Charges are exactly the same as for using the email on the ship's computers. I can't recall exactly, but it isn't cheap.

 

The great advantage of wi-fi is that one can compose emails peacefully and at leisure, whip down to (a) the computer centre (b) the boardroom © the Yacht Club or (d) the Lido and then in a minute or so do a quick send and receive, and then back to the bar/cabin to read them at leisure.

 

Certainly worth taking it with you. Especially if you have been given a pass out to sail without your wife, and wish to stay in contact mid Adlantic!

See this explanation I have just found by searching, which includes fees.

Basically $0.50 per minute, cheaper if you buy packages......

Many thanks Matthew, this is really helpful. Think we will be upgrading our laptop before we go for a lighter version!
