WIFI in cabin

[jenale80]

Can you connect to internet in your cabin to get on the carnival site for free?

Yes you can~

Yes you can~

Thanks for quick response.

 

Is the connection usually any good or does it depend on your location of cabin?

 

How does it work? Is the connection open and as long as you stay on carnivals site no charges will appear on my S&S account, but the moment I search another site then a charge will automatically appear?:confused:

I had a very forward balcony and my connection was barely... said barely connected or some such on my tablet.

 

better if you are more midship, or closer to the internet hub.

 

Unless you pay for a package, and have a sign in .. you wouldnt be charged, since you are not signing in to get to another site... cant get there unless you pay.. including the $4.95 set up fee.

I was in 8205 on the Triumph a couple of weeks ago. All the way forward, inside. I had great signal on my Macbook.

We have a balcony close to the FWD elevators, hope signal is good there.

 

I suppose I am not tech savvy so still a bit confused....

I'm thinking when I sign on to wifi at my parents house I have to have their password to get onto their connection, once I'm logged in I have free range. Or since McDonalds has free WIFI, you just log on no PW needed.

 

So is it like a mcdonalds WIFI, in the sense that I don't need a PW or anything to get the WIFI connection?

then...

If a person pays for the internet service do they have to enter a PW or something for every web page they are going to visit?

 

Sorry, just trying to fully understand, this process from both ends.

It's kinda dumb that the wifi would suck. It's 2012. It's how people get connected.

Every time you connect to the internet on the ship you will be asked to log in with your cabin and name unless you are accessing Carnival websites only.

Just got some more info on another site.... I should be good to go.
