kalos Posted January 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I would say any of the ships of Thomson are not going to be cheap but all around the same price, so I would wait until on land which is just about every day unless you were crossing the Atlantic . As a guide in what to expect the prices on the Majesty ranged from 15 mins (25MB limit) for £4 up to 180 minutes for £18 depending on which internet plan you chose. From what I got told of the people who did use it the speed was very poor onboard the ship . Hope that helps:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grez Posted January 20, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Wait until you are ashore. Ask the crew where the best place to get free wi-fi is in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
