Host Jacquelyn Posted September 27, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Besides the WiFi charge to connect your iPad to the internet, the only charge you will incur is the price of whatever you are downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted September 27, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2013 If you are talking about downloading using the ship's Internet, just remember that Internet access is notoriously slow; slow speed = slow download = costly. You might consider using a wifi connection on land to do your downloading... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulders Posted September 27, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 27, 2013 If you download using a wifi connection on board, you will pay about 65 cents per minute. Less if you purchase a wifi package. If you download using a cellular connection on board, you will pay $3 or more per minute. For that reason, if your iPad is cellular compatible, make sure that you have cellular turned off when on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted September 27, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2013 It is always wise to download music, books, games when you are home. There are some games which need a wifi connection, but lots that don't. Music that is already downloaded, can be played onboard. If you want to download pictures from another camera, Apple has a plug-in device...one end plugs into Ipad, and the other end holds the memory card. And as Boulders mentioned, if your Ipad is 3G (or whatever they are now), turn that off. Mine is only Wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
