i usually communicate with family via facebook on my iphone

but last time on holiday it cost me a fortune

dont want to make the same mistake

I would say any of the ships of Thomson are not going to be cheap but all around the same price,

so I would wait until on land which is just about every day unless you were crossing the Atlantic .

 

As a guide in what to expect the prices on the Majesty ranged from 15 mins (25MB limit) for £4 up to 180 minutes for £18

depending on which internet plan you chose.

From what I got told of the people who did use it the speed was very poor onboard the ship . Hope that helps:)

Wait until you are ashore. Ask the crew where the best place to get free wi-fi is in port.

[geomagot]

plenty of free wifi in ports

 

heres a few that I know of, with good fast signal:

 

antigua, diamonds international

grenada, cruise terminal

st vincent, Pilipino restaurant in the cruise terminal

barbados, cruise terminal

aruba, starbucks in radisson hotel

curacao, sea aquarium beach

st lucia, rum shop/bars in port seraphine shopping area

margarita.....none!

 

you don’t have to go in most of wifi works outside the above places…look for/follow the crew

 

hope this helps

Hi, im just back from the dream and this was my only complaint of the whole week the WIFI is awful..expensive £10 for an hr and slow i used most of the hour trying to get it to load,

save ur money..because.....we found that most beaches , Tobago, st lucia, barbados, grenada , st,vincent had free wifi!!! so we spent loads of time skyping our kids from the beaches watching the snow fall in the uk whilst they looked at our fantastic sunshine.!!!!!

 

save ur money..wait for the beach/port x

As has been said,just look out for the crew,you will see them all gathered with their laptops in various ports and outside restaurants.
