Worn out mailman Posted March 27 #1 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Hi everybody. I'm toying around with the idea of booking a solo sailing on Emerald this May 20th. When going thru the booking process, P.com is not offering me the Plus or Premium packages which would cover my wifi. Can any of you tell me the ala carte price for one device? The website says starting at $24.99. If that's per day, then obviously that's a no. RCCL was outrageous for the per day cost of wifi so, nothing will surprise me. Thanks anyone in advance for your insights. Rob. Edited March 27 by Worn out mailman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, just know that the $24.99 is correct but it is for one device AT A TIME, not just for one device. Last cruise, we used that option and switched on and off which device between my phone, my husband's phone, and my husband's iPad. It worked easily and with no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something doesn't sound right there...you should *always* be able to book Plus or Premier when booking. Unless the infamous Princess IT has dropped the ball again...those upgrade screens are totally "in your face".

arizonaperson Posted March 27 #4 Share Posted March 27 (edited) @Worn out mailman yes Internet only is $24.99 per day, per voyage ,per person for 1 device at a time. unless you are platinum or elite which I don’t think you are or you would know about it and it’s 50% off of that price. As others have said, wait to get onboard to add perhaps the plus package $60.00/ person per day. if that fits your budget.

I assumed that an IT glitch had struck because otherwise the site and app push those options and he would have had no trouble at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus is pretty much a no brainer even if one doesn't drink much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Emerald had a pizza/pasta casual dining place like the newest ships. I also wish they'd throw in one more night of casual dining for a 10 nighter compared to a 7 nighter. Still, one or maybe two drinks a day plus enjoying speciality coffee drinks, water for the islands and free delivery service.....those incidentals pile up. I need to get a girlfriend so I don't have to keep doing these cruises solo. Thanks for your input. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck that's 2 alcoholic drinks...not to mention specialty coffees, sodas, water. Best deal at sea, imo. Edited March 29 by KKB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted March 29 #9 Share Posted March 29 You most definitely can book the plus or premier fare as a solo. I have done it on a cruise which I just disembarked and for a bunch of future cruises. On the internet version the selection is right there as you go through the process. I don't know where to find it on the app version. A T.A. can also book these fares. You can also book the standard fare and upgrade to the plus or premium fare on boarding day. Staff are all around the ship selling upgrades. I believe the stand alone internet package is $25/day if you purchase all days in the cruise. There is a 50% discount for platinum and elite loyalty members. A single day is $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
