MSC Cruises
said it made several improvement to the Internet plans aboard its ships,
reducing the cost to as low as $4.50 a day or $16.50 a week.
Passengers
will have a choice of three plans based on how they use the Internet.
A Social
package is for guests primarily using the Internet for social media, to post
pictures or chat with friends. It is the most basic plan priced at $4.50 a day
or $16.50 for a seven-night cruise.
The Surfer
package adds web-page browsing and e-mail to the basic package for $11 a day or
$33 for a seven-night cruise. Up to two devices will have access under this plan.
The
Streamer plan is for full access without limitations at the fastest speed and
includes audio and video streaming. Pricing is $22 a day or $66 per
person for a seven-night cruise.
The new services are now live on the MSC Divina in the Caribbean and the MSC Preziosa, currently deployed in the
western Mediterranean, and will roll out across the entire fleet over the
coming months, MSC said.
