I think my question was answered. I was wondering if ethernet was provided for a hard-wired experience in the staterooms. I was taking a tiny laptop to organize day pics into, look ahead to the next port, and to keep a log of our trip. I imagine the cost would have been the reason for Wi-Fi only. I just couldn't find the answer, until now! At our home it's much faster than Wi-Fi since it's a hard-wired connection. Most things use a connection these days; TVs, receivers, DVD players, refrigerators, laptops, desktops, fitness equipment, tablets, phones...the list goes on and on. Most of mine are ethernet to free up tablets and phones. Thanks for the suggestions and replies!
