LDinCT Posted February 17, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I read somewhere- that laptops could be used for internet in cabin. Cabins have internet access? Or was this only for the Vista class? btw - just got my docs today for the 3/15 Zaandam and they were quite hefty. What are they leather, they smell like leather or is it expensive vinyl? Just used to edocs on RCI, haven't gotten the whole shebang in awhile. Saw Curacao was 90' yesterday, that would be nice. LDinCT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakrewser Posted February 17, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Vista class ships allow you to use your laptop (with a modem) in the cabin. It's like dial-up at home. Details at http://www.mtnsat.com/digitalseas/hal.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomica Posted February 17, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I used my iBook in my cabin last week on the Oosterdam. It's dialup, so it's just dirt-slow, but it makes it far more cost effective to go online, retrieve your email, then go offline and type out your replies. I believe it was 50 cents per minute. Worked well, and I'd do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabana Posted February 18, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2006 We were midship on the Rotterdam deck on the westerdam and could access the wireless network in both the Neptune lounge and our suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stebul Posted February 20, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2006 You might be able to access your laptop via the ship's wireless network, depending upon where your cabin is relative to the "hot spots". My cabin on Statendam was one deck under the Lido pool and across from the Neptune Lounge, and I was able to access both from inside the room and out on the balcony. The wireless configuration is different on every ship, but it appears new locations are being added frequently. It is a nice surprise if you can access it from your cabin, but you can't plan on it.
