4ensic 180 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) The cost of Surf and Stream has dropped for at least 2 cruises. For the President's Cruise (09-29) on the Harmony, Surf and Stream is down to $10.79 a day. The Symphony T/A (10-28), Surf and Stream is $11.99 daily. Check your Cruise Planners, fellow propellerheads and save some coin. Update: Still active for these cruises, possibly more, as of August 24.

Alex 0 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Can you make phone calls with this package or just text to home... USA? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Voom is a data plan and doesn't allow directly for calling or texting on its own. If your phone can do Internet calling, this package will provide it. But for the majority of phones you need a Voice Over IP (VOIP) app like Skype, Viber, or WhatsApp. If you use a MagicJack or an Ooma for your home phone, the respective app will work fine with your home number. For texting, the free Google Voice numbers work well, also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It depends on your phone and carrier. Voom is a wifi plan only, much like you may have at home with your wifi router. Many US based post-paid cell phones support wifi calling (TMobile, Verizon, ATT, Sprint, etc). Right now at home I can turn on airplane and connect to my home wifi, then place calls just like I can when airplane mode is off. If you can do the that, at home, right now, you are all set. If not you can talk to your cell phone provider or use a wifi calling app such as those that @4ensic mentioned. I found Magicjack to work, but not great compared to my native TMobile wifi calling capable phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonereno 8 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Agreed... go check it out, folks! My cruise (Allure, Sept 16) just dropped the price from $15.99 a day to $11.99 a day. I just had checked the price yesterday. Both offers listed it as a 20% discount, which makes it appear that they've dropped the base price. I'm booking mine right now just in case it's a glitch. Good stuff!!!! Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn T. 91 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 I just checked my upcoming Harmony cruise for the internet price. It is on sale for $19.99 per day for 2 devices. I don't think I have ever seen the 2 device plan that low (but I could be wrong). We are diamond plus. Is this cruise planner sale today better than buying onboard with the DP discount? I was planning to wait until day 2 onboard per @twangster's suggestion, but now I don't know if that is the best price. Please help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about the D+ discount factor (you have to wait for @twangster to chime in on that one) but it is never $19.99/day for 2 devices. I would grab it now and then cancel it later if needed.

Marc Van Niekerk 248 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Just locked in 11.99 VOOM for Symphony in Feb 2019! (used incognito too) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RachelLevena 6 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Also getting the "Something Went Wrong" page, but I am still able to log into cruise planner. No discount on VOOM though, showing as $15.99 per day for Brilliance March 2019. Currently I'm just hoping for Black Friday deals for deluxe beverage and VOOM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 10,933 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Saved $30 on my Voom for my upcoming Brilliance cruise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ellcee 1,507 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Mine went down to $11.99 which is pretty good. Also the deluxe drink plus voom is at a very decent price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was planning to wait until day 2 onboard per @twangster's suggestion, but now I don't know if that is the best price. Please help. The two device plans are harder to calculate because there can be greater variance on-board. Based on what I have have captured in the past, the two device plan on-board is often $18.99 per device for Surf and Stream, full voyage. That's $37.98 for two devices total. Consequently getting it for $19.99 total including two devices in the cruise planner is pretty close to the 50% off on-board prices they are suggesting in the cruise planner and a very good deal. Just make sure you only apply it to one person. If you select both people when checking out you are actually buying two, two device plans for a total of four devices. For an upcoming 9 night cruise with my friend's daughter I am buying it at this price and saving $115 versus on-board using D+ discount. Dawn T. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn T. 91 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thanks so much @twangster! This is exactly the type of help I was hoping for. You are awesome! Also, a big thanks to @4ensic the for the initial tip on the prices! It is $19.99 per day for 2 devices on my next 2 cruises, so I'm going to book for both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KLA 1,813 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Awesome - looks like I'll get about $11 in savings by re-purchasing for my next sailing. Drink packages look like they are where I purchased them over the last sale. Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
melski94 808 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 @4ensic Thanks for the heads up! I checked out my 3 cruises. November cruise has Voom for 1 device at $10.79 and 4 devices $29.99! Booked that one as I don't think I've ever seen a better price! March cruise Voom for 1 device is $15.99 and 4 devices $54.36. Haven't bought that one yet. May cruise Voom for 1 device is $15.99. I'm waiting on this one too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boston Babe 844 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Mine was $10.79 I don’t think it will get any less than that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
