I moved this so as not to clutter Luke's fab thread. Originally posted by cindyr:
I'm sure you have realized this by now, but the middle computer on the right side of the room is the only one that has a word pad. I was able to do all my typing and cut and paste in when the "meter was running". I always travel with my laptop for e-mail, and plan on bringing it to the PG. Without cell phone service, it gives me peace of mind that someone can reach me that way if nec, by my logging in every evening before bed. The PG has an Internet hookup in the cabins, yes? You just pay by the minute as you do in the computer room?

Sue,
Hopefully my post this a.m. will answer at least some of your questions. There is no hardwire internet connection in the room and I have not yet tried the wireless. With our cabin, I prefer to type with an unobstructed view. However, if I had your aft balcony, I would welcome the chance to type and surf the net form my balcony. I'll check the wireless availability from our Deck 3 cabin and ask some folks on Deck 7 if they have wireless availability.

We will be in 739 on our June 10th sailing, and I plan to bring my laptop...mostly for downloading and organzing photos on a day by day basis instead of facing that 'chore' when the trip is done. But I am also anxious to learn more about the wireless capabilities/process as sending wireless post-cards home will be nice.
I did see your other posting, and am enjoying your posts. I feel like I am getting a rolling start on our trip.
Thanks
Steve

I am online now from La Palette, the lounge on the aft of Deck 8. I was told that wireless is available here and on the Deck 5 hallway where the card room is located. I was NOT able to connect in our cabin.

Luke, Sue is NOT in an aft cabin, I think that's why she wants you to case out the front of the ship. She's next to the bridge on 7, and so others onboard should know she has navigational skills if she needs to hop on the bridge! How different can it be from a jumbo jet, right, Sue?

Welcome back--didn't you just return home from a cruise...or am I thinking of someone else?! I finally straightened Luke out :) and in the other thread he went spying for me and almost fell in on the captain's cabin. As for helping on the bridge, although both our "ships" carry about the same # of passengers, I'm on vacation, baby. They'll have to figure it out on their own! (I will try to grab a bridge visit, tho--I always find it so fascinating seeing how these high-tech ships operate)
