Cruise lines cater to Web addiction
Not long ago, only a handful of cruise liens had internet cafes. But no longer.
“Internet access on a cruise ship was the exception, rather than the norm, but that’s now reversed,” said Bob Levinstein, CEO of CruiseComplete.com, a competitive cruise pricing Web site.
Guests’ demand to stay linked to the Web has led to virtually every major cruise line now offering passengers a variety of ways to stay connected.
The entire Carnival fleet, for example, offers wireless internet access in designated areas near its internet cafes. They’re open 24 hours a day.
Celebrity Cruises also offers internet access and shipboard e-mail services 24 hours a day.
Crystal Cruises and Cunard Line are among those offering computer labs and courses.
Royal Caribbean International’s “Cybercabin” service makes it even more convenient because guests’ can use their personal laptops to connect to the internet from their staterooms.
