Internet Friendly Cruise Lines?

ttyp0 asks: "The team of upper management at my company, including myself want to take a week long cruise vacation together. Unfortunately, being away from the office and unable access the Internet is terrifying in the case of an emergency. Are there any cruise lines that provide internet access in the cabins (ethernet jack)? If you've been on a cruise recently, who do you recommend?" Those boats are big enough, you figure at least one of the larger cruise lines have thrown a modest satellite and a small Internet cafe on one by now.

Royal Caribbean has in room access by Jasonr1023 · 2002-06-11 06:13 · Score: 2, Funny

I just got back from my honeymoon. I was on Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas. There is in-room 56k modem access. I did not look into the fees. They also have a "business" center that has computers that can be used at 50c/min that are connected to the outside world.

Telephone calls to shore are a killer: 8$/min!

In jamaica, and grand cayman there were internet cafes.

I was on my honeymoon, so I did not so much as even think about touching a keyboard.

Hope this helps!
