Review summary

The variety of port calls, the excellent service of the cruise staff, and great entertainment. I was very disappointed with the internet service. I used it on two occasions on a pay-as-you use option and found it to be very slow, difficult to maneuver, and a complete waste of my time and money. I believe I spent almost $30 to review some emails and that was it. I admit that I am not very familiar with computer operations but I have been using one long enough to get what I need. The system on the ship however was a complete disaster for me. I doubt if I will ever use the internet of future cruises.

The secret is to download you messages. Get off delete what you want answer the rest. Then upload. Takes me 2 or 3 min each time

Gigigagnon....I agree. Most folks use it to keep in touch with family. I have 2 children....grown now..... but we are close.... and 3 fur babies that I like to check in on. Plus I post pictures on social media for friends and family.

If you can't go a week without the internet perhaps you should rethink cruising in the future.

3706bogner.....we love priness cruises but the internet is horrible and they charge a fortune. We used it when we were in Europe and our girls were 15 & 12.....to keep in touch with how they were doing with their grandparents. This was just before smart phones. We take those now and just talk, text and use the internet when we are in port.
