Will my Kindle's 3G service work while we are at see.

No 3G on my iPad. Hubby's whisper net occasionally worked while in San Juan but that was about it.

It has been posted that it will work, however I will find out for sure in just over 5 days and check back with you if no one else has answered :)

Please remember to come back and report what happens. It's supposed to work for free in international locations...and even drop to the EDGE network if that's all that's available. But of course Amazon doesn't show a ship's tower on the map of countries where the 3G agreement is in effect.

Yes, it works at sea. I've even used it at Coco Cay to check my email, for free! The Kindle's experimental web browser leaves MUCH to be desired, but I do like the free part.

Yes, we did a b2b in October of last year on the Serenade, it worked when we were IN PORT only not while at sea. I LOVE my Kindle for traveling. Great on the plane, in the Hotel and on the SHIP. Enjoy.

Do you mean like a mouse? Or a touch screen? :D Trying to move that cursor is something, huh?

 

It does seem like it could be a good thing if needed for something brief that can't wait.

Ahhh, I see you know what I'm talking about! I used it to check my email. If I had email that looked important, then I turned on my laptop and used the ship's wireless. It was very difficult to read and compose email on the Kindle. But it did save me some money by allowing me to avoid turning on the laptop just to check for email.

Worked on Oasis, too. True, the web browser isn't great but it's good enough to check email and facebook and check in for flights if your airline has a mobile site.

Just back from my 5 night cruise on the Radiance of the Seas, the Kindle only worked in Port in Tampa and in Cozumel.

 

It did not work on the ship in the cabin on deck 10 or by the pool. Also, it did not work in Costa Maya - but the cell phone didn't work there either - missed a conference call - darn the luck!!!!! :)

 

Hope this helps.

We just returned from the Monarch. You can search the Kindle Store and download books once in port, not while sailing. We did it in Nassau and worked fine.

It worked well enough for them to send me a message while sailing about Kindle International use.

On the Oasis and Solstice the kindle would work off and on while on the ship. DH would go to the top of the ship and try to find a spot that got connected. When 3G was not available the other connections were very very slow. He did not use the web browser he downloaded newspapers.
