DVC Internet on Cruise?

[arthur06]

I know that if you are staying on points you get free internet at the resort, but do you get internet on a cruise booked through MS on points?

[LIFERBABE]

No
Your points cover the cruise itself any extras are oop

You only get free internet at DVC resorts booked through MS. So anything else booked through MS will not get free internet.

Considering the ridiculous number of points they charge, I think free internet would be reasonable. Probably not all day free internet. But if free internet at the resorts is a $12(?) perk, $12 worth of free internet on the ship sure would be nice.

Well, it costs a ridiculous number of points for non-DVC WDW stays and you don't get free internet there, either.

$9.95 per day for internet at a WDW resort = about 15 minutes on a Disney cruise ship at (IIRC) $.75 per minute.

I have a slightly off topic question, do DVC members get discounts cruises when paying cash like at the resorts? TIA:)

.75 cents per minute? We are doing a 4 night cruise and BWV and BLT stay and was going to do a Live TR, but at .75 per minute, I will have to pass!
