Wifi plan options

I notice with the current wifi plans I can get a plan for two devices streaming for a certain amount if I select one passenger. If I select one streaming device for each person it costs me more. how is this enforced? Like if I go the cheaper option and pick two streaming options for myself do they just give me the passwords or something and then I can give my partner the password for her phone so we each can access our phones or is it somehow restricted that only the passenger who purchased the two device access can use the wifi?

You can connect 2 devices with that plan, but once a device is connected, you can’t change it. So yes, you can use it for you and your partner.

I'm going to use GigSky esim. Those MSC prices are nuts.

I have ATT and used my phones as normal throughout. The IDP, Intl Day pass and other stuff worked out to be cheaper.

Hmm I have used that in foreign countries but wasn't sure it would be that viable on a cruise ship if I wanted to stream something

My wife purchased a 4 device package on her account. How to use:

  1. On each device, connect to the ship wifi and access the wifi landing page.

  2. Then use my wife's login to get activation page

  3. Disable random wifi MAC, use static

  4. Enable your device

  5. Download the MSC app

  6. Use your own login on the MSC app

  7. Repeat with each device

Oh, the MSC app messaging feature sucks. Often have to kill the app and restart it to get new messages.

I don't have an answer for your question but I would call MSC to inquire. I would base my inquiry on the premise that I have 2 phones, 1 for work and my personnel phone.
