Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise Wi-Fi is expensive, and Cunard is no exception. On land, we take cheap, fast internet for granted. But at sea, once you're away from the coast, internet has to come by satellite.

Cunard's Wi-Fi is currently powered by Starlink, and in my experience, it's reliable and fast, even in the middle of the Atlantic. And that's pretty remarkable if you stop and think about it.

The biggest saving is often buying fewer days in the first place. So, if you haven't pre-purchased your Wi-Fi, think carefully before buying it the moment you get on board.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid buying Wi-Fi on embarkation day to save a full day's charge.

✓Use the complimentary one-hour Wi-Fi strategically on busy days.

✓Use mobile data or eSIMs while in port, but always switch to airplane mode before the ship sails.

✓Pre-purchase Wi-Fi through My Cunard up to 4 days before sailing to get a 10% discount.

✓Consider 24-hour passes tactically for sea days rather than buying a full voyage package if you don't need constant access.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Expensive Wi-Fi costs — Use strategies like skipping embarkation day, using the free hour, and utilizing mobile data in port to reduce the number of paid days.

Complexity of Wi-Fi packages — Be honest about your needs; choose Essential for messaging/email and Premium only if you need streaming or video calls.
