Free of charge email from ship to home?

[fonrouge82]

I believe I read that carnival provides email free of charge while on board to home. Did I imagine this? I can't find it on the Carnival website. If you have done this, would you tell me how you did? :confused:

 

Thanks so much!

You imagined it.

 

You can get free access to Carnival.com which has a forum section under Funville. You can post things back and forth there, but the whole world could read (if interested). You would need an account - also free.

Sorry, no free email. But it's worth what I pay to stay in contact with my kids back at home.

Hmm maybe you saw this and got the details mixed up...From FAQ re Internet

 

 

 

CruisE-mail™ - is our personalized email service set up as a convenience for those guests who either do not have their own email or are unable to access their own service provider. There is an additional charge of $3.95 for each outgoing (sent) message. No additional charges apply for received (incoming) messages. The feature is not available on the Carnival Dream and Magic.

Adding on--

 

Look for Carnival Connections then Currently Onboard. It is free to use onboard. Need to be signed up to post and it is a public forum.

They used to give you a free account that was a combination of your name, cabin number, ships name or something like that. But you still have to pay for the internet access.

 

About the only thing free on a cruise ship is the air - unless you're going scuba diving.

Or you could find an internet cafe at a port.

Thank you so much Sadie. This is exactly what I meant. I didn't realize it was a public forum, thought it was email, but it will serve the purpose that I need. :):)

Like another poster said - wait until port if you can - ex. in Jamaica we went to an internet cafe and paid $1 for 15 mins plus beer was $1.50 - sure suited our purpose.
