Victory: Where Can You Pick Up (or Not) a Wi-Fi Signal?

[Leo Jay]

I'm trying to get an idea of where on the ship you can pick up the ship's internet signal wirelessly (not signals from sites in port). Those of you who have connected wirelessly from anywhere on this ship, please let me know where you were and weren't able to. Thanks.

Wireless internet access is available across our entire fleet. Depending on the vessel, we have either limited wireless access in and around the shipboard internet café and select public areas or a complete "Bow2stern" wireless network. The complete "Bow2stern" wireless network is currently available on Carnival Imagination, Carnival Inspiration, Carnival Pride, Carnival Legend, Carnival Victory, Carnival Valor, Carnival Liberty, Carnival Freedom and Carnival Splendor.

The "Bow2Stern" network allows our guests to enjoy Internet access from literally anywhere on board, including all public areas, lounges, bars and pool decks, guest suites and cabins. To take full advantage of this feature, guests should bring their personal laptops along with them, as the number of laptops available for rent onboard is limited. In addition, this network provides supports the latest Wi-Fi enabled iPhones, PalmPilots and Blackberrys.

I saw that, but didn't know if they meant their laptops they had for rental or your own laptop...since it also says that the wi-fi can be used on Blackberry devices. it's awfully confusing for me...ditz that i am. :o

No problem. A couple of years ago, before bow2stern, I was able to pick up the wi-fi on my Palm PDA from my Legend balcony, which was pretty cool.
