enough coverage for the week. Bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted March 29, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Damn. I just turned Diamond and was looking forward to 4 free internet days for hubby and I on our April sailing... It would have only been 2. Diamond each receive 1 day Diamond + each receive 2 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelblu Posted March 29, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 29, 2018 How much is a basic 1 device package these days? We usually just use our coupons and that gets us enough coverage for the week. Bummer On the January Anthem sail it was $15.99 for surf only per day/device. I guess it screws the 2nd D or D+ coupon. As D+, we were able to use 2 days of free internet for one member and apply the second member of $45 towards the balance of the week's package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vistapat Posted March 29, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I would very much like to hear something official from RCCL on this. If it will be effective almost immediately, you would think they would have publicized it before this. I'd love to think it was just one ship taking a wild hair....

Lady Hudson Posted March 29, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Ouch! This will cost me as I need to be connected to home when I travel. Any change for Pinnacle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LMaxwell Posted March 29, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Am going on a 9 day cruise and the ability to have 2 days connectivity has real value. Diminishment of benefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JessyCruises Posted March 29, 2018 #19 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I just msged RCL on Facebook and Twitter to confirm whether or not Diamonds will still get a free day. I will let you know if/when I hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted March 29, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I did a message to Royal Caribbean on the site I can't mention and Val answered and said that Diamond Plus will still get the 2 days. There is no change to that benefit. I am hoping that she is correct and this was just some quirky thing. I don't sail until June, so hopefully, if this is the case, we will all know for sure before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used "friend" I thought it was a little less weird then random internet stranger LOL I'm not sure that what you posted is really conclusive. The response is in the present tense ("Our Diamond members still receive 1 free day..."). Neither the question nor the answer specifically mentions the time period starting April 5.

tiger1956 Posted March 29, 2018 Author #23 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I had to purchase one day at $23.00 ×.40 which is about $14.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
