How Much Does Crew Wi-Fi Cost On The Cruise Ship?

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Active Royal Caribbean crew member Chris Wong explains the costs and limitations of internet access for ship employees. He clarifies that crew members must pay for Wi-Fi, though they access different packages than guests via the Voom service. Wong details several available options, including a 60-minute plan for 24 hours at 4 dollars and a larger monthly package providing 1,800 minutes for 90 dollars. He notes that crew internet is significantly slower than guest internet, making tasks like uploading YouTube videos difficult. The creator explains that connectivity quality varies by location, noting that while service is reliable in the Caribbean, it can be non-existent near Alaskan glaciers. The video also transitions into a vlog documenting his personal life during port days, including visiting the Gum Wall in Seattle, exploring Pike Place Market, and watching a movie in Victoria, Canada. He concludes by sharing advice on maintaining professional friendships while working on different ships and mentions an upcoming US immigration check during a turnaround day in Seattle.
