So I was looking at buying Wi-Fi for my upcoming cruise to Norway and I've noticed something peculiar about the pricing structure of those packages. You can buy 1,2,3 or 4 device packages. The 1 device package is $12.59/day, 2 devices is $25.58/day, 3 devices is $35.98/day and 4 devices is $44.76/day. So far so good, makes sense, right? The more you buy the more you save, pretty standard stuff. Not so fast... that's price per device per day! So for 1 device it's $12.59, 2 - $51.16 , 3 - $107.94 and 4 - $179.04!! Amazing stuff
Last time I was on a cruise I signed up for a "social media" internet package. Only allowed sites like Facebook and Twitter. Unlimited data $30/7 day cruise. They didn't care how many devices, as long as only one was logged in at a time.
I have no use for such a package Yes, they don't care how many devices, the n-device package allows n devices to be signed on at the same time. Which is 2 for me as I want my wife you be able to be online at the same time as I am. Nah, I don't think it's an error. If you try to buy the package it wants that much money. They also try to preclude you from buying multiples of 1 device package, but their programmers are inept Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk
The last time I took a cruise, I looked at the prices...and turned off my phone and just enjoyed the vacation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
OK, so upon closer inspection it's not their math, it's their UX. You don't realize when ordering that it's not a one two-device package to be shared by two people but rather a two-device EACH package. Still, ordering 2 single-device packages is cheaper than a single 2-device package (although the difference is more like 1.5%) -- go figure
