sarahsentry Posted January 28 #1 Share Posted January 28 We're considering not getting an internet package for our cruise but would be nice to just check email a few times or look something up. Is there still an Internet cafe or is there anywhere on the ship with free wifi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foodluvr Posted January 28 #2 Share Posted January 28 Nope! You can however buy a package for 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time4u2go Posted January 28 #3 Share Posted January 28 You can often find free wifi in various ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted January 28 #4 Share Posted January 28 Definitely no Free internet onboard unless you are Diamond or higher and then can free 24 hours or more depending on your status. You can usually get free internet at ports to check your email, etc. The crew tend to hang out at places where they can get free internet when on break from the ship. What is your itinerary?

Sunshine3601 Posted January 28 #6 Share Posted January 28 You definitely can get free wifi in Nassau Bahamas. If you walk along town there are several places that have signs saying free interent (Dunkin Donuts & McDonalds are 2 of them). You might even get free wifi at their new Welcome Center at end of the pier. CocoCay - No free wifi Labadee - 99.9% sure No free wifi Jamaica - if docking at Falmouth you should be able to find free wifi at the cruise port or you may find a cafe / bar offering for a nominal fee.

Tatka Posted January 28 #7 Share Posted January 28 If you have T-mobile … most plans include data in every country including island countries. Not sure about Labadee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn't even access the ship wifi from where we were at Columbus Cove. I'm not sure about other areas though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted January 28 #14 Share Posted January 28 So Falmouth is even more useless of a stop? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only cell tower is the ship, and that's a big up charge. I haven't tried Labadee, but it may be the same. The rest of the islands it usually works.

Please be careful using any public wifi access, be sure to use a trustworthy VPN to block cyber criminals stealing your info. Hubby is a techie with a hacker background so he knows how easy it is for bad people to take advantage of tourists using free WiFi. So we use SurfShark to protect our devices and accounts when using public wifi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorta - if you click on the app/play store in the app, you'll get about 15 min of internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works fine until enough people on both islands find it. I've used it since 2017. Labadee is similar. There is a cell tower in the hills facing the ship.
