Does Princess have free Wi-Fi?

Unlimited. Affordable. Now on all ships. MedallionNet Wi-Fi is included in your fare when you book Princess Plus or Princess Premier!



No, Princess Cruises does not offer Wi-Fi for free as a standard inclusion; however, it is bundled into their popular "all-inclusive" packages. Their high-speed internet service, known as MedallionNet, is widely considered one of the best at sea. To access it, guests typically choose the Princess Plus package (which includes Wi-Fi for one device per guest) or the Princess Premier package (which covers up to four devices per guest). If you book a standard "No Frills" fare, you must purchase a Wi-Fi plan separately, which currently costs approximately $15 to $25 per day depending on the number of devices and whether you buy it before the cruise. Platinum and Elite members of the Princess Captain’s Circle loyalty program often receive a discount or a set number of free minutes, but for the average guest, Wi-Fi is a paid service unless selected as part of a pre-paid bundle.
