Internet on QM2

Hi

Where on the ship is the net available

We will have a few free hours

Can you send from the middle of the Atlantic

Will only do a few emails I think.

So not really important, but I like to know.

You can get Maritime internet connection pretty much anywhere. Buy an internet plan or by the minute. It's easy to configure and has reception all over the ship. Sometimes it's busy. Best to try once first sitting has started.

I found one of the best places was in Sir Samuels lounge. If you have email client on your phone/tablet it is best to write the email then connect - send - then disconnect. It saves your free mins. Always remember to log out.

You will have to buy internet minutes either by the minute or in packages, there is no free internet. They are expensive and the speed is very slow. There in an internet center in the "Conexxions" area with wired p.cs. These might be best for you if your only going to send emails.

If you have a wireless equipped p.c. you can use it in your room or suite, but as previously mentioned, there may be times, when many people are trying to use the service where you might not be able to connect. Early AM or late PM seem to be the best times.

The protocol to log on and sign off is less than user friendly, and failure to logoff and end the session, will cause you to waste minutes which you have paid for at a pretty steep price. So pay close attention to the process.

And yes you can use the service in mid-Atlantic, Pacific as the connection is via satellite.

Good luck and enjoy your voyage.

Cheers Mike

Some members get free internet mins due to their status in World Club. For instance Gold members get 2 hours free.

You need to sign out through logout.com in your browser. Just becomes part of the process.

You can access cunard.com for free. This is useful for testing the connection speed (I suppose it's possible that the pages are served from a local cache though).

It used to be that the cruise booking pages were served from pocruises.com which meant you couldn't access those pages for free while on board but on the Christmas cruise I was able to check prices and stateroom availability via Cunard.com with the meter not running.

Thank you all :)

You can connect for free to the Cunard.com website from the login pages. Before you enter any of your own details, passwords etc.

I don't know how that is different from what I said.
