We are sailing on Constellation in October and wanted to know how much they charge for internet access. Do they charge you a flat fee for the entire cruise or do they charge you be the minute and how much is it.

We will be sailing for 13 days and wanted to stay in touch with some people.

Thanks in advace.

We just returned from the Constellation and used the internet access. I think it was .75 a minute. The connection was good and fast, though.

We created an email folder named CRUISE before we went containing the addresses of all the people we wanted to read our reports . Then we 'published' a Cruise Report#1, etc. after getting back on ship each afternoon/evening to that address and it reached everyone with one fell [and inexpensive] swoop. That way we saved money even though the reports were not that personal.

thomaseu - Thanks for the info - do you know if you are allowed to dowload the picture from your camera on the PCs to send with your messages or is the connection just for checking e-mail and surfing the web?

Do they use a perticular provider like AOL or Yahoo to send e-mail?

Thanks again.

I don't think you can download but not sure.

After signing on with an account number set up with Constellation [for billing purposes] I just went to Yahoo.com and signed on to my account. It was very easy. The first time on you swipe your room card and set up an account with a temporary password [I used my room number].

I used the hourly rate for email contacts, and was able to keep in touch with the family for a reasonable outlay. You can also send post cards from the on board terminals, but if you type as slowly I do you it can get costly if your not careful. After each session your fee will be added to your on board account so you can keep track of your charges with the interactive tv in your cabin.

Do the Millenium class ships have "hotspots" like some others? For those of us with laptops, that wish to use them? Or do they have in room connection?
