This is not a matter of supply/demand or captive audience as much as the cost of a certain service. If the author had a simple understanding of the cost of having internet access on a moving vessel, his harsh words were less harsh. The hotel that gives you free wifi is probably paying $50 a month for the internet while a cruise ship will pay tens of thousands of $$$. This you could learn with a little research but I guess it’s easier to give a finger.

You’re so welcome, Todd, now take another cruise and enjoy yourself!!! It’s really the only way to vacation! Enjoy life while you have it, as one never knows when it’s going to end! I’m 65 and am thankful everyday, I’m fortunate enough to wake up, rain or shine!!

Isn’t it sad that Todd (person who initiated this blog) can’t appreciate something he received FREE (the entire cruise), finding something to complain about? He’s probably also one of those people that eats in the dinning room, all week, then the last night, eats in the buffet, to cheat the dinning room staff out of a tip! It’s like the people that complain about food, on a plane! If you want to eat out, you don’t fly somewhere; if you want to fly somewhere, you don’t go to a restaurant. If you want to e-mail, STAY HOME! On the other hand, if you want to go on a vacation, to relax and totally enjoy yourself, take a cruise, and ROYAL CARIBBEAN is one of the best you can do! If while on their cruise, you have a legitimate complaint, they do all they can to rectify it! Thank you RCCI, we’ll see you, again, in December. Will take my iPod, and use it off the ship, at the MANY free locations, or pay $100. onboard to use it, anywhere, anytime, during the entire cruise!

They do use Satelite and the system is fairly reliable. After many cruises and having purchased Internet services on board over the last 10 years I have concluded that it is a simple supply and demand economy set by a captive audience. You have to want it. :- )

Wow 55 cents a minute. What a big rip off. What do they use? satellite I guess? Is that expensive for them? Probably. Does that justify that bill ... no. .-= Dillinger@ Cheap Caribbean Vacation Packages´s last blog ..Not cheap- but you can rent Mick Jagger’s home in the Caribbean =-.

I’m actually in the process of determining which cruise line to book with for an upcoming family vacation, and appreciate the reminder to check that first.

I totally agree with Todd. I am going on a 7-day Caribbean cruise of Christmas/New Years, on Celebrity Summit, and can’t believe they don’t offer an unlimited package! It’s 2010 for Goodness sake! I don’t necessarily need to work, but I need to be connected to the world — news, sports, daily crossword, etc. Also, if I don’t cull through my email occasionally, I’ll have 500 messages when I get back from the cruise!

55c is a great reason to take some time offline
