Related Entries: Electronics
If you are the type that plans vacation destinations based on 24 hour internet connectivity support, then today is your lucky day. Beginning this summer, the ultra luxury, all-suite cruise ships Seabourn Pride, Spirit and Legend are being upgraded to create one continuous accessible wi-fi “hot zone” throughout each ship, allowing you to connect to the internet via on a cruise vacation. Seabourn has conquered the challenge by installing an active access network manufactured by Wi-Fi Zone that blankets most of the ship, with few “dead zones” or areas where the system is not accessible. Seabourn has also secured a new satellite service provider that is considerably more economical than the company’s previous connection, which results in dramatically lower costs for telephone calls and internet connections than were required in the past. The Internet Center on board each yacht has also been refreshed with new PCs, software, printers and other accessories. It will cost you $4.95 per minute for voice, and 50 cents per minute for the Internet connection.
