poppyskim Posted May 9, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2008 First I know-Leave it at home! But in this case it's needed-really (-: How does the whole cable hookup in your room go? Do you pay for your time on line like in the internet lounge? Thanks Cruise Critic Buddies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraithe Posted May 9, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The only system you'll have in your room is Cyber Cabin, which is a dial up service at about 44Kbaud. You pick up a kit from the Purser's desk (first come, first served) and pay for it there, one charge for the whole cruise (which I think answers your question). Plug in from your modem (not the network jack, the phone plug), if you don't have a modem and lots of new laptops don't, you can't use Cyber Cabin. Hope that helps.

Famof6 Posted May 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2008 There are also wi-fi spots on the ship. We were on Mariner last June and our cabin was on deck 6 over the Promenade Cafe; we had wireless right in the cabin. You still pay for it though. However, if you are a Crown and Anchor member you get a coupon book with some free minutes, and these only work on the ship's computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the Cyber Cabin last month and it would not work. You actually receive another cabin phone (larger than a normal one) that you replace your current phone with. I installed all of it and kept getting an error message saying their system wasn't answering. I took it back on Tuesday morning and they refunded all of the charge. Obviously it is common for them not to work and be returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyskim Posted May 20, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Has anyone had a good internet link from the room for the week? I do hear more comments about bad link s than good ones. We are hoping we can call our IT guy to get us on good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
