Damo74 Posted February 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi, Does anyone know if WiFi is available close to ports at La Spezia, Civitavecchia and Naples? Would be handy to get online for a few minutes after or before going back on the ship to check up with emails etc. I know you can do it online, but the prices that RC charge are pretty steep! Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted March 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Since we try to never be caught dead in McDonalds (in Europe) there is a pretty nice coffee shop/café/ice cream shop across the street from McDonalds that also has free Wifi (just ask for the code). We find this café a nicer place to sip a cappuccino then sitting in McDonalds :). There is a free port shuttle bus that will get you from ship to the main port entrance and these places are only a few minutes walk from the bus stop.

LondonTowner Posted March 27, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hlitner I agree with you about McDonalds. I try never to go to any fast food outlets, but I find McDonalds nearly always have clean toilets and these days in Europe have decent coffee. Also, all McDonalds have free wifi. Alternatively ask a couple of crew members as they know all the free wifi places all over he world and often it is just in the cruise terminal.

Manchesterfield762 Posted April 19, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hello We are shortly departing on a med cruise. Can anyone recommend any places for free wifi in Calvi, Palermo, La Goulette, Livorno, Monte Carlo or Marseilles? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted April 19, 2014 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I will just offer a good hint on how to find out where to go for Wifi. Just ask the crew. They always know the best spots closest to the ship since WiFi is how most of them keep in touch with their family. Ask your cabin stewards, waiters, and even the bar tenders.

RJHNorthyorks Posted April 20, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 20, 2014 We generally find wifi easily in most ports. Often in port buildings, cafe's or bars or see groups of crew members on line. We travel with a teenager so finding wifi is usually high on his list of priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugeater2 Posted April 20, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 20, 2014 If your phone is unlocked and uses a sim card, you could also get a prepaid data sim. They are sold in major airports, train stations and convenience stores and are country specific. The price is much less than your US wireless plan. You can also order them before you go for a premium but still not too bad. I will be using prepaid zero for my trip this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also keep in mind that your phone must work on GSM networks (some US phones only work on CDMA) and preferably be a quad freq. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Correct me if I am wrong but a CDMA only phone would not have a sim card, would it? I know that the Verizon IPhone 5/5c/5s meets all criteria and can also be used as a hot spot for my family's other devices (IPhone 4, IPad Mini, ect.)
