Though hopefully it isn't something I need to do at the Internet Cafe because that can get crowded.īut has anyone seen the cost of the upgrade change as the date approaches? I haven't but I haven't really paid attention that closely. ![]() Obviously no rush I'll try as the date approaches. So it may just be that the 15% discount hasn't been put in place yet but it will be as we get closer. However, when I try to purchase it, my discount is not applied. I'm still paying ~$2.50 more per day, even with the discount but if that's the biggest price gouge I experience I'll consider myself lucky □ I also happen to be Platinum, so I supposedly get 15% off that amount which brings it down to $148.87. I'm (hopefully) doing a 10 day in October and the upgrade is now $174.90 or $17.49/day. It was ~$85 for 7 days, or about $12/day.

If you skip this on Day 1 and signup at 12:01 am "overnight" on Day 2 while at sea - you will be charged or paying for 6 nights only, subtract your $125 credit and your net cost is $54.94 to be exact - further lowered with a Latitude discount (15% for Platinum, I believe) - now, it's only $46.70 only. ![]() The base unlimited WiFi rate is $29.99 per day (24 hours) x 7 days - less a $125 credit if you received a 250 minutes allowance under the "old" Free At Seas bundle, that's about $85 net. instead of paying ahead & out of pocket by being charged against your credit/debit card. ![]() based on your tier level) and the net amount payable can be offset by any OBC or nonrefundable credits posted to your account.
