Any experience with this? If there was ever a better forum full of internet addicts to ask - I've yet to see one.

What, if any, kinds of speeds should I be expecting? How will I connect? And so forth.

Looking like it will be a four month gig with six shows per week. So I'll have quite a bit of downtime.
 
They had it on a ship i went on like 2 years ago? I would assume most have it and its expensive, but thats about it.

You are going on a cruise and you wanna spend time on the internet? GTFO go have fun and you better bring me a souvenir. 😀

Actually, it looks like I'll be touring with Second City onboard a cruise liner this summer. So I'll be on it for four months. I guess this means I won't be playing L4D in my downtime.

Yeah - Second City:

http://secondcity.com/

They have companies on several Norwegian Cruise Ships. Like I said, I'll be on one for a four month gig, so after the first week or so, I imagine it will start to become like any other job 😉

Second City - you know - Belushi, Ackroyd, Murray, SNL etc etc?
 
Josh if you're in Chitown ever please PM me, I'd love to grab a drink.

Also another one of my buddies works on SC, you might know him?
 
No worries. I'm finding out that they charge $.75 A MINUTE for internet on a boat. Haven't we technologically progressed past that as a society? That's worse than AOL in it's heyday.

If you're in the middle of the freakin' ocean wouldn't they have to bounce it off a satellite or something?

CAT5 From my house, I was hoping 🙁

The cruise runs from Seattle to Alaska, btw.

Yes, but you can also get satellite internet for $60 a month @ 10x dialup speeds.

Last time I was on ship it was $.50 a minute.

I can't believe they can't wire a cruise liner with Cat5.

You can get dial-up in your stateroom cheap if you have a laptop and if you don't mind it disconnecting every 30 seconds. !!!!:|:|:|:|!!!!

Maybe the newer ships have it.

 
If you are doing Alaska then get a cell phone and provider that allows tethering. Obviously wont work on sea days but in ports it will be fine.
