What's the deal with the "premium" Yacht Club internet access?

[LoungerOnBalcony55]

I'd think that would mean the browse + stream option, but I've seen some posts confusingly claiming that's not the case. 

 

Any recent YC pax have any details on this?

On the website it specifies Surf. 

• Premium Internet package (Browse - 2 devices Unlimited Internet Package)

What actually happens…well, that will be a surprise. 🤷‍♂️

It's the BROWSE package.  On some ships, or when in the US market, the wifi is very good, strong & steady.  In Europe it can be spotty.

Its supposed to be the browse package but on my last two YC sailings (Grandiosa around Med and Virtuosa to Norway) I have used streaming services like youtube. so YMMV. I have not tried things like Netflix or Disney+ etc which may be the things they actually block for streaming and they ignore youtube/twitch/tik tok.

It was the Browse package on Seascape.  But we had no issue streaming or video chatting on the wifi. I see no reason to upgrade.

I guess if the services are equivalent it doesn't matter. Otherwise that would seem kinda cheap...they don't give you the low-end drink package.

While on this topic....how does one log into the internet?  I assume you need the app.  Do you log in with your booking number?  Do you need any other info?  Go to airplane mode (like NCL)?

With whatever package they give you with YC bookings, is that the top package on the ship?

Apparently not...

I went to the MSC website and found this (not that it means that's the reality onboard).

 

And.... SORRY... I meant to originally ask about the DRINK package (details, details, lol)

 

 

What drink package is included in the Yacht Club Experience?

 

The Premium Extra Package is included for all cruises booked with the Yacht Club.

In keeping with the inconsistency issues, in my booking for our Seaside cruise later this month it includes the following under the YC benefits:

 

Premium Extra Drink Package (includes all drinks up to 13 in all ship areas)

 

I'm not sure what "13" is, but even if it's Euros, that only means something like $14. Oh well !
