CruiserBruce Posted September 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Seriously doubt it. But the best place for your research is the RCI board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted September 6, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2013 No. Internet is a profit center on cruise ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are in the casino - right next to the slot machines which pay off every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never want to use a smartphone to email, surf the net or text message on a ship. If you do, you'll come home to a huge phone bill. Savvy cruisers turn off data roaming because if you don't, you'll incur charges of $2.49 a minute not including any data downloading charges every time you turn on your phone. Text messages are $.50 to send and $.05 to receive. Your best bet is to bring a laptop, compose your emails off line, and send them using the ships wifi. You can purchase a block of minutes for a set price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 7, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2013 There is no "free" internet of any kind on the ships.....you may be able to access wi-fi, but you will have to pay to get the password to access it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted September 7, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Internet service on most cruise ships (including those of RCI) costs between 75-40 cents per minute...and that is for slow service. You can buy packages and the more minutes you buy the lower the cost per minute...but it still will be nearly 50 cents a min unless you spend hundreds of dollars. The Oasis only does short 7 day cruises and there are plenty of free WiFi spots in all the ports (except the private islands). Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
