Wifi question

You can purchase a block of minutes for a lesser price or you can just pay as you go. But expect to pay anywhere from $.55 to $.75 a minute. Plus, Internet is VERY slow. Sometimes it can take more than a minute to download one page.

It will be expensive and slow.

 

Alternatives will include restaurants and bars in port. Some have free wifi.

 

Internet cafes in port. There will be a charge, but much cheaper and faster than the ship.

 

Ask your cabin steward or waiter where to go.

Just as an example for downloading speed: I downloaded the Windows 8 upgrade in approximately 6 minutes at home.

 

The Microsoft Tech Instructor on the ms Westerdam took nearly 6 hours to download the upgrade for his laptop on board. He kept his fingers crossed that there were no interruptions.
