LynnMariesmom Posted March 6, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Can someone tell me about the WiFi on the dream? Are there packages, can you bring your own computer or just use the labs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted March 6, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yes, there are packages, and yes you can bring your own laptop. If you bring your own, there is a $3.95 set up fee, plus the cost of the packages. By the minute is 75 cents a minute, so you probably dont want to do that.

*Mach* Posted March 6, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 6, 2010 The Dream is a different flavor of beast... The internet access is quite a bit more expensive than it is on other ships... There are 4 plans that you can purchase... Plan 1 is 8 hours for $159 and you get 20 minutes free... price/minute... $.33 Plan 2 is 4 hours for $89 and you get 15 minutes free... price/minute... $.37 Plan 3 is 2 hours for $59 and you get 10 minutes free... price/minute... $.49 Plan 4 is 45 minutes for $29 and you get 5 minutes free... price/minutes... $.64 You can still elect to connect without a plan... price/minute... $.75 plus the $3.95 one time set up fee... With the exception of the Carnival Dream the bandwidth available for ALL passengers to share is 750K. The Dream is quite a bit better at 2.4 megabits. I was able to achieve a download speed of 134 kps. Not too bad, all things considered... :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Schultz Posted March 6, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Actually Internet access is cheaper on Carnival Dream. More bandwith, too. I was pleased. :) The two main packages for cruise 6 days in length or more on OTHER ships: Cruises 6 days in length and longer: 100 minutes for $55.00 ($0.55 per minute) 250 minutes for $100.00 ($0.40 per minute) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Touch will connect (it's just a tiny computer). Technically, the WiFi is free, it is the Internet that costs money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mferris77 Posted March 25, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Well, technically I suppose there is free wifi on board. It's just that if you want to have internet access using the wifi, you have to pay for it. From what I understand, on the dream you can connect to the wifi on the ship for free and get an interactive sort of capers/fun time which shows things like the day's activities, ship's maps, restaurant menus for the day, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
