I always take my iPad on cruises and in the main, have had few issues with emailing. As ship's wifi is expensive, I compose mine offline and then send later.

Should not be a problem. I don't have any with my iPad mini.

Compose your e-mail in draft form and then send when you go online. For some reason the IPad Air doesn't automatically send messages in Outbox.

I have used an ipad air with no issues caused by the hardware. The wifi system on board can be slow so I struggled to download my newspaper. You might also need to wander round the ship to find a stronger signal.

 

And of course it's cheaper, or free, if you use it ashore.

Thank-you so much for your replies. I didn't want to bring it if there were going to be issues.

You may have issues. The IT manager on a recent cruise told me Ipads can be tricky and he does the setup.

 

Let him know how you are going to be using the Wi-Fi and he will give you the info.

There was an IT manager on a HAL ship??? Last cruise I was on the librarian was "it". And useless.

The ship I'll be on is the Maasdam, so I have my fingers crossed that we'll have no issues

He may have referred to himself as Internet manager. He worked for the company that provides the internet to the ship. He is separate from the librarian.

Thanks Typoon1 I'm a windows person but our daughter Is a Apple iPad person so she thought iPad to iPad should make things easier to connect with each other. Also I didn't want to take something that's added weight and doesn't work. Only 4 months to go.

On my previous cruise I had a MK 1 iPad and need the IT man's help to set up. But no problems last year by when I had graduated to the IPad Air
