I've been hearing about the mini a lot recently and was wondering if they might be serviceable on a cruise balcony? I'm not a fan of paying $400-$600 or so for the two of us on a 15+ day cruise. We have some mid status perks that give us a limited amount of WiFi per cruise, however I always end up paying for the upgrade to 24/7 connections. I haven't heard of the cruise lines prohibiting the practice, but I assume it may not be long until they find an excuse to ban them. I don't think the service is marine based yet anyway, as they have a special category of marine service I think, which is much pricier I believe.

Maybe by next spring this could be an option to consider.
