Last October I used my laptop to post a live trip report with pics from WDW and from the Disney Magic. We bought 250 minutes and went through it quickly.
I typed up my report in Word including the text links to my photos, I edited my photos in Photoshop and then when I connected all I did was copy and paste into the thread and upload my pics to my server. When we had time to read the replies, I just loaded each page quickly then I hit "work offline", brought the laptop back to our room and hubby and I would read them there.
This only took about 5-7 minutes MAX each day. Then everyday my hubby would download his mail which took another 5-10 minutes per day. One day hubby did some online banking which took about 10 minutes.
That's ALL we did and we ran out of minutes by Thursday night!!! I was not happy. I went to see the CM who was in charge of the computers and she printed me off our usage minutes which stated that we had used 249.75 minutes!!!! We had about 7 logs that logged in over 25 minutes each!!!! Come on people!! Neither of us were ever even GONE that long WITH the laptop so we know that we didn't use up all of our minutes but she refused to even listen to me since it was all right there in black and white (that's what she said!)
If I could have uploaded photos on their computers, I would have chosen the
unlimited package but apparently you can't do that.
It also would have been nice if Disney had in room internet access. I don't understand why they don't yet?? We cruised with
RCCL in 2003 and they had stateroom internet access back then!!!
Can't wait for your report!!!!
