Unlimited WIFI--How far into the cruise can you upgrade?

[schmoopie17]

We're booked for a TA cruise with the first eight days being very port intensive. We figure for those days we will be able to access WIFI in the ports. We already have 250 free minutes, but we're wondering if it's possible to upgrade to unlimited halfway through the cruise at a prorated rate before the bulk of sea days start. I realize that people say the WIFI in the middle of the ocean is pretty bad, but it would be better than nothing...especially if our shared 250 minutes have dwindled down.

 

We've also read that people have gotten unlimited WIFI after boarding the ship at a discounted rate, but something tells me that there is a cutoff for opting for unlimited WIFI. Has anyone gotten it several days into a cruise? A couple of other people on our cruise have wondered the same thing, so we're all in the same boat...literally and figuratively.

I believe the discount for "turning in" the unused free-at-sea minutes to upgrade to unlimited is only available on days 1 and 2.  After that there is no credit.  The key, though, is that you can't have activated the free minutes.

We were on the Star in May, on day 4 our free minutes were used up and we asked to be upgradesd to the unlimited package from that day on (10 day cruise) We.could get the package but had to pay the full amount as if it were the first day of the cruise. There was no way around that unfortunately.

Have a great cruise, transatlantics are awesome!
