| HAL revamps wi-f

HOLLAND America Line is
trialling new internet plans,
including a new cheaper option
which limits access to eight social
media sites including Facebook,
Instagram and LinkedIn.
HAL’s Westerdam is at this
stage the only vessel to offer the
“social” plan which costs just
US$5 for 24 hours or US$25 for a
seven day voyage, according to a
post on the Cruise Critic website.
Other options include the
“Enhanced” plan ($16 per day
or $60 for the voyage) which
excludes Skype and Spotify, as
well as “Premiere” ($25 for 24
hours, $99 for the voyage) which
includes full coverage.
HAL is also trialling some “last
day” plans for pax wanting to
make onward arrangements,
costing $12 for 30 min access
