Question Wireless connection in my cabin?

Hi there
I read on another thread that you can get wireless connection in any stateroom if you own a laptop. If that is right....Does Princess charge for this? Can anyone advise? This is the first time I have heard of this.

On Holland America ships you can use your laptop in the stateroom or connect at the internet cafe with your computer or those provided.
The charge with HAL is 200 minutes for $100 or 100 minutes for $55 -plus a $3.98 registration fee. You sign up at the internet cafe once you are on the ship.

Computer charges are the same whether you use their computers or your laptop. Wireless availability in each cabin varies by ship. EM

Yes Princess has wireless. I think the price was $75/120 min. then the price went up from there for larger bundles of minutes. You could also pay by the minute. If you have a suite then you get it unlimited use for free.
