You go on a cruise to get away from it all! Go out there to relax and enjoy the view. You will have plenty of time to surf the Internet when you get back from your vacation. I swear. Some people need the Internet everywhere they go. :uhh:
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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13668155 Wed, 15 Jun 2005 22:04:10 EDT Re: Internet Withdraw http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13667369 juicelee : That's the planetc guy, right?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13667369 Wed, 15 Jun 2005 20:20:35 EDT Re: Internet Withdraw http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13667099 ArchAngel21x :

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.

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!
