Celebrity Wifi package

[Dave Simpson]

We are travelling in December and got cruise only.  Can someone who has travelled recently explain the wifi packages post covid.

 

Before Covid, you could buy a package for multiple devices, ie you and your wife could but only one device logged in at a time. That is all we ever needed.

 

Now when i go to purchase, it says "per person" with a discount for multiple devices I assume that means multiple devices at the same time.

 

My question is, can you buy one wifi package and log in and out on multiple devices, ie ipad / laptop / wifes phone etc.

 

Thanks...

Yes, I regularly log in and out of my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook.  So if you and your wife don't need to be on at the same time, just one of you can buy a 1 device package and share it.

I'm hoping someone could please let me know if there is a way to communicate with the person I'm sailing with through the app or would I need to buy a 2 device wifi plan?

You would need a 2 device plan to call your sailing mate.

Thanks:( I was wondering about text messaging on the app.  On MSC you can message through the app.

 Yes, you can text message others on the ship through the app but I believe there may be a daily charge, $1.99 comes to mind, but am not sure if that was on Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, 0r both.

You don't need any plan to communicate through the app with the person you are sailing with.

That's good news! Thanks for your replies. I appreciate it!

One item of note. When you message through the Celebrity app there is no real alert to let you know that a message has arrived. You will have to open the app periodically and check for a message.

There is a messaging feature in the app.   Sometimes it makes a ping when you receive a message other times no.   You do not need an account for this.    I you do have a classic or premium internet you can just use regular messaging

For some reason, I'm remembering we did get notifications back in August on Solstice (unlike the previous year on Silhouette and Apex).

Message history in the Celebrity app disappears when your cruise is over so if you are exchanging contact information to stay in touch after there cruise, you need to transfer it or you’ll lose it.
