Rare exm Posted October 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Hi, So I achieved Diamond Status and I'm planning a Wonder sailing next year. My 3 minor kids also achieved Diamond Status due to my status. How does the "free day of internet" work exactly? Would love to use the 5 free days (spouse, myself and 3 kids) to almost get a free week of internet. Just not sure how this can be activated/how this works.

cruisegirl1 Posted October 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) I don’t believe youth benefits include internet. Both you and your wife will receive one day (consecutive 24 hours) each. You can check with the internet desk on board for activation assistance. m Edited October 9, 2023 by cruisegirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just follow the steps to purchase internet, and the info you enter will bring up your discount and you'll "buy" a day of internet for $0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loman Posted October 9, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2023 You can only use one device at at time if you want to stretch it out to 5 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drb116 Posted October 9, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 9, 2023 We do exactly this! We use a travel router in our room and log in each day with one of our accounts and then we all share the internet via the travel router. You need to switch accounts each day since the account set up is tied to a person, but we just use our last name followed by a number, for example smith1, smith2, etc. When we are out and about on the ship, we can only use one log in, but all being able to connect in the room is all we need for the week.

Family members missed out as they were unaware of the internet benefit for kids. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drb116 Posted October 9, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 9, 2023 1 hour ago, Billy Baltic said: Can you recommend a model for this? Sure! I use a TP-Link AC750 Wireless Portable Nano Travel Router, which is about $40 on Amazon. It works well and is pretty simple to set, but the range will only be your cabin. It is hard to find great instructions, but basically you connect to the router's wifi, then go to the routers guided setup page which will have you select the ship's wifi. After connecting to the ship's wifi with the router, you can go to the Zoom login page (logon.com I believe) from any computer or phone connected to the router. The first device connected will be prompted to log in, but once one device has logged in, all the other devices will have the internet without having to go through the log in screen. If you leave the cabin and want to use the wifi, you can switch devices to your phone. Once back in the cabin, you just need to go to logon.com again to reconnect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
