P.A. Posted July 30, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2021 So I always loved having the free wifi mins when I became Platinum. Now I hear they are taking that away and now you get 50% off the wifi pkg. Just another way to make a buck I guess.🤑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lady Arwen Posted July 30, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Definitely not impressed with this. On our next two cruises we have unlimited wifi as a perk, but for future cruises we may have just gone with the basic fare. Loyalty is being punished, it seems.

voljeep Posted July 30, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 30, 2021 sometimes things change - some we like, some not so much it is still our decision to accept those changes we can't control, or it may be time to move on ... at least we still have a choice... 33 minutes ago, P.A. said: So I always loved having the free wifi mins when I became Platinum.

Rare geoherb Posted July 31, 2021 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2021 For most of my recent cruises, I have purchased the internet package. The new discount makes it less for me. I'm willing to spend $5 a day to have unlimited Wi-Fi. The ones who are really getting screwed are the ones who used to be able to buy packages for long cruises. I know that on our transatlantic in 2019 that the people who were doing back-to-back cruises paid the same thing initially for internet as we did even though they had been on the ship an extra 12 days. The way it used to work was that there was a package price for cruises that were up to 29 days long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare donswife Posted July 31, 2021 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I'm okay with the change, because it was a real nuisance trying to log in and out and keep track of the minutes. Unlimited wifi will keep DH much happier 🙂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john watson Posted July 31, 2021 #12 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Trading conditions have been vet difficult the past year. They have got to keep the company going and in this respect restructure various things. The problem with loyalty schemes is that as the years pass more and more people get into the higher levels. This makes it less attractive to newcomers to the brand and they are very important to a company that wishes to continuously expand.

For a 33 day cruise, we are going from a free combined 1000 minutes to a single package for $165 and being told we should be happy since we are not paying full price of $330. Quite a difference since we only use the Internet about 20 minutes a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
