Carnival Sunshine internet

[youagain]

Ok looks like daughter has some college class work due during a cruise in March. Since there are 4 sea days was hoping she could finish and send off the ship.We are going to Aruba, Bonaire and Grand Turk do not know if that makes any difference. Any suggestions. Internet package? Better to send off one of the Islands? Any help appreciated!

I sailed a couple of times with Carnival but only purchased the Value Wi-Fi plan on the last cruise in July 2017 on the Sensation. I thought I would be able to check my work email but I was only able to access Facebook two or three times to communicate with my mom. It barely worked for me during the 5 days cruise. Waste of money for me!

I think there were 3 levels of plans/speeds. I bought the middle version and it was extremely slow at times. Also felt like it was a waste of money.

 

You would need the highest level in this case in my opinion since you couldn’t depend upon the other two levels. I would talk to the internet manager the first day to see what file size restrictions there maybe even in the top package to see if she would need to send on an island instead.

 

Have a great trip. We enjoyed the ship very much!

We did the same itinerary on the Vista over Thanksgiving... I bought the middle tier for a 24 hr period for the last 2 days (sea days). It was slow but I accomplished what I needed to do which included checking in for our return flight boarding passes.

The connection was horrible on Sunshine over New Years for us. I couldn’t even load Facebook. We had no problems on the Magic last year but Sunshine was horrible.

I did not know you could buy for only a couple of days! Can you buy ahead of time for only a couple of days? Thanks so much for replies this is weighing heavily on her as she wants to keep up her grades.

buy the top tier plan and you will be fine, it's slower than an iPhone but does the job. You can print boarding passes for free in the internet cafe. They have links to the airlines.

Sorry but do not need airline tickets just great service to send assignments to professors. We actually are driving. Can some one explain the single day offering and how much and can you buy ahead of time? I am also looking into the islands we are stopping at to see if we can send from there. Some one suggested Hotels. We would be probably interested in Aruba, Bonaire and especially Grand Turk as it is our last island day . Any and all info is greatly appreciated. THANKS!
