Rare erber Posted June 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) We are going on our first Holland America cruise in November. We are not doing the Have It All promotion as it doesn't work out to make sense for us. We will, however, need to purchase a surf level internet package. I see the package for a 7 day cruise can be purchased in advance for $109.99. If we wait to purchase on board in order to use OBC is it a higher price?

Rare Mary229 Posted June 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 19, 2022 The current discount is that one. They are offering you the premium service for the price of surf if you buy prior to boarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare erber Posted June 19, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted June 19, 2022 So if we wait until after boarding to use OBC it would be the same price but we would get surf instead of the streaming package? Just want to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to make sure. That’s correct. If you are not streaming which probably wouldn’t work that well anyway you will get the same price. They used to offer a first day special but I did see one on my last sailing and I haven’t noted anyone reporting such on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Suzy Posted June 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 19, 2022 The Premium Internet package price is discounted if your pre-purchase it. It is a bit more expensive than the Surf package price when bought onboard. Here are the Internet package prices if bought onboard.

Rare erber Posted June 19, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Anyone ever done an Internet speed test with the surf package to confirm download and upload speeds? If so, it would be useful information for us. We had abysmally poor internet speed both on Royal Caribbean in April in the Caribbean and on Princess in June in Alaska. Yes, I know northern latitude can be iffy, but the Carribean should be fine and the internet was terrible on the Allure of the Seas. (My husband needs to use it periodically for work).

Rare Mary229 Posted June 19, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2022 While in the Caribbean my own cell coverage has always been available plus there are many cafes or better yet hotels that offer internet. That was one of the better things I learned here is booking a hotel resort day pass in the Caribbean. My brother in law is a professional videographer and using hotel services has been his best advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
