  1. Howdy, going on the Navigator of the Seas on Sept 29, 2013 for 7 nights Eastern Mediterranean cruise. I was wondering about internet access details. I plan on having my iPad and my iPhone and would just like to use my iPad for a few minutes each day to upload/download email and maybe send a text message using the VONAGE MOBILE app. I know that pricing is $0.65/minute or $35 for 60 minutes. My wife will probably have her iPad with her also and would like to do the same. Question: Is WIFI available throughout the ship? (Cabins, Common Areas, Internet cafe) Question: How is access controlled? Would be nice if it were tied to a username/Cabin Number and you could use multiple devices on the single account. ie: I connect for 2 mins with my iPad and download mail. My wife connects for 2 mins with her iPad and downloads mail. Then later in the day I check my email from my iPhone for 1 minute. Total minutes used 5 mins. Question: What is the suggested method for controlling access with your US based phone while the ship is out of the USA(including territories/islands, San Juan, St Thomas, etc)? Would Normal iPad/iPhone settings be AIRPLANE MODE ON and then TURN WIFI ON when you want to connect and then TURN WIFI OFF when you are done? Question: We have SPRINT and they charge $0.50 for outgoing text and $0.05 for incoming texts? To use this would the proper way be to take the iPad/iPhone out of AIRPLANE MODE and then insure that SETTINGS->GENERAL->CELLULAR->Cellular DATA is "OFF". This way your phone is active if a cell tower is available but won't be trying to use Cellular data to check email, surf the web, etc. Any other Suggestions, Tips, Concerns?
