Wi-Fi on board

Hi! Can anyone give some up-to-date information on Wi-Fi on Board the Star Clipper ships? Cost? Speed? Availability???

Thanks in advance!

Any information on free Wi-Fi in the south caribbean?

Again, thanks!!

You can purchase wifi access from the purser. If my memory serves, you buy a block of minutes for $10-20. On the Star Cruiser/Flyer, the access is limited to the Piano Bar lounge.

In my experience the on board wifi was seriously slow. Ask the waiting staff for free wifi spots in the ports and beach bars (unlikely).

Thanks, I am sure that is the best to do. They know how to call home!!! Ahoi!

Hi

Reserecting an old post here ...

Can anyone kindly update me with present charges etc for Wi-fi onboard?

We are about do a Transat for the fifth time from the Canaries to Barbados aboard Star Flyer this time and in previous years we have ignored the availability of Wi-fi which in any case used to become unavailable a few days out. Then last year while crossing in Royal Clipper for the first time we signed up for the last few days and much to our surprise this was at a good rate with a good service.  This may be because a new satellite to cover the Atlantic crossing area was positioned a year or so ago.

If the service has indeed generally improved then we might sign up from the outset if the price is reasonable.
