Cruisingfamilyx10 Posted December 31, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I want to bring an iPad, not computer - do the rooms provide internet(with cable) or is everything wireless? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I want to bring an iPad, not computer - do the rooms provide internet(with cable) or is everything wireless? There is no wired or wireless in Jewel staterooms. Jewel has about a half-dozen WiFi hotspots about the ship, so you would have to take the ipad to a hotspot to get internet access. You would also have to purchase an internet package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisingfamilyx10 Posted December 31, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Thanks! Is there a list of where these locations are? Edited December 31, 2014 by Cruisingfamilyx10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 31, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks! Is there a list of where these locations are? Once you get on the ship, you can usually get the list at Guest Services and also where the guest PC's are. These are both on deck 4, near the centrum.

PCWalton1 Posted January 1, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I realize they do not have shipwide wifi on Jewel so I will be limited in reporting for our three cruises this year. Does anyone know what wifi package they offer? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisingfamilyx10 Posted January 1, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) I don't know how current this posting was, but here's some info I found: Internet charges on Jewel of the Seas whether accessed on the ships workstations or via guests wireless enabled devices are as follows: A flat rate of $0.65 per minute or pre-paid packages which reduce the per minute fee as follows: 60 minutes = $35 or $0.58 per minute 100 minutes = $55 or $0.55 per minute 150 minutes = $75 or $0.50 per minute 250 minutes = $100 or $0.40 per minute 500 minute = $150 or $0.30 per minute An Internet Early Bird Special between 7.00am to 9.00am is also available at $0.44 per minute. http://www.cruiseastute.com/ship.php?ship=Jewel%20Of%20The%20Seas&feature=technology Edited January 1, 2015 by Cruisingfamilyx10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 1, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'd be surprised if they are still on the old "per minute" pricing. Explorer still has not gotten pervasive wireless, but has gone to the unlimited plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted January 1, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 1, 2015 We got off the Jewel on 12/6/14, and the wifi was offered in packages only, with the cheapest being $29.95 for 60 minutes. Most locations in the Centrum area (library, outside the Concierge Lounge, etc.) had good reception. It wasn't, speedy, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcur Posted January 1, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Peggy, do you recall if there were any unlimited packages offered? I think yes, Bob. I had to scroll down to find the 60 minute package that we both got free, and I know there was a $249 package, so I'll assume that was unlimited. I saw the same thing on the Vision in July and August, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeySailor Posted February 23, 2015 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) INTERNET ONLINE PC's (Deck 7) + (Deck 4) + (Deck 5) RC computers the norm. We disconnect when on vacation, so I have no feedback on speeds and if you could stream video etc... We use our free minutes if we needed ( D+ 60 minutes each) typically when in port, it's slow but suits our needs. PC,s were slow but for our needs, good enough. Prices for this sailing: $189.95 7 days unlimited access plan (1 device) $229.95 7 days unlimited access plan (2 devices) $59.90 24hrs Continuous Access plan (from time of purchase) $29.95 60mins access (used throughout the cruise) AND YES IF YOU SCROLL TO BOTTOM OF OPTIONS THE 1hr $29.95 to be used whenever on cruise was available, select apply coupon and balance due goes to $0.00 People have reported on other ships this has been removed, can confirm on Jewel for this sailing as D+ we got 60 minutes to use for duration of cruise. IMPORTANT to SCROLL DOWN and check (select) apply Wifi hotspots!

islegroove Posted March 31, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Are the Unlimited plans the same for a two-week cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 31, 2015 #14 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Are the Unlimited plans the same for a two-week cruise? I don't know specifically about Jewel, but on other ships, the price goes up for longer cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
