Can I check my email at home from the QM2.

Sure, if you buy one of the internet packages.

Many thanks. I'm a gold level Cunard Club member so that plan should be

enough time to check occasionally.

If you're bringing a laptop, first install an offline email client such as Mozilla Thunderbird to allow you to connect only as long as it takes to download your new messages and upload any message you may have composed. You can easily stretch your Gold World Club connect time to cover your voyage using a program like this.

Can I check my email at home from the QM2.

 

At $3.95 per email, it's cheaper to use a standard email address rather than the QM2 one.

I don't want to send or receive mail.... just want to be able to check in and delete all the spam, etc.... so I don't arrive home to 700 messages.

Possible ???

Gwen, are you talking about a regular email address or a specific Cunard address?

 

I have a yahoo email address, and on the ship I access yahoo and check all my emails with no problems. I send and receive as well as delete spam.

Yes.. I'm just talking about my gmail and roadrunner a/cs. Don't care to

communicate while on board unless I have to!

 

Many thanks again.

In that case you will have no trouble accessing it. You get to it through a browser. Go to a friend's house and practise on their computer if you are unsure how to do it on any computer but your own.

 

I use the free internet access that I'm given as a gold member. I also go to internet cafes in ports, as it is cheaper there. If there's free wifi in the port itself, I take my laptop out and sit with all the crew members to check it out.
