Rare colesc15 Posted April 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Next month we have our first ever 3 day cruise. My plan is to use my diamond internet day when we set sail, then use my wife's the next 24 hours, leaving us only missing one day of internet. Dumb question, but I've always bought the internet ahead of time, for that one day, basically the last day of the cruise, how do I purchase the one day of internet and use my diamond/prime status discount for the $20 or whatever it is per day?

soremekun Posted April 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2023 To use the diamond discount, you will need to purchase the internet package onboard via the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can buy a single day, however, I don't think you can apply the diamond discount if you've already used your free day. @twangster can confirm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - you get a free day OR a discount towards a Voom plan purchased onboard the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OCSC Mike Posted April 6, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 6, 2023 You probably want to use one of your free days and then use the discount for a "rest of cruise" package for the next 2 days. You can play with the math once onboard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topnole Posted April 6, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 6, 2023 You might be able to get by with just two days. Maybe try skipping internet the first night (use cell service until the ship sails and then enjoy the evening unconnected). Then use free day starting day 2 morning. Then again on day 3. When you wake up on you’ll be disembarking so you’ll have cell service again. Or you could just skip internet on day 2 if you’ll be in port a lot (and it is a Saturday so why not disconnect for a day). Just a thought. I’ve never done this, but I probably would if didn’t need Internet the first night or on a Saturday for some particular reason. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted April 6, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 6, 2023 You can use both (1 on the 1st or 2nd day, and the other on the last day) as long as you use a unique user name for each and don't mind being bounced off when your spouse wants to use the internet. The other option is to use one credit on the first day, the second credit on the second day, and then purchase one for the last day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeySailor Posted April 6, 2023 #12 Share Posted April 6, 2023 54 minutes ago, colesc15 said: I wonder if my prime discount would work for one day. Yes but 30% off cost Our experience having asked the Voom desk support people. My DD had to use all her D+ freebie 1st then go to Voom desk and they applied the Prime discount as a credit for the remainder of the journey against what she purchased for one day So on a four day cruise Day 1 (Didn’t use) Day 2 D+ ($24.99) Free Day 3 D+ ($24.99) Free Day 4 Prime 30% Discount ($7.99) I kind of remember them explaining it can only be done this way when Diamond coupons are also used That may be old news, but was valid when this occurred Nov 2022 YMMV Happy Days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call and talk to them! Just off Allure and their internet was not great during our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, the period starts when you first login so it makes no sense to start it at midnight unless you are going to be up all night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisers might want to be cautious on that. Once you board, HIGHLY advised to go into airplane mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FionaMG Posted April 6, 2023 #17 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I have also encountered a situation where they put the cost of the internet up (quite subtantially) on the last day of the cruise, probably because they knew lots of people would be wanting it to check in for their flights home. If we had known in advance that they might do this, we would have purchased the second last day (2 sea days on the way back) and used our free day for the last day.

The Fun Researcher Posted April 6, 2023 #18 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) New to Diamond and sorry to hitchhike, but how to you access a free day of Internet on a device?

Every cruise its changed at midnight until this one, radiance I got off today. Lol 2 am it changed. Had to wait 2 extra hours. They are on to me. I have the price for what 2 days and 2 days discount, diamond plus. 39.99, went down to 15.99 I seem to remember paying for just one day. Paying for the one day minus my discount for 2 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same place that should come up asking do you want to log in or use the app for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always use T-Mobile service while in port (sailaway port or others). Never any charges. I just don’t get any internet inside of the ship other than top deck or near windows in restaurants and such. There I apply airplane mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
