happyaussies Posted August 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2011 hello all, I read somewhere that some ports in New Zealand..can't remember which one now will have free wifi portside after the World Games Can someone refresh my memory and also are there any other ports with this facility? Hong Kong & Brunei offer this we discovered on our last cruise thanks B&B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwijohn Posted August 25, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2011 HI Happy Aussies, I posted the information some time ago. Wellington will have free WiFi along the waterfront from the Cruise Terminal to the National Museum Te Papa and in the whole of the Central Business District from Parliament to Courtenay Place. It is hoped to have it in place before the World Cup starts in a few weeks. To my knowledge no other NZ ports offer free WiFi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargoK Posted August 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Happyaussies - the best place to find free Wifi these days is in cafes like Starbucks and The Coffee Club. As I don't use Wifi (Yet) I am not sure of the whole range of places wifi can be found, but someone will come along and let you know. A good tip we were given - see where the crew go when they are ashore! In Melborne there is a small shopping complex just off the wharf which was a superette, liquor store and cafe. It was packed with crew all on their laptops!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raison Posted September 4, 2011 #14 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Ah, sorry for misleading you, seems I was wrong! It is not available every where yet in McDonalds. 11500 locations in the US, many locations in the UK, Aus, and NZ, with more coming online. Didn't check out Europe though. We must have been lucky, every time we have gone to a Maccas for wi fi access we have been able to hook up (Aus and overseas locations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
