Carnival offers wireless laptop access - fyi

Sorry if this is old news. It was news to me. I just returned from a week
on the Carnival Glory. Was very surprised to find that they offer wireless
access from your own laptop in and around the Internet Cafe. It is normal
802.11b. I asked the Cafe manager how long they have been offering this and
he said that they tried it on two ships in February and it is now on all
Carnival ships. I asked if they plan to offer it in the cabins. He said,
no, due to too much metal. But he said they hope to offer it in the atrium,
Lido, etc. The cost was $100. for 250 minutes (4 hours and 10 minutes).
There were other plans for less minutes. You can use it anytime, 24 hours
per day and on debarkation day, up until you leave the ship. I had no
problems using it and it was reasonably fast.

FYI,
Gordon
