I read somewhere that higher priced cabins get Internet access for a verty reasonalbe charge or even free. Is this true?
Thanks again for the feedback, keep it coming
Yes, on some lines, the "higher priced cabins" get free or very inexpensive internet. But that does not fall in line with your idea of VALUE. Usually $800-1000 per person more than inside (or bargain outside) cabin will get you a mini suite and $1500pp+ will get you a suite where you MAY get inexpensive or free internet. $2000-3000 for a weeks worth of free internet? I don't think so.
If you take a port intensive cruise, there will be internet cafes close to the docks in most ports. A lot of them are wi-fi, so you can take your laptop. Otherwise, you will pay a LOT for ship internet. And it is a VERY slow connection.
You're on vacation. Forget the internet. Too many things to do on the cruise, without a computer. You can check email in ports. If someone really needs to get in touch with you (emergency), you can be contacted on the ship via ship to shore phone. Enjoy your cruise!!!!
