Just got a new notebook and

[Leanne3c]

would like to bring it along for the trip. Want to use it to email home and make sure we stay connected with the kids. What do I have to do on board to get wi fi, and can anyone tell me what kind of charges it is a day. Knowing Royal, I.m sure there is a surcharge for the service.

You can set it up in the cabin. They have packages and the more minutes that you purchase, the less expensive it is. I believe if you buy it by the minute, it was something like .55 a minute last week. By the way, all cruise lines charge for internet service. This is not a "Royal" thing.

I hope they have improved the wifi since I sailed (Nov/Dec) as it was very slow. I had my new MAC with me and watched my minutes tick by as pages were struggling to download. A couple of times, I logged on and got so frustrated waiting for it to load, that I clicked off. My bill had probably an extra 20 dollars worth of wifi charges I didn't get a chance to use.

 

If you can stand it, use the little rooms with their own computers. I noticed the room on Deck 9 loaded quicker than the room on Deck 7 btw.

Does Oasis rooms now supply wired ethernet ports ?

One thing you won't get is a safe big enough to keep your new notebook secure. At least in a balcony room or smaller those safes were quite tiny, I dont even think they would fit my 9" netbook which is really small.

I'm not even thinking of stowing my 18" laptop in the safe. It's a given my suitcase will have to be the safe on this trip.
