Internet access on board question...

[sherrintxs]

Dh and I are going on a cruise alone this time, ds insists on staying with his grandparents. We want to be able to email back and forth with ds and isn't there a package you can buy? Can someone tell me the levels and the prices, please?

 

TIA

I recently paid $20 for 30 minutes. But they tacked on a $3.95 access charge. And the minutes go really fast since the service is on the slow side. Almost like the old dial up days. I think the per minute was about $.45. There was also a larger minute package you could get but I only needed it to print boarding passes. Oh yeah, that was another $.50. Hope this helps
