We consider ourselves lucky because we don't need the internet, we enjoy getting away from it on a cruise. As Elite, we used to get some time free, but Princess took that away, which makes us even less inclined to pay for it. Also we have enjoyed going to local libraries and stores that offer free internet.
Cruising used to be so simple -- it was about the cruise and destinations -- not about all the "options", which many people, including Princess employees, have trouble following.
