Has anyone here taken a Disney cruise and used the internet available in the staterooms? I work at home and, unfortunately, take my computer on vacations because I need to continue working; I'm self employed. I need to know if the speed is sufficient to work on-line. Our vacations are arranged around being able to work while we're away, so a good internet system is necessary. I've worked in Italy and Ireland with no problems, but have heard the Disney ships' internet isn't the best.
If you haven't had to work, but used social media while on a cruise, it would help to know your experiences. Was it terribly slow, etc.?
Thanks!

The Internet on a cruise ship is run by satellite. The service can be quite slow. It depends on the ship's location. I just write emails offline and then post to my account. The service is expensive. You should check the price on Disney's site or call their CS.

Just remember, it's not 100% guaranteed you will be able to use the internet at all. If it works, great.

we went on a disney cruise -i think it was for 4 days then 3 at disney world. you are in port part of that time, so the connections might be better than when you are at sea. we went before the internet was a must have.

Thanks everyone! I wondered why Disney would even offer the $89.00 for internet in the staterooms if it's so bad. This connectivity issue seems like the cruise industry is lagging behind in technology. Cars travel much faster than ships and internet connection and speed is wonderful.
