Free wifi at Sydney cruise terminal?

[lorri111]

Is there free wifi now at Sydney Cruise terminal (I know there wasn't a couple of years ago) - hoping to use it rather than my minimal data on my phone when I check in and have to show digital boarding pass in Princess Medallion

[Jean C]

I'm interested in the reply - especially since using the Princess Medallion to board needs wifi (unless you take screen shots of the relevant pages)

If not already answered by the 3rd of February (for the Overseas Passenger Terminal), I'll try to remember to check it out when we're they're for the day on our upcoming (and first, actually) cruise.

Just screenshot it. It's much easier to just open a screenshot than to try to get the idiotic Princess app to co-operate.

There is free wifi at several locations by the Quay.

Just remember, nothing is truly free, you will get spam emails from using so called free wifi.

If you were to arrive at the OPT with just your passport  and nothing else ie phone,  paper work etc you will still be checked in after a quick search on their computer.Yes it makes it easier for the them if you have “ the app “ but not necessary, plenty of guests check in without it. Everything is already in their system.

How true!

We usually have screen shots and paperwork as backup for overseas trips, but we are normally fine in Australia. Our phone plans have pretty good coverage all over Australia.

There is no wifi at the actual terminal, but if you walk down to Circular Quay, there is wifi there.  You can sit with a cup of coffee at any of the restaurants and use the free wifi.

The OP would like WI-FI in the terminal for check-in, so no to be using mobile data.

 

As Julie has mentioned above, just take a screen shot of your boarding pass. Open the image from your gallery and they can scan that for a quick check-in. Works a treat,

Your names also work.

Yes, I did know that, but thought the info on free wifi at Circular Quay might be useful for others.

Just wondering, if you have a ship's wifi package , would this extend coverage to into the terminal ? Cheers, Buzz.

You don't need an internet package to connect the app to the ship wi-fi. I could get the ships' wifi signal in the terminal, but it wouldn't let me log-in to their network until after we had checked-in.
