Internet Cafe Question and Microsoft word?

[mom2dina]

Hi my DN will be getting assignements from her teacher while on board (go figure )
She'll need access to email - thats doable via the internet cafe right? Also she'll need to use Microsoft Word for her assignments. Does anyone know if that is available on the computers at the cafe?

Thank you!

Can't remember the costs off hand. But, just a word of caution. It is extremely slow and very expensive.

How about if you bring your own laptop? can you access the internet? is it wireless?

Thank you

Sorry, can't help you with that question. Don't have a laptop.

Yes you can use your own laptop. I bring my own. Just make sure she signs out while she is working on her assignments and is only signed in to send and receive email.

You'll be able to read Word documents on the ship's computers but I don't believe you will be able to edit/save them to return an assignment. You might have to cut and paste whatever is in the word document into an e-mail if you need to edit the test.

From the FAQ post stickied at the top of this forum:

Internet and WiFi package information

Laptop'd be the best option as all the work could be done in advance, then logon and send it then logoff to keep the costs down.

Be aware you MUST logoff from them, even with your own laptop, or the charges will keep going.

there is wireless access if you bring your own laptop

Bring a USB thumbdrive to save documents onto.

Bring a USB thumbdrive to save documents onto.

The DCL computers do not have accessable USB ports to transfer files. (Unless something has changed recently)

Yes, they do have wireless internet onboard and you can use your own laptop. Keep in mind, however, that it is still extremely slow and relatively expensive.
