It’s only been a couple weeks since Norwegian Cruise Line launched More at Sea and they’re already making changes! We first shared this cruise news on X. Norwegian Cruise Line has made a quiet update to More at Sea that should have been part of the program when it was first launched. Let’s take a look at the More at Sea Wifi change.
What Is More at Sea
For a complete look at Norwegian Cruise Line’s new all-inclusive package option, check out our article on More at Sea. We detail every single component, and the changes between the line’s previous option Free at Sea. The post breaks down cost and inclusion changes, and provides our perspective on the change. You can also check out our full breakdown of More at Sea on YouTube.
More at Sea Wifi Change Weeks After Launch
Just a couple weeks after launch, there’s already a More at Sea Wifi change. When More at Sea was first announced, the cruise line eliminated a Wifi perk for those sailing 12+ night cruises. Under the prior program, those cruisers received 300 minutes per person. Under More at Sea? Wifi was cut in half to just 150 minutes for a 12+ night cruise. More at Sea was definitely Less at Sea for those cruisers booking longer voyages.
Sometime over the weekend, Norwegian quietly updated materials on their website to reflect that they have reinstituted the 12+ night option under More at Sea. Cruisers on longer voyages will once again receive 300 minutes!
Interestingly enough, Norwegian Cruise Line did not update the More at Sea flyer last edited date. It appears that the cruise operator doesn’t want to draw a lot of attention to this change. Considering the negative feedback shared when More at Sea was first announced, it appears that the cruise line doesn’t want to draw even more attention to the fact that they’ve made this change. Instead, it now simply appears this was always the case.
The Internet Always Knows
Of course, you can check out any of the online reviews that were posted when More at Sea was first launched to confirm that, indeed, the 12+ night option of 300 minutes went away under More at Sea. Additionally, you can read message boards or Facebook groups where cruisers complained about this change many times. Or, you can just look at the file name of the updated flyer to see that, indeed, Norwegian Cruise Line updated the More at Sea flyer in January. The Internet always knows!
Final Thoughts
The More at Sea Wifi Change updates the bundled program in a welcome way. It’s something the program should have included at its launch. Undoubtedly, someone in Finance at headquarters thought, “I have a great way to get guests on longer cruises to upgrade to more expensive wifi: give them less of it!” This approach made More at Sea truly not more, but rather less.
We’re happy to see NCL reverse course on this change, even if quietly. What do you think about More at Sea? Do you think the More at Sea Wifi change is a good one or do you skip the internet altogether when you cruise? Let us know in the comments!
