Cost of internet on ship?

[whitespot]

I am travelling with my two kids 17 and 14 in 9 days on the spirit. My husband is staying home (unfortunately). I would like to stay in touch with him but I do not want to bring laptop. How much is it to use the computers on board for email? Thanks:)

I used the internet Friday on Liberty to print our Southwest Boarding Passes ... ran me about $6.50 to log on & print our 4 boarding passes. Well worth the $ to be able to get an A Boarding Pass since Southwest doesn't have assigned seating. Here's the info from Carnival's website....
