How much is Royal Caribbean internet per day?

Royal Caribbean wifi cost – Surf + Stream Package This package allows for up to four devices and costs around $26 per day if purchased onboard.



In 2026, the cost of Royal Caribbean’s VOOM internet (powered by Starlink) typically ranges from $22 to $35 per day per device. The price varies based on the specific ship, the length of the cruise, and most importantly, whether you buy it before you sail. If you purchase the "VOOM Surf + Stream" package through the Royal Caribbean app at least 2 weeks before your embarkation, you can often find "Buy One, Get One 50% Off" deals or flat discounts that bring the daily rate down to around $19 to $24. If you wait until you are physically on the ship, expect to pay the "rack rate" of approximately $29.99 to $34.99 per day. They also offer multi-device packages (2 or 4 devices) which significantly lower the "per device" cost, often down to $15–$18 per day when shared among a family. It is important to note that you cannot "log in" to multiple devices simultaneously with a single-device plan; you must log out of one to use another. For those who only need basic messaging, the Royal Caribbean app allows for free guest-to-guest "App Chat," which can save you the internet fee if you only need to stay in touch with your travel party on the ship.
