Can I get my local paper on the ship?
 
I love reading my local newspaper every morning. Is there anyway that I can get it delevered to the ship (maybe if I pay extra)? Can I access it for free on the ship's Internet or will I have to pay for that? How much should I expect to pay for this service?

You can get it with a laptop and an internet connection in your room. $.50/minute.<BR><BR>Read fast and don't do the cross word puzzle.

Internet access is not available in your cabin on all ships - in fact, there are some older ships sailing that don't even have internet cafes on them. The rates for usage also varies from cruise line to cruise line. Some offer a flat fee for the week ($75-$100 I believe). Best to check their website.

Sure Nick, you can have your local hometown paper delivered to you cabin with your coffee each morning.

Only if your newspaperboy has a really good arm.

If he gets his newspaper I want my mail

Oh come on Cliff--You are the type who ruins a good thing!! Just cause we get our papers with our coffee each morning, you have to go and ask for your daily mail!! Dang!!

No.

Yes Aug 1st, 2002 12:13 PM

No what Elaine? Just because a girl says no, I know for a fact that she , in many cases, doesn't mean no.

Elaine Aug 1st, 2002 12:16 PM

Ooops...No. No AND yes. Don't know.<BR><BR>Have fun and forget about your paper till you get back home!

Why bother going away at all? Why not check into a local hotel, get a room with all the cable channels, have a paper delivered and get room service. Or better yet stay home than you can vacation exactly as you like.<BR><BR>
