Wi-Fi Question

[trurocruiser]

I see that the Wi-Fi is priced by device. If I wanted to use my iPhone and iPad. If I sign out of my iPhone and log in to the iPad, will that still count as one device. I won’t have both logged in at the same time.

 

thanks!!

Yes.  No need to log out.  It will warn you that another device is logged in and give you the option to disconnect that device.

Yup - it's one device at a time.  Unlike some other cruise lines that flag your account to a particular device and ONLY that device can log in (I think I've read this somewhere, I don't recall which line it was).

Great thank you for the quick response. We leave on the Escape 12/22 and can’t wait! First time cruising over Christmas.🎄

BAD advice.  ALWAYS log out or you will use up all of your minute quickly.

True, make sure you log out each time.

Doesn’t matter if you have the unlimited plan.

Unless they bought unlimited...

We upgraded to the free at see plus with unlimited Wi-Fi. But that is a very good point.

nope. the advice was absolutely correct... and could actually save minutes ,not waste them..

 

the OP asked about switching from one device to another. and the advice given was correct.

 

if you are switching from one device to another, there is no need to log out of the first device. the second device will recognize you and ask if you want to log out of the first device. say yes and you'll be automagically logged into the second device and no longer connected to the first device. and, since NCL does not give credit for partially used minutes and charges you the full minute, signing in and out in this manner could actually save minutes, if your login occurs at just the right time.

 

once you're done using the internet, you should absolutely sign out, yes. 

 

but that's a different issue than what was being discussed above.

This is what we do to save $$ on our cell phone bill & use the WiFi on 2 different devices; since DW & I each have WiFi minutes (we do NOT upgrade to unlimited) we use ONE cell phone (mine) to connect to WiFi using MY minutes.  We turn her cell off completely ( we tell the kids to call us on MY phone in an emergency) & just use mine.  We connect the iPad to HER WiFi minutes.  This way we don't have to switch devices.

 

Just a suggestion.  Have a great cruise!

MSC is the only line I can think of that does this.
