Rare nbsjcruiser Posted October 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hello all, We've purchased internet for 1 device on our upcoming cruise on the Caribbean Princess. I'll use my iPhone for the week but occasionally in our room my wife would like to hop on Facebook for a few minutes each morning. I've created a hotspot on my phone in the past and let her use that to connect to the internet from her laptop - any issues doing this on the ship? Anyone do this in the past? tks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only do it using cellular service which you don’t want to do on the ship. $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I hadn’t realized that was possible. I thought once a device was logged on that was the only device you could use for the week. Great, tks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted October 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 28, 2023 If you have a Google pixel you can use it as a WiFi router, but when you share a connection, things slow down as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the system senses the second device trying to access the internet it will ask you if you want it to disconnect the first. Nothing special that you have to do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
