Internet Access and Fees

[janeyzee]

Have any of you paid for internet packages on the Allure? I was curious what the fees were. I can do without it for 7 days but if it's cheap enough I'd love to check email and maybe post a few pictures on Facebook. I understand you can use your own computer, the in-room keyboard/TV computer and other computers in various areas of the ship. Any advice? :confused:

My husband has windows on his macbook? I'm sure you could still use the ship computers. :)

I second kwalt83's comment about Don

 

Also regarding mac users - I just downloaded windows 5.something on my macs - had to for a program that my employer makes me use.

I can't remember the website that I found it at, just googled internet explorer for mac and it came up.

Good luck

Happy sails all!!!

On Oasis last year, iPad and MacBook Air both worded fine.

Thanks everyone. Glad to know it's not outrageously expensive. And after I saw the answer here (thanks kwalt83!), I did Google it and also came up with the answer all by myself :)

There is a booth in the On Air Club that takes your picture or video and sends it for free to whatever email addresses you specify.

On the Oasis there are no specific hot spots, unlike the older ships, so Allure should have wifi everywhere and especially in the cabins.

That's cool, I'll have to remember that and send a video/picture to our store so the employees can see we're having a really good time :p

With so much to do on the ship, I'm hoping that my addiction to the internet and facebook will fade away for the week, but having WiFi everywhere is sure a plus in my opinion
