Internet access
I am sailing on RCL Mariner of the Seas next week. Is internet access
available on the ship? If so, how much is the cost and how does it work? Can I use my own laptop and connect to the internet? |

There is also an in cabin slow dial connection available. -- Charles |

Internet access
It's $0.50 a minute to use the comupters on the ship. They have an area on
the 8th floor with lots of computers. My average time to check email was 7 minutes. I don't know how much it is for the laptop users but I saw a lot of people using them around the ship.

Can I use my own laptop and connect to the internet? I dug up the price list as of my cruise on Mariner in December. It is ..50 cents a minute if you use your laptop for Wi-Fi, or their workstation, or you can buy a package. $25 for 60 minutes, $35 for 90 minutes, $50 for 150 minutes. -- Charles |

Internet Connectivity
TIP: If you are bringing a laptop on your cruise, be sure to go to Guest Services right after you board to get one of the few "cybercabin" phones available. With a special cybercabin phone, you get unlimited internet access for the week for a $100 fee. I thought this was WELL WORTH IT. The internet connection speed was not as fast as DSL but faster than dialup - I found it sufficient and I didn't have any connection problems the whole week. It's the best internet setup I have experienced on any cruise. I was told there are only 40 of these phones available for the whole ship. If you aren't lucky enough to get one of the cyberphones, regular internet access is available through the internet cafe for 50 cents a minute. The Internet Cafe had a good number of terminals available. |

You have to buy a package of minutes now. As a self proclaimed "travelexpert" you should have known that instead of passing off an outdated tip. -- Charles |

I emailed RCL to try to get an answer on this and they never responded. |
