Laptop Computer in Dawn AA

[NYHartChapp]

Greenie mentioned in "Chunk #2" that there was a laptop in their cabin. Is this standard for AA on Dawn? If so, Greenie (or anyone else who might know), a couple of questions:

a. Is it windows or mac?

b. Is there a CD burner and USB port that can be used to burn digital pix directly from camera card to CD/W?

c. Does it have a WiFi card to connect to ship's ISP?

 

Thanks in advance.

Great questions NYHartChapp! We're sailing an AA next March, and I'm wondering the same things.

 

Also, oh wise, experienced, and helpful prior AA cruisers, is Internet and e-mail use in an AA billed at the same rate as the computers in the Internet Cafe?

 

Thanks for advising, Carla

Hi Carla,

 

It's our 25th, too! Still can't believe it went so fast. :eek: Will let you know what the setup is if you haven't found answers by then.

Yes you do need to sigh up for a plan.

But still unanswered i think - usb port? cd burner drive?

 

enquiring minds want to know!

 

HI! DH, OP is my DH, I'm away on business, so good night sweetie! :)

Hi Shoreguy,

 

Does plan involve a single pc, or do you receive a temp username and password for their isp for use on any pc onboard?

 

Thanks.

You get a single login or multiple if you want that can be used in the suite, the internet cafe or your own laptop.

In the AA on the dawn, there are now 3 year old vintage Gateway laptops with a USB abd a CD writer. You might want to bring the appropriate driver for your camara if needed. You can get wireless in some of the AA. At the time we sailed on her, which was almost 2 years ago the wireless was actually faster in load time than the Cat-5 cabling.

If you can't get it in the suite. The Atrium and pool area are hot spots.
