Free Wireless

[Debb0223]

On the Infinity are there any free wireless spots to hook up to my Nook with?

[mrpacker03]

As far as i know, there isn't any free internet on any of the ships. It starts at $.75 per minute. You can get bundles of minutes for less depending on how many minutes you pre buy.

In General you follow the rule....Nothing is Free on a cruise ship.

 

Enjoy...

It is only free if you are at different levels in the Captain's Club. Otherwise you will have to wait until you get to a port with a location that has free wireless. you will not find it on the ship Sorry

Your Nook? I am assuming its an abbreviation of net or note and book.

 

I guess you are not a Brit as we have a word here, a colloquialism actually that means something entirely different. Put it this way, an old female friend of mine once asked the water for it because she couldn't pronounce gnochci.

A Nook is an e-reader -- similar to a Kindle -- neither a notebook nor a netbook. You can download books and magazines onto it.

If the OP's Nook is a Nook Color, it is indeed a tablet.....albeit a small one. I have one and love it.

Download your books before you leave. If you are cruising outside of the United States, you cannot download books. I just returned from Europe. Many sites on my IPAD were only available within the US. So if there is a book you want, download them before you leave.

You may download from anwhere in the world to your Nook but you may not buy from Barnes and Noble from outside the States. You may buy and download from Amazon.

Last fall (I think) Barnes & Noble introduced the Nook Tablet. It's got a lot more memory and some more functions than a Nook Color but it's very similar in appearance. It connects very easily to ship wifi (for a price). Now that I don't need to lug along my laptop for business, it's great for keeping in touch at home.

We swore we would never buy the X internet package again after the experience we just had on the Equinox. The satellite link is so slow and the ship's software so convoluted and wasteful of prepaid minutes that the effective usable minutes rate is obscene. We'll just take a minute to check in at a port internet cafe and save a bundle of $$$ next cruise. Your mileage may vary.

Nook is Barnes and Nobles version of a Kindle....

Unless you want to download a new book to be added to your "Nook", you don't need internet service just to read your Nook. Download books before your cruise to avoid internet services.

We learned that hard lesson as well and then we found out how to do everything off-line for emails etc. Log on - download - log off then compose emails off line - log on - send - log off!! Saved surfing for the free WiFe at the ports and had to blow minutes big time the last day:D Use em or lose em

[In Range]

We lost a lot of time with the server taking forever or never being able to connect to a mail site. Just sitting there grinding away the minutes while the little wheel spins and spins and spins.

Bought a nook color--it is an e-reader with limited tablet capabilities--bought a n2a card for $35--allows you to boot both into nook color and to an android 2.3 tablet--get books and apps from kindle amazon and google--If interested just google n2a card and see if you want to upgrade

We docked next to one of the high end all inclusive ships in Turkey. I sat on my balcony early evening using their wifi.

Great idea!!

[Debb0223]

Great idea is right! I love my nook but actually I DO know that nothing on a cruise ship is Free - LOL!

[firstplacechef]

Mine worked when we were docked in ports, but not at sea.

Thank you for clearing that up. I had thought it was a combination of net and book =n ook, but I now understand it to be another kindle like device.
