StillLooking4Adventure Posted May 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2023 My upcoming 12 night cruise will be the first time I only have basic wifi and drink packages. Previously I always had the "indulge" premium package Elite and I have the pricing for a pre-cruise upgrade for both. The drink package is fairly easy to decide since I know we normally drink 3 martini's in the Martini bar a day that cost more than the upgrade cost. The WiFi is more difficult to decide since I don't know if the basic package will be good enough for my usage of uploading to Facebook and checking emails and web browsing. I don't stream movies although I might watch some YouTube. My question is: Does anyone know how much they charge to upgrade the WiFi while on board? Is it pro-rated for how many days are left on the cruise? The cost pre-cruise is $96 each. I also could just upgrade mine and not my wifes since she doesn't upload to Facebook. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare keesar Posted May 3, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I was able to combine the pre-cruise discount listed in My Reservation and my Elite status discount. Cost was about $63 for a 7 day. I had to call Celebrity to get that discount. You can also upgrade onboard and it will be prorated but not at the pre-cruise rate. Even with the Premium plan, you may not be able to get to certain sites due to location in the world. I really struggled with CC and FaceTime with the upgraded plan at times.

I have had very few issues, none of which were not fixed by logging out and logging back into the ship’s WiFi, with CC, YouTube, NetFlix on our cruise.

On the Solstice and Millie, with premium, down rarely exceeds 2mbps unless it's very late at night or early in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those download speeds, except for one on 4/22 are all above 4.0Mbps and my upload speeds are all above 2.0 Mbps except again the one on 4/22.
