wireless on the Norwegian Dawn

Will be on the Dawn to Bermuda on April 20 and was wondering if wireless
on the Dawn will work with internal wireless on a notebook or other
device. Or do you need a wireless card provided by the ship.

I ask because I'd like to take an iPod touch with me so I can briefly
check my email. I have no need for a laptop on the cruise.

Wireless on the Dawn is the pits. I wasn't even getting dial-up speed in
November in the internet cafe.
Unless it's an absolute necessity I wouldn't even bother

It works with the internal wireless on a notebook in public areas no
problem. I have no idea if it will work with the ipod. Keep in mind you have
a special login screen with the service providers server and a popup window
to log off. If you don't logout your minutes continue to add up until it
finally time out and that can be a long time. You can also log out by going
to http://1.1.1.1. Depending on the plan you select when you first logon it
will be $.40 to $.75 per minute.

The value of a laptop is you can compose and read email off line. Login and
do a quick send and receive. Reading and composing online like in the
internet cafe can chew up lots of time and $.

Don't forget, the eyes of Dawn will be upon you.
