I am platinum and get a lot of free minutes. Can I use those minutes from my cabin using my IPAD? Thanks. Linda

Yes you can use your minutes for your I-Pad in your cabin. I've always had not the best internet conneection using my 1st Gen I-Pad. I constantly loose the signal and connecting can be an issue (at times) in the cabin. About the only place I've had fairly reliable a connection was when I would be sitting right outside the internet cafe. My problems are fixed however because I reccently bought a new Dell Ultrabook. If I bring my I-Pad it will be just for movies, music, and I-Books.....:):):)

The Platinum/Elite minutes can be used either on the ship's equipment in the internet cafe or on your own equipment via wifi over most of the ship

Refresh my memory, my last Princess cruise was 2009 I think -- do I have to go and sign up at the Internet Cafe for the free Platinum minutes? And I assume I can use my phone for wifi with those minutes at no extra charge? Thanks!

Just log on and your elite status will be recognized, no need to register at the Internet Caft.
