gail811 Posted March 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just back from the Liberty and wanted to let those cruising between now and April 7th know about the letter we we were given. The Liberty was testing "enhancements" to their network during our sailing and were also lowering their prices, through 7 April. I was in a suite on deck 7 and had a great signal in my cabin, AND it was much, much, MUCH faster than any I have experienced on any other ship. 45 minutes cost $19, 120 minutes: $39, 240 minutes: $59, 480 minutes: $105, and pay as you go was $.50 a minute. I travel with my laptop when I cruise to keep in touch with family, and since my mom had just been released from the hospital I was thrilled with the changes! I hope they change fleet wide ASAP!

Isa65 Posted March 27, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Oh bummer... I board on April 7th and like you I am in a suite on deck 7. Guess we've just missed the experiment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail811 Posted March 27, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Keep your fingers crossed that they make the changes permanent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanDreams Posted March 27, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Keep my fingers crossed also that they make this a permanent fee as we are looking at cruising in August. I too have to travel with my laptop. Hopefully someone on CC or John Heald (if you are listening) will keep us posted. OceanDreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdfireman Posted March 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks for the info I am still stuck in the mid 90's when ships did not have the internet so I leave the laptop at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail811 Posted March 28, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I bring my laptop to download my pictures from my camera daily too; helps me keep them organized. But the truth is, my family has had a terrible run of serious health issues and I am much more comfortable being able to check in when I do cruise. This way I can send a recap to the family and receive updates, a win/win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe4all Posted March 30, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Good to hear! It was slow (and down a lot) and more expensive when we cruised her in Dec.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
