JEWEL -- Internet Access in Suites?

[driker2]

I have heard that the Norwegian Jewel (and subsequent sister ships) will have wired Internet access in the suites. Has anyone experienced this?

 

If the story is true, does your laptop need a wired network card to connect? Is the connection free or are they still charging by the minute?

I used the PC and Internet connection the was provided in my cabin on the Jewel. The speed was good as compared to other ships.

 

I think I could have unplugged the provided notebook and connected my own with no problems.

So there was an actual computer provided in the suite. That's terrific. Was there an extra charge?

And which cabin category were you in?

Unless you computer is more than a few years old, it probably already has a wired connection (ethernet). Even if you have wireless, it makes sense to travel with a cable just in case.

Yes there was a computer in the cabin. There was no charge. We were in cat AA.

Thanks for the information, Mark. We will also be in a category AA cabin on the Pearl next year.

The use of the computer is free---to use the computer to connect to the internet is still a charge.:) Even in an AA suite. We were in an AA on the Star in August.

Sorry, I did not intend to imply that internet time was free.
