Wi-Fi in Alaska Ports?

[kayaker35]

Does anyone know if there are convenient free wi-fi hot spots in Juneau, Ketchikan, and Skagway? I'll have my iPad along on my upcoming cruise, and if my cell phone doesn't work well in AK, would like to know that I have a back-up.

Thanks!

There's a brand-new library in Skagway where you can use their Wi-Fi for free. The town is so tiny the library has very limited hours -- 12 noon til 5 p.m. There other places that have Wi-Fi but it isn't free.

Thanks for the info.

We used the library at Juneau. It's right at port.

Super! We have a Tracfone, and I'm not sure if it will work in AK or not. I've gotten reports both ways. If I can get to a wi-fi hot spot, I'll be all set and can get/send email and instant messages on the days we're in port.

Thanks!
