Rare horseymike Posted October 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Hi everyone, We have a cruise coming up on the Equinox , Southern Caribbean itinerary on Nov. 30. The offer to upgrade from standard Wi-Fi to premium is $7.00 per day. ( We already have the standard ) Is it worth it ? Is the texting that it allows dependable ?

ymncruise Posted October 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I think so. I like having fast internet and being able to make wifi calls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lena11033 Posted October 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I would do it. I like having premium wifi but that's because I facetime my husband (and dogs) while away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted October 19, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Yes as you can't use CC without it. How else would CookieGate 2.0 get started unless you're able to take a pic and post it on CC? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bjahil47 Posted October 19, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 19, 2023 We had premium a few weeks ago on Equinox and it was just ok. Could not use it on the balcony and I could not watch a live webinar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywildcatfanone Posted October 19, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 19, 2023 It's a bit spotty onboard now, but basic would be unusable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would get it but also watch for sales around Black Friday. I got it for my Nov 22 cruise for 2.99 upgrade per day over Labor Day sale Edited October 19, 2023 by bikerunner 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium wifi for us was excellent. Perhaps location of the cabin mattered? We were deck 11, few cabins after mid elevators. I also noticed an Aruba Networks Router/Extender installed on the wall over the TV in the room. Had not noticed that in previous cruises. Doing work on the balcony was not a problem at all. I am thinking that this may not have been installed in every cabin? Previously that premium wifi was not good. But we had a great experience this cruise.

We were on Deck 11 midship in a RS. Do not recall seeing any wifi extender in room. My husband would have seen it and said something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
