schmenge Posted May 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Could you please advise what internet options exist on JOS? Rates for Ship computers? Same options exist for personal I-Pad? Any coupons for Platinum Members? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Could you please advise what internet options exist on JOS? Rates for Ship computers? Same options exist for personal I-Pad? Any coupons for Platinum Members? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Platinum members get 15% or $7.50 (whichever is greater) off an internet package. I believe Jewel still charges by the minute, starting at $0.85/minute. Packages will reduce the per minute price.

lewinr Posted August 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2014 If you already sailed then I'm interest to know about how was the internet on the Jewel OTS. I know Jewel OTS has not undergone refurbishment yet... is there in-room internet or only in public areas? How is the speed? Thanks Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare niksmom630 Posted August 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2014 If you already sailed then I'm interest to know about how was the internet on the Jewel OTS. I know Jewel OTS has not undergone refurbishment yet... is there in-room internet or only in public areas? How is the speed? Thanks Ron I believe on our last cruise, I was able to pick up a signal on our balcony, as it was a Jr. Suite on Deck 10, (1548) which is directly below one of the hot spot areas. However, some of the hot spots (Solarium) are really not that "hot". The best signal to be had on the Jewel was in the Centrum. The speed is not great--compared to what I have experienced on other ships like Allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nbsjcruiser Posted August 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Jewel only has internet in about a half-dozen hotspots about the ship. No in-room internet. Given how frustratingly slow internet is on any ship I've been on, I don't see why people bother. Its a challenge just to catch up on email or check the weather back home. Not worth it.

ERTHDOG Posted August 21, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2014 although a hassle , sometimes people MUST use the internet on the ship back in 2011 , on the allure , my wife was required to participate in an online meeting for school , it was an unfortunate scheduling problem ,but we bought the package and we had great in room internet access on the tv:) so ya gotta do what ya gotta do;) dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
