Free WiFI in ports of call

[radioman]

I am sailing on the Celebrity Equinox in February 2025. I did not sign up for any packages that included WiFi.

I am a Elite member and understand I get a 30% discount.

My question is:

Does anyone know if there is free WiFI (iPad, no cell data) in a restaurant or bar in Cayman/George Town or Falmouth/Jamaica at the docking area? 

Thanks

Some of them may have free Wi-Fi and you can always use your cell phone with International roaming.

Certainly there is. If you use free WiFi I hope you have a VPN. What is free is not really free, don’t trust a free hot spot and that includes VPN’s. Don’t trust a free VPN either.

just ask the crew.. or follow them. They know all the hotspots. On one cruise it was an outdoor area behind a library.. no seat but just wifi that made its way out

Sounds like the Bermuda library. I used to see cruise members there outside and a few blocks away outside one of the banks after hours. In Grand Cayman I know that the Hard Rock Cafe had WiFi. Falmouth unfortunately Margaritavile has closed. There was another place but I can’t recall the name.

Libraries and Starbucks are always our go-to locations.

McDonald’s also usually have WiFi too. And bathrooms.

The port terminals almost always have free Wi-Fi.   I use for emails and communication with friends.  Never anything involving finances in any way when using public WI-FI.

Ask any crew member they know for sure.   I'm sure you will find free WiFi -  known places in any port is McDonald's and Starbucks.    Almost all cruise terminal also have free-internet and you will see many crew sitting talking with their families.

 

I have T-Mobile and they have free international data roaming in 198 countries so no longer have to search for it.

We were in Grand Cayman 2 weeks ago. There's a bar in the port area that advertises free internet with a bar purchase, but said their antenna was knocked out during a storm a few weeks ago. Maybe it'll be available by the time you visit. The bartender said a bar just outside the port gate and to the left had internet available, but I can't verify that since we decided to skip internet at that point and instead wait to access the internet in Aruba later in our trip.

If your travels around any city take you by an Apple store you will have access to free WIFI.
