Going on a cruise..

Post by **YourGrandpa** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 12:30 am

I'm going on a 6 day carribean cruise tomorrow and bought a new toy to take with me. I bought a Toshiba, Satellite A215-S774. Does anyone know if they have wireless internet on a cruise? I'm prolly not gonna use it much, but it'd be nice to send back photos while on the trip...

I've never been on cruise either. So this is gonna be new experience for the whole family. Ijust hope we don't get sea sink.

They will not have wireless internet on the cruise. They will however charge you up the ass to use their Cafe...

Well Shit. I guess that answers that.

What cruise line were you on?

Norwegian in Hawaii. Twas boring on the ship, fun on the shore. There's fuck all to do when at sea but drink. Also the 18-22 foot seas wern't fantastic either but you shouldn't have that problem in the Carabean. Also I hope you got ouside rooms with balconies, or are totally unclostrophobic.

A cruise eh? Hmmm. Not sure if I'd do that myself but I'm sure being in the Caribbean will be great. You learning a bit of Spanish for the trip? What are your ports of call?

Our ship is the Norwegian Pearl and we have a ocean view room. It looks nice from what you cn see on the net. Though I've heard that those rooms can be quite small.

You never have a positive thing to say about anything or anyone, so your opinion is, as usual, worthless.
Some people happen to prefer package holidays where everything is taken care of.

you're going on a 6 day cruise, and you need a laptop to send photos? who the fuck is going to miss you that quick?

Cruises are sick. I've been up the west coast from Vancouver to Alaska; around the Caribbean; around the Mediterranean (but mostly the Greek area); and up/along the St. Lawrence. Enjoyed every one of them, too, as long as it's a nice line the food will be ace.

Congrats~ You will have fun! Half the fun is the being on the ship. Depending on which ship you're on they do have internet access. Just like they do on land the Cafe's will have internet access. Take your lap top and you can keep up your post count.

Internet access is becoming as ubiquitous on cruise ships as the dessert tray. The advance in the last few years for access to the Web from cruise ships and their destinations worldwide is nothing short of amazing. Not only are there Internet cafes on many cruise ships today, a cybercafe can be found in almost any port worldwide -- we've connected everywhere from Poland to Papeete, Tahiti in the middle of the Pacific Ocean! The newest vessels have direct access from your stateroom over wireless connections.

Falling off a wakeboard at the local sewer/lake doesn't count.

If it was that bad you'd have stopped going on cruises after the first or second, yet you still went on four of them.

If you are into excursions, try stingray city at Grand Cayman. The water around the sandbar is a beautiful, crystal clear, blue.

I went on to the Alaska cruise with Princes Cruises, I loved the parts where the sea was rough, it was part of the reason I chose to go to the Alaska cruise, to experience the feeling of the high seas. I remember back in Europe in the Adriatic Sea, when we sometimes had 2 to 3 meeter high waves, I would swim far off the shore, and once I caught up to the wave it would wash me back up to the beach at break neck speeds, that was priceless. So yeah, rough seas don't bother me, calm seas would... It would be to boring.

Not all ships are filled with old people. You have to select the correct cruise company, and a correct cruise they offer. Some are for fifty somethings, other are for families and some for younger people. The temperature and the calm of the seas is a big factor in that. You don't just walk in to any travel company and pick a random cruse. You read up, and look around, and make sure it's not choke full of walking skeletons.
