I think you should check on the RCCL's message boards (that is RCCL, right?) well anyway, even if you could do that, they would probably charge you dial up fees that would well exceed what you'd want to pay. Just about every ship has an internet cafe. I'd suggest using that.

Great information from the above poster. As an addition, realize that internet is VERY slow. From experience, it can take two minutes or more to download just one page. Wifi is generally available in the cabin.

If you think about it, there is really very little e-mail that can't wait until you get home to take care of it!

We have a business, so we do check in 2 or 3 times during a longer cruise, but that's it! If there is a life or death emergency, someone will contact us. Otherwise, we're on vacation--leave us alone!!!!!!
