smurf1635 Posted November 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I've recently changed my booking to include all of the perks. I'm wondering if it is possible to upgrade the free 250 minutes of wifi to the social media package for the price difference? TIA, Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted November 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yes. Don't know the social media price, but just the upgrade to normal unlimited was $85 on our last cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkear Posted November 7, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Tried this on Breakaway, 10/16/2018, didn't work. The internet manager showed me the page online that says you can upgrade the 250 minutes perk to only the basic online or the unlimited online at an additional cost of a couple of hundred dollars, with $125 credit for the 250 minute perk, (on my 11 day trip). I, like you, wanted just to move up to Social Media at about $35, they won't do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted November 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Yes, it's about $100 more. 6 hours ago, neilkear said: Tried this on Breakaway, 10/16/2018, didn't work.

Sunshine42794 Posted November 7, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I just called NCL to ask if this could be done and the woman told me absolutely not. She said you will need just purchase the package you want. I said will they take the $105 (the cost of the 250 minutes) and apply it towards the unlimited WiFi package and she said no, you cannot do that. I’m hoping she is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYcruzzer Posted November 8, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 8, 2018 DW and I are Platinum Plus. Any chance we can apply our free 120 minutes towards the purchase of an unlimited plan ? If not I guess we will just purchase an additional 250 minutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum minutes don't have a redeemable value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about $85 as someone mentioned, to upgrade to the Unlimited (non-streaming) wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I had the internet manager do it for me. Reason, I wanted 4 different devices we had to have access to the internet (one at a time). Manager did it quickly and placed an 2 icons on each device for quick connect and disconnect. It was $85 after getting credit for our free 250 minutes. We used non refundable OBC for that $85. The 120 free Platinum minutes could not be credited however. This was on the Dawn recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
