Laptops on board????

[Grace'sMom]

I'm sure this topic has ben discussed, but my computer is acting up today and I can't seem to get to the archives page.

 

Can you take a laptop on the ship? Is there a place in your cabin to hook it up? How much is it to use?

 

I know they have an area on the ship where you can use their computers and it'sa bout a doller a minute (?) , but I was wondering if I could take my own.

 

We're sailing the Rhapsody this weekend. Any info would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance. :)

It is different on each ship and I suggest you call RCI.

 

At one time they had a flat fee of 100 for the week for access from your stateroom. This was fabulous! Then it went up and I heard away. But I did not check this last cruise.

 

I bring my laptop and find a cafe in port. I refuse to pay their by the minutes fees.

I have never sailed Rhapsody but I thought the laptop connections (inroom) were only on Voyager and Radiance class ships. I could be wrong though...just wanted to let you know you should check out the specific ship. In April it was still $100 per week and the cost in the public area for their computers was 50 cents per minute.

i sailed Explorer in May of this year, and internet access was available on your laptop via a wireless connection.

 

$100 for the whole trip unlimited would have been well worth it, but i didn't see or hear about that option when i was signing up... if you pay minute by minute, it's $.50/per minute, and it's extremely slow so it makes the time fly by.. you can also buy them in packages, i think i bought an hour for around $25..

 

you take your seapass card to the online computers area (open and available 24 hours) and swipe it... it will allow you to create a username and password to use to connect to the wireless connection with.. once you have a username and password, there's no point in using their computers anymore, as the price is the same either way..

Grace's mom....ok....I know there are lots of Graces who have moms but I have to ask....are you in Memphis? Golf?

[Grace'sMom]

Hi Skiiergirl.....no, not in Memphis. I'm in Dallas, Texas.
