BLiles1961 Posted June 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 2, 2022 We are sailing on Grandeur in September. The DBP and Voom Surf and Stream are not bundled for this cruise, so I am booking separately. Here is where my brain has run off to get itself bedazzled or whatever it's doing. For Voom, I click on both of our names. Easy peasy, right? Then it pops up asking for how many devices. Do I click on 1 because it's one device each, or do I click 2 for two total devices? If anyone else has a stupid question, feel free to ask in this thread. Then I won't be alone! 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcgrumpy Posted June 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Do 2 devices under just one of your names. It's cheaper that way. You can both be on at the same time under one sign in. Edited June 2, 2022 by dcgrumpy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keacat Posted June 2, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Not a stupid question at all. It took me a few cruises to even realize that one device meant one device at a time. I can go between my laptop and cellphone easily-just can't do both at the same time. I love that! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do, you can always cancel your current orders and purchase the bundle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can share, get just get a one device package - Surf might be enough for most uses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'd do, share and buy for 1 device. Take turns online unless you both need constant wifi. I'm not sure surf and stream even helps. .. I had surf and steam and it barely worked. .. or didnt. At times I've only seen it bundled with the soft drink pkg, nothing else. Not what you asked but im assuming you know grandeur wifi is so so at best. Very slow or goes completely offline a lot. This is the oldest ship.

BLiles1961 Posted June 2, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Thanks, all! I did not know that I could book one person with 2 devices, so that's very useful. I will continue to watch for the packages to be bundled. <----- Feels 2% less stupid. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rudeney Posted June 2, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Wow, I was so prepared to mock! 😜 As others have said, do 2 devices for one person. It's usually cheaper that way even if they do offer the DBP + Voom package. But...keep checking prices! They can change with sales, and sometimes the DBP + Voom may be slightly less than buying DBP and Voom x 2 separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLiles1961 Posted June 3, 2022 Author #13 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Thank you, everyone! I rebooked the Voom package and saved $120. Now we can all fight over the DBP to see if it's worth the price we paid. 😈 :::flees::: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Rogueperson Posted June 3, 2022 #16 Share Posted June 3, 2022 It is actually not a stupid question. I've heard people have booked wrong and paid way too much for wi-fi because of it. They recently revamped that section because before, you would have to pick what plan you wanted (1-4) devices and then pick who wanted to buy it. I"ve heard people get confused, purchased the two device plan, and then when it asked for who wants it, assumed it was users, clicked both, and in essence got charged 2, 2 device wi-fi plans and literally paid double to get what they were getting. This new way is a little more clear, but not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted June 3, 2022 #18 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Not a dumb question at all. Royal's description in the cruise planner is unnecessarily ambiguous. I'm sure many people buy more than they need because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
