101wifi

I was just at Mahogany Bay and must have gotten really lucky with their new WiFi. I was during the day at both the beach and later up by the shopping area and I didn't have any problems. I was able to upload my pics and IM all day. The girl at the kiosk was really nice and helpful too. She helped me get signed on to the wifi. It must be really new because there the crew on board didn't even know about it. Maybe they have work through their growning pains. I can only imagine the load it must have been to have thousands of WiFi starved cruisers get off the ship and overload their circuts all at once!!! Lol.

I found the wifi on board our ship to be really slow. If you ask the crew where to find WiFi in your ports that would be a more reliable WiFi option usually. Our crew told us what ports had it or where to find it nearby the ports in bar or restaurants. We got lucky in Roatan and were able to lay on the Beach at Mahogany Bay and respond to needed emails and post our vacation photos.

I would bring the Ipad. Better to have and not use than to wish you had it. Some ports have wifi which is much cheaper and more reliable than the wifi on the ships. I know Roatan just installed high speed wifi at both their ports. I used it at the Mahongany Bay Carnival Port and it was great! I think they only charged like $10 for all day. Gave me a chance to check in with friends at home and post pics.
