albertamom Posted February 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2015 We are approaching our 4th NCL cruise, but first on the Sky. I can't believe that I didn't know this before, but I have just come across info online saying that internet is not available in the staterooms. Can you only access the internet in the Internet Cafe, or on a mobile device in public areas? I know that I should be able to unplug for 3 days, but this is our first cruise without our kids, and I want to be able to check in on them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc2011 Posted February 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I used the Internet in my room on the Sky in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireEater Posted February 24, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Last May, I used it in my suite. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted February 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Folks that successfully used it - both wireless internet access and hard-wired/ethernet port in each stateroom, or lack of wireless access (majority of users connect via WiFi these days as a matter of convenience) ?? In earlier days, wireless access was only in certain public area and stateroom access was via the ethernet port but ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertamom Posted February 24, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted February 24, 2015 This sounds very promising. Your connection was wireless? All that I could find on ncl.com is that in stateroom access on the Sky is "coming soon". Any other stories of success or lack thereof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameThatFunnel Posted February 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Just off the Sky this weekend. Officially, wireless Internet is only available in public areas on Decks 5, 6, 7, 11 & 12. If your room is on Deck 8 or 10 and close to one of the main elevator stacks or staircases, you may get a weaker signal in your room. I did notice that there were crews running data cables all over the ship, so they may be close to offering wi-fi everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that I will have wireless access in the public areas helps. Maybe by the time we cruise, we'll have it in our stateroom as well. We have our first aft penthouse booked, and I don't plan on leaving that beautiful balcony very often. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Who Knows Nothing Posted February 24, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm in the same situation as OP - I'd love to reach out to the kids once in while. So am I reading that there IS wireless on the Sky? Free or fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
