nomarfan5 Posted May 3, 2007 #3 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Not sure which ship you are going on but I LOVED sitting out on my balcony e-mailing my family on the Freedom. I just had to go to the Internet Cafe to get signed up and I was set for the rest of the week. I was only online long enough to send/receive e-mails. Internet was slow but not as slow as on my last cruise. Ended up spending about $10 for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleonwater Posted May 3, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I was excited about finally being able to bring a laptop with me... won't do it again. Sure, it was a novel thing to do, sitting there in my stateroom, sending out emails, but it was SO slow. I decided I'd much rather pop into the internet cafe, throw out a couple emails and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&C-Cruisers Posted May 3, 2007 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2007 :D A little trick you might want to use since time is very expensive on board the ships. Write your messages in a word processor, use copy command, open your email, paste and send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaktus Posted May 7, 2007 #6 Share Posted May 7, 2007 :confused: Does an internet enabled smartphone work with the ship's WiFi? (not as heavy as a Laptop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
