I have a regular Kindle that has the built-in Wi-Fi that doesn't need to connect to the ship's service. I am able to download books and use the primitive facebook. It's really slow but works.

I am waiting for the Kindle Fire to arrive anyday now. I think since it is just WIFI not 3G you will not be able to download or connect to the internet while on the ship without paying unless in port where you can find a WIFI connection. So any books or videos will have to be downloaded prior.

This sounds right to me. I got mine for Christmas and have downloaded a lot so I won't need WIFI when we're on the cruise. We're going next week so I'll report back when we return!

Check with your local library. Most public libraries let you download ebooks on kindle now for free for 2 weeks and then it disappears. Great idea to do before you leave.

I have an iPad and an air card. Will the air card get me Internet on the sea or in Nassau?
