Carnival Vista - one of two ships where Wi-Fi packages can currently be booked online, pre-cruise
Carnival Cruise Line now offers the opportunity to pre-purchase Wi-Fi packages online prior to sailing. The option is currently available for Carnival Vista and Carnival Fascination, with fleetwide rollout expected by mid-summer.

Booked passengers can select from Carnival’s social, value and premium Wi-Fi packages through the 'manage my booking' tab on carnival.com. When purchasing online, travelers must buy a full-cruise package. Daily packages are available for purchase on board.

The social package provides unlimited access to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Pinterest and other popular sites. The value plan includes unlimited access to the web for checking email, sports scores, weather updates and a wide range of other applications, while the premium package provides the fastest available connection speed and enables access to some streaming video services.

Wi-Fi is the latest amenity available through Carnival’s online pre-purchase system, which also includes steak house and Chef’s Table reservations, spa treatments, shore excursions and beverage packages.
