P&O Cruises, the UK focused contemporary market unit in the Carnival Corporation & plc group, says it has introduced improved WiFi packages across all its seven ships, offering guests the chance to stay better connected, at a lower cost, during their holidays.
Paul Ludlow, P&O Cruises’ senior vice president, said in a statement: “People are used to accessing anything at a touch of a button or swipe of a screen 24/7 and this doesn’t change just because they are on holiday.
“We’ve listened to feedback and have invested significantly in the service to offer packages which are not only great value but also flexible. Guests can now choose a package which works best for them based on their needs and how they normally use the internet. Guests can purchase satellite internet credit before they sail or purchase their package at any time during the cruise.”
Forming part of P&O Cruises Stay Connected service, the all-new satellite internet packages are always on, so passengers have internet 24/7*. Three great value packages now available are:
The Connect Package – £7.75 for 24 hrs
A simple way to stay in touch with family and friends through social networks. Includes internet messaging and social media.
The Browse Package – £12.50 for 24 hours
Browse as usual (with the exception of video streaming), plus email and social networks. Includes web browsing, email, internet messaging and social media.
The Works – £24.95 for 24 hours
Stream YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music, video call, browse, email, and share via social networks. Includes YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music streaming services, web browsing, internet messaging, email and social media.
Whether it’s a laptop, tablet, smartphone, eReader or one of the on-board computers, the internet packages are simple and easy to use. Guests connect to the Wi-Fi and type ‘login.com’ into the browser, follow the on screen instructions, complete their details and choose an internet package.
Packages can be purchased on a day by day or whole cruise basis, with the opportunity to upgrade between packages at anytime.,The new Wi-Fi packages complement other ways for staying in touch including mobile and cabin phones. Cabin phones can be used to call other cabins on-board as well as friends and family back home and charges are added to on-board accounts, the company said.
