It seems to me once the ships hit hurricane force storms the boats get real quiet....no one seems to go out and about in the ship, outside of course are closed off. My wife was sea sick only once. I was sea sick once fishing in Mexico...bobbing around with no horizen.We have been in three hurricanes on Princess. 2 on the Star off Chile and once on the Crown when Irene was hitting the Eastern seaboard we were up off Newfoundland. They may change course or drop ports to avoid them when feasible. It is always best to get some type of horizon so your body can make sense of what is going on. On the ships with Skywalker's that is where we go! Great fun to see the bridge smacked by a huge wave and count the rollers on their way in.

A really great smack puts water over the bridge! When we are in a low cabin the shudders from the force are amazing. We now hang in rooms up high or on the back to get the sense of the sea! Could happen off Mexico but doubtful, my worst weather has been extreme north or southern routes.

You know they are expecting big ones when they hand out Dramamine like candy and hang the barf bags out at the elevators... My wife says Meclizine is the bomb....

Depending on the time of day and location of the ship I have had no problem streaming video on many occasions. Locally stored video is the way to go, however. Much more reliable if the OP's son depends on it.

Yes whilst in certain ports they get a hook up to terrestrial connections vs. the sat network. Quite a good connection can be had then. MTN is always hoping to upgrade all cruise ships.

Have fun if you think a ship can stream video! Local storage is the way to go though. Lots of storage for a weeks worth of video!
