It’d be great if one cruiseline would have one ship that is geared towards the demographic that requires internet. My husband is in management. When we do travel he still spends a few hours/day online taking care of business. We’ve traveled Europe and had a wonderful time. We would not have been able to take that trip if he’d not been able to take care of business (he’s an investor in the business, and would worry if he was unreachable…and thereby not enjoy the holiday).

I would jump on the opportunity to cruise (I’ve done it once with girlfriends and loved it, and wanted to share this experience with my husband).

$100/week for unlimited would be okay, but according to this thread that is no longer offered. At 33 cents/minute our internet cost would be larger than our cruise cost.

I’ll just keep watching online and see if any cruiseline gets with the times and realize how important the internet is to many people.

If the author had a simple understanding of the cost of having internet access on a moving vessel, his harsh words were less harsh. The hotel that gives you free wifi is probably paying $50 a month for the internet while a cruise ship will pay tens of thousands of $$$. This you could learn with a little research but I guess it’s easier to give a finger.

It’s really the only way to vacation! Enjoy life while you have it, as one never knows when it’s going to end! I’m 65 and am thankful everyday, I’m fortunate enough to wake up, rain or shine!!

He’s probably also one of those people that eats in the dinning room, all week, then the last night, eats in the buffet, to cheat the dinning room staff out of a tip! It’s like the people that complain about food, on a plane! If you want to eat out, you don’t fly somewhere; if you want to fly somewhere, you don’t go to a restaurant. If you want to e-mail, STAY HOME! On the other hand, if you want to go on a vacation, to relax and totally enjoy yourself, take a cruise, and ROYAL CARIBBEAN is one of the best you can do! If while on their cruise, you have a legitimate complaint, they do all they can to rectify it! Thank you RCCI, we’ll see you, again, in December. Will take my iPod, and use it off the ship, at the MANY free locations, or pay $100. onboard to use it, anywhere, anytime, during the entire cruise!

After many cruises and having purchased Internet services on board over the last 10 years I have concluded that it is a simple supply and demand economy set by a captive audience. You have to want it. :- )

What a big rip off. What do they use? satellite I guess? Is that expensive for them? Probably. Does that justify that bill … no.
