bsmith1363 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hello, all! I'm going on my first RC cruise in just a couple weeks (have only been on Carnival previously), and am a little confused about the VOOM internet plans. I hope someone can help me with this, as I'm sure many of you have used it before and will know how it really works. On RC's website, VOOM is offered at $22.95 per day for 2 devices, but "per person" is also shown on the same page, and I'm not quite sure what this means... If I purchased the 2 device plan at $22.95/day, would my girlfriend and I both be able to use separate devices on VOOM at one time, or is this not how it works? We would like to have our phones connected to VOOM so we can communicate when apart from each other on the ship. What would our cheapest option be? Thanks!

Matt Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Welcome! Voom is per device, not per person. So if you buy the 1 device plan, only one device can be logged in at a time. It could be your device or your girlfriend's device. Doesn't matter. As soon as a second device logs in, it will log out the first device. If you want 2 devices to be connected at any one time, then go for the 2 devices plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerel Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 If you have time when you get back tell us how your trip went, we like reading reviews, especially when compared to another line. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Do they have to be the same 2 devices every time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Do they have to be the same 2 devices every time? No, think of it as the number of simultaneous devices that can be logged in at one time. While you're about the ship, you can have your phone connected and the switch to your tablet when you're back in the cabin with the one device plan.

Christie Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Sweet. So there are 6 of us in the cabin. If we get a 2 device plan, it's a login and 2 of us can be on at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 So...the only time you would need to pay for 2 people is if you wanted to be able to have 2 people be online with 2 separate devices at the same time, right ? So they must charge not only by the number of devices that you logged on, but also by the number of login accounts that are logged in simultaneously ? Otherwise, you could pay for 2 devices but just 1 person and both use the same login. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several times my DW would be logged in on both her phone and her tablet and would forget to log off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she was just trying to keep you off the internet. ;) FloatMe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRC Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 No Voom, but there are still per-device packages for the "normal" internet access. You won't stream or Skype, but it is certainly serviceable for mail, FB, etc. usually $20 per day for the first device, $10 more for a second.

michelle Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 yep hoping this in time too will change -logging off is the hardest thing for me to remember too but when I was on the Anthem - it was easy for my roomie and I to toggle between the accounts and not be on at the time times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
