Computers on Oasis of the Seas

[shakotah]

Going on the Oasis in November and my children will have homework to do and then be emailed to teachers. Was wondering if you are able to access programs like Microsoft Word on the ship's computers? Also, are you able to use USB drive on the computer or have the ports been removed/disabled? Thanks for any help on this.

You may want to consider taking a laptop or netbook with the appropriate software and wi-fi loaded on it. Then buy a wi-fi package and the kids can do their work from your stateroom. The internet is quite slow while on the ocean as it has to be uplinked to a satalite. Speeds ae reportrd to be about what we had back in the phone line days. I also remember not being able to access the cpu for thumb drive hook-up.
