Thanks, all. I consider those prices to be outrageous! Our last two cruises were on the Star Princess in the Greek Isles and downunder; if you've cruised with Princess 5 times, computer use is completely free. But that's another story because this is the Celebrity board, and that's the line our upcoming cruise is with.
We, too, have used the internet cafes in ports, but many of their computers in South America and far out ports are very slow. Additionally, the keyboards are different than American keyboards, so many times I hit the wrong key, and it sometimes instructs the computer to do the wrong thing. However, they do work, and they are certainly much, much cheaper than any cruiseline's prices.
GloBug, in Alaska you should find internet cafes, or cybercafes, but they won't be the super cheap deals that they are in many foreign ports. In US cities they're often in the 25-35 cents per minute range, which is cheaper in the ship, but still runs up pretty fast. In foreign ports we often find them in the $1.50 per hour range.
To find one in port, ask your waiter or cabin boy, or ask the deck guys up in the pool area. Some of them will be able to direct you to where the cheapest prices are for internet cafes on land. Usually they are not too far from the dock.

I learned before my 1st cruise that the stewards are loaded with info on the ports you visit. I will be sure to ask them. Thanks for all the info everyone!
