jules815 Posted February 23, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) We're sailing on Seaside in April. I know that internet isn't included now, but supposed to be included for sailings beginning in May. After I made my final payment back in January, I actually read the fine print about what's included in our Yacht Club "Experience." (page 5 of our email confirmation) It says Premium Internet Package, up to 4GB, (depending on the length of your cruise.) After reading that I called and spoke to a rep, who assured me that internet was included for us. I know that speaking to a rep unfortunately doesn't mean anything with MSC, as you tend to get a different answer depending on who you speak to. I canceled the package I purchased online. Now I'm wondering if the depending on the length of your cruise is going to determine whether we get it or not. Anyone know?? If it's 4GB complimentary, we won't bring all of our devices. If it isn't, we'll purchase the 4 device package and bring laptop/iPad. Prefer not to lug everything, but unfortunately I do have to check work email on vacation, and I prefer to do that on my Ipad.

dexddd Posted February 24, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Checking website too shows it with no mention of date. If listed, we should get it on trip coming up. But they also show pictures of butlers bringing towels to you when you get out of TSL pool. Never had that but maybe have to be a nice looking Young Lady as shown in the pictures.

jules815 Posted February 24, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted February 24, 2020 It's the "depending on length of cruise" thing that I'm curious about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmbhardy Posted February 24, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 24, 2020 If you look at the screen shot I attached, there’s an asterisk next to the free internet point At the bottom the asterisk code states * included for cruises starting May 2020.

paulsurf Posted February 24, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Oh, that darn “ dreaded asterisk “ Thanks for posting. We are in the YC (second time ) on the Seaside next month . So I will purchase the internet package prior as a did the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8tor Posted February 24, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Definately not an expert here, but I THINK that the "up to 4GB (depending on the length of the cruise)" just refers to the amount of data that will be included is dependent on the lenght of the cruise so longer cruises would get more data up to the max of 4GB.

emmas gran Posted February 25, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Just done YC B2B on Bellissima and had to purchase internet, we had something called "wifi social" as a freebie and I was able to use Whatsapp on my phone with this but no internet access.

We pre-purchased the 4 GB plan before sailing and it was plenty for me to post pics and videos on FB and instagram... Make sure you turn it off between used.
