Passengers who subscribe to email services from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) are advised to verify that their ISP has a web-mail viewing site prior to sailing. Most major ISPs have websites that allow mail access via a web browser using an email address and password. Please contact the Passenger Services/Purser's desk on board for information regarding the charges that apply to internet and wireless services, the hours of operation and any other specific requirements.

Ship internet access is not guaranteed at all times due to the nature of satellite communications, which are subject to disruption from weather and obstructions. Connection speed is also significantly slower than onshore.
