Internet Pricing Questions

[MarkWiltonM]

Oceania's website indicates that you can add streaming to the included single-device WiFi that is included in the fare. You can add a second Wavenet log-in for $24.99 a day and a 2nd streaming log-in for $34.98 per day.

 

Questions:

 

(1) Is the basic WiFi sufficient for social media sites/apps such as Instagram as well as news sites/apps? 

 

(2) Does the streaming option actually work for media such as Netflix? I've had WiFi on other cruise lines that was supposed to be "streaming" quality but it wasn't possible to stream video reliably.

 

(3) If you purchase a 2nd login for streaming at $34.98 per day, does that first require that the 1st log-in be upgraded to streaming as well, or does the fee upgrade both devices? If you have to upgrade them separately, the additional daily charge for 2 devices would be $44.97 per day ($9.99 + $34.98). If this is the case, it's pricey compared to some other lines.  

 

Streaming Upgrade
In addition to receiving Wavenet FREE Unlimited WiFi, you may also upgrade to Wavenet Prime and enjoy streaming. Get access to sites such as Netflix or Audible for $9.99 per day.

Wavenet Unlimited WiFi
Purchase a 2nd login and enjoy general web browsing post photos to social media and check your personal email for $24.99 per day

Wavenet Prime Unlimited WiFi with Streaming
Purchase a 2nd login and enjoy the same access as the Unlimited Interent (Basic) plan, plus an upgrade to video and audio streaming for $34.98 per day

Just remember that the upgrade option only unlocks access to streaming.  It has the same speed as the basic package.
