Wifi hotspots on Western Caribbean?

[disney_dreamin]

Going on the Nov 25th Western Caribbean cruise next week and I'm wondering about free wifi in the ports.

I've heard that there's free wifi at the Starbucks in Cozumel, but does anyone know of any other places for free wifi, both in Cozumel and in the other ports on the Western Caribbean itinerary (Grand Cayman and Falmouth, Jamaica)?

If you like beer, La Internacional Cervezaria across from MEGA has free wifi. Most of the little restaurants along the main drag have free wifi too. I know the little taco joint we stopped in across from the ferry terminal did. A lot of the places will have signs out front advertising free wifi.

The Falmouth port sells port-wide wifi for $10, but Margaritaville has free wifi.

I would find a restaurant over Starbucks in cozumel if it's Wi-Fi you want. (Hooters is right next door and has much better wifi. There's also senior frogs, Jeannies, rock n haha all close by.) I go to cozumel every week and Starbucks only works about 50% of the time...
Grand Cayman, the port used to but not so much now. The shopping area by margaritaville and Pandora gives you 30 minutes free and that's really good. Then if you carry on walking there's another area, just before hard rock, with good free Wi-Fi too and that means you don't have to buy anything to get it.

Following because

1) We're on the same cruise!
2) Never really worried about WI-FI but things at work may cause me to be in need of it and I don't feel like paying thru the nose for it.

Thanks!

We're also on the same cruise. I'm interested just to check in with my sister while we're away (my mom has medical issues so I don't like being incommunicado for 7 days). I figure once in Cozumel and once in Falmouth will suffice.

As opposed to scrambling around to find WiFi hotspots, What I have done is gotten a WiFi hotspot device called SkyRoam, (I in no way am hawking or work for the company I promise I just love it), you can pick up the device on Amazon for about $99 and then buy packs of Day Passes for $40 for 5, which comes out to $8 per day, this ONLY WORK in port, where you have a Cellular Signal, not out at sea. It supports over 150 countries, and once activated you get 24 HOURS of unlimited data on up to 5 devices at the same time. it works great for email, surfing the web, logging into secure websites, and also supports skype and iTalk phone apps. I used it on the recent Westbound Panama Canal Cruise and had no problems with it connecting in Cozumel, Cartagena, Columbia, through the entire Panama Canal, and in Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Varallata. We also went on a short 5 night trip out of Miami to Grand Cayman and Castaway Cay and back to Miami, it worked in Grand Cayman while moored in the harbor since it's a tender port. If you happen to travel from one port to the next with in the 24 hour time frame (from when you activate it) you can keep using it, I got use out of it while we were in Cartagena and then the next morning was using it while we locked through the Panama Canal Atlantic side on the same day pass... This is just an option I'd like to throw out for those that cruise or travel alot. It's rechargable and portable, it fits into your pocket or backpack and still functions just fine.
