Free WiFi

[maxi305]

Does anyone know places with free wifi for the ports of Naples, Civitavecchia, Livorno, Cannes and Palma de Mallorca?

We usually use restaurants or cafe's or ask the crew. They are always experts on the free wifi spots.

In Naples, there is 'free' wifi in the Port at the ice cream place. You have to buy a little something and they will give you the code. At all the other ports, you don't go into the Port building so you can just find a cafe with the wifi sign - but you will have to buy something. Never had an issue finding wifi on a recent 11 day cruise.

If you want close to the ship, yes the crew know the hot-spots.

 

Most cafes & bars have free Wi-Fi, you'll see notices. Usually via a password from staff.

Signal strength varies from good to unusable. Take a look-see whether any customers are tapping away - even ask them how the signal is - before you order a drink.

All those ports will have plenty of free Wifi - as suggested, ask the crew or look out for the signs.

 

Specifically though:

Naples - as suggested, the little place in the terminal has free wifi

Civitavecchia - all the little bars along the seafront by the old bus drop-off point have free wifi, you just have to make a purchase. Additionally they have free wifi in Subway and McDonalds.

Livorno - nowhere close to the port as it's a big industrial port so you would have to catch the shuttle bus into town. Just look for a wifi sign when you get there

Cannes - they have free wifi at McDonalds which is a couple of hundred yards along the seafront to the right, from where the tender drops you. We picked up a signal just sitting outside without making a purchase :rolleyes:

Palma - turn left as you leave the terminal building and follow the signs for the shopping centre Porto Pi. Cross the road towards the shopping centre and there's a little cafe bar outside the centre which has free wifi.
