Re: Internet Withdraw
You forget that there are a lot of CREW that live on these things for months at a time. My Bro-In-Law is one of them. Being the Naval Architect of the ship he is on I am sure he will appreciate this info.

I swear. Some people need the Internet everywhere they go.  The article is talking about Business meetings on the cruise is becoming more common. So, this move is towards satisfying that market segment. Businessmen need to be connected. Also, given the high charges associated with Wi-Fi usage, not many people will choose to do this. Bandwidth on the cruise is very expensive. |

Well... the Internet isn't just a toy Neither are the computer or the phone, but it is good to turn those damn things off and get away from them for a short time.

I swear. Some people need the Internet everywhere they go. Well... the Internet isn't just a toy anymore, a lot of people rely on it for a lot of things. For example, my previous boss who was the owner of a large stock brokerage firm enjoyed going on vacation, but he also wanted to receive daily reports on how certain stocks are doing so he can tell the staff to sell or buy. Having e-mail availability on a cruise would allow us to e-mail him the reports in the morning and for him to check them over. Instead, he'd call us (and his lesiure) and we'd scramble to get all the reports.
Also, wouldn't it be nice to e-mail the grandparents recent photos of their grandchildren playing in the pool?
I wouldn't mind having access to the Internet. Having the ability to relax at night on the main deck in a lawn chair surfing the net and chatting with friends in the middle of the ocean. That kicks ass!
