Rare Morgsmom Posted March 26 #1 Share Posted March 26 So I've made the horrible (😉) mistake of having booked a cruise over "month end" for the first time in my five years of indentured servitude...I mean, gainful employment. As such the boss is making me work remotely to close the financial books while at sea. For anyone with direct experience, have you been able to VPN into your company from the ship's WiFi? Or will access be blocked? (PS I'm in finance, NOT IT, so don't laugh...) Also, is there a business center on the Euribia in case I have to print out some hard copies? I can't imagine traveling with a portable printer, though I do see some on Amazon with thermal paper rolls. If so, does anyone know the cost? (Back in the "old days" there were business centers with computers and printers on the cruise ships where people would log in and print out airline tickets, etc. Now with everything being online, I don't see that anymore). Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare GPPhilly Posted March 28 #3 Share Posted March 28 I will be on starting 4/12 if that is not too late and you do not receive an answer I can check for you and let you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamieLogical Posted March 28 #4 Share Posted March 28 I can't speak about the Euribia specifically, but I have been able to VPN/Remote Desktop into my work PC from onboard the Meraviglia and the Divina using the Browse wifi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinaLC Posted March 29 #5 Share Posted March 29 The Facebook posts are usually quite active. Search for Euribia specific groups. Also see if there is a roll call for the current cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peder Posted March 29 #6 Share Posted March 29 (edited) There were some posts about the Starlink rollout on the Euribia, and folks were consistently getting great speeds with low latency throughout most of the ship. There's always a chance that you'll have issues with VPN, but on other MSC ships I've personally not run into any issues with my company's VPN. There is a "business centre", but I believe it's more of a conference room that's used for larger meetings: Per CruiseMapper: "Business Centre (size 721 ft2 / 67 m2, Conference Hall / Meeting Rooms)" And per CruiseDeckPlans, it looks like this (https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/ships/shiptour.php?r=13192😞 And per the MSC official ship tour video, it looks like this (https://youtu.be/RF6bqeKUZBo?si=BFBKX8yKnMgrI7o6&t=780 Likely the difference between the CruiseDeckPlans photo and the MSC photo is that they are different rooms, because the second photo here is clearly has a window whereas the other is in an interior space. Neither appears to have a printer or really any space for someone to work for a while. They're just meeting spaces, probably used most often by the crew.
