Just so everyone is aware...this is not free wifi. Prices are listed in the ad box adjacent to the "story". I used quotes because this looks like a press release masquerading as a news story, and I recall reading about this service late last year when it actually was new. The company probably decided to re-release this announcement since the cruise season is about to start.

 

All that having been said, it's a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a wifi package from your cruise ship.

$14.99 for the time we are docked is a very good deal. We have some free Internet time from the ship but as we have to keep an eye on our business that may not be enough. I look forward to hearing if we might be able to pick it up from the balcony of our ship

Thanks for posting, it isn't terribly bad for 3 days. Cheaper than calling home

I was also wondering about being able to get the wifi from a balcony. It would be fun to skype the kids back home.

I'll be very happy to have WiFi access for the 3 days we're in bermuda @ that price!

Any place at the Dockyard that has computers you can use? I don't have a laptop to bring.

Great news. $14.95 for 3days is a great price I think. Some resorted charge more than that daily. Thanks for sharing this.

Where can we purchase the Wifi? After we get off ship? I keep reading its available, but not how to order it.:confused:

Most likely you connect to the network first and then enter your credit card info

This is such a good news..I hear internet on cruises are expensive and slow..Hope this wifi is fast enough to do face time / Skype with families at home.

[beagle1]

Skype and such uses a lot of bandwidth. The bandwidth is shared among all users online at the same time so if too many people are using skype at the same time it will slow things down for everyone. Lets hope everyone is considerate enough to keep the facetime down so everyone can enjoy.

So now that there are cruisers at the dockyard how is the WIFI? Can you get to work on the ship (not the ships WIFI of course but the new dockyard one)? How is the speed?

So I am at the dockyard aboard NCL Dawn right now using the TBI WIFI. Picked up a coupon with a code at the info center and just typed it in and on line in no time. The only problem is it goes from just barley ok speed to too slow to be of any use. Earlier this afternoon it was so slow I couldn't even check e-mail. Right now it just OK. We are docked port side and I can get a good signal on my 10th deck port side balcony.

Thanks for posting this. What is the cost?

That is great info, we are in an aft cabin so hopefully we will be able to work from the balcony - sad I know work on a cruise but if we do not, we would have to stay at home just in case, and this is one compromise I am happy to make

Just got home from Bermuda!!

I was super excited when I found the TBI wifi service. $3 for an hour - $10 for 24 hours compared to the Carnival rate seemed like a dream!

 

It was very spotty during what I would consider peak hours. I found that very late and very early, the wifi was decent and steady.

Wifi was very bad!

Lots of drops. Slow.

 

Rip off.

I had a feeling it would be this way...........

 

Can I ask, where were you logging on from..? Ship or somewhere on the dockyard? Thanks.

Ship.

 

Dock side. Outside & inside by window.

[Superjoku]

On the ship, dock side, balcony, 5th floor

 

There were times when it worked decently. . .but most of the time it was very slow and lots of drops.

 

Still, I bought another hour after my 24 hours ran out. Much cheaper than package on the ship and I just wanted to message my family on facebook and check email.
