Question for anyone ever been on a cruise...

Do they have wireless internet in the rooms? Should we bring our laptop? If so is it included? Thanks!!!!

They do, but it is not included. It costs a small fortune. And the internet is sloooooow because its satelite based...

We went on a cruise last summer. They had internet access, but you had to pay like $10 for 30 minutes. Fh had to check his fantasy baseball team at the time, so it was like a MUST for him. I don't know about wireless.

Most cruise lines do not have internet access in the rooms. They do have places on board to get online but it costs a small fortune. I paid $1 per minute to get online during my HM because I forgot to enter TWOTY contest before I left.

when we went away in march, FH bought his laptop wich had verizon wireless internet. It only worked while we were in port in the the US and puerto rico. But you can use the wireless internet on the ship. IT defin was not expensive. You can buy packages of minutes. He needed it for his business and it was well worth it. IT is slow. its not like a cable modem, more like dial up. but it works. and if you need to run a business i would bring it.

NCL and Carnival def have it and its pricey...call your cruise line for prices. Its usually in the library..We tried to use our laptops from our room but no luck...Some cruise lines have email service...its when you get a personlized email [email protected] or whatever..and anyone can email you...they print it out and slip it under your door for a fee.....Its good for emergencies...anyone can contact you at anytime...

We just went on Royal Caribbean and it was .50 per minute, but not in the room. There was a computer room.

The last few cruises we went on they werent in the rooms. They had a library / computer room. It was expensive and really slow.
There is sooooooooooooo much do to on a cruise that I doubt you will even want to be anywhere near a computer.
Have a great safe trip.

Yeah, they have a few computer areas on the boat, there wasn't anything available in room. It is slower than your regular home internet though. I logged on pretty much daily to email FH since I went with my family.
