Building Carnival Cruise Line's New, Just-Like-Home, Internet Service
If you're headed for a cruise, you're going to find that the on board Internet experience has changed a lot. Just a few short years ago, you paid $.SO per/minute or more for creeping, crawling Internet. You paid, and you logged on and you waited and you waited, while all the time the meter was running. If you remember the days of 2,000 baud modems, service was like that. All you could do was dash off a few short e-mails, and that's was about it. Now it's a lot different, especially on Carnival. There, the cruise ship Internet experience is high speed, making communication an integral part of the cruise experience.
