With ships spending overnights in Bermuda, which many people consider paradise on earth, it's also where you'll find one of the best Internet deals anywhere when cruising. How good does $15 for three days sound? That's what Bermudans have come up with in the Dockyard area at Kings Wharf.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"WiFi<\/a>The WiFi hotspot is marked on the sidewalk. It's a short walk from where cruise ships are moored and the signal, according to a story in the Bermuda Sun<\/a>, is sometimes available from the balcony of a ship.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you're not on a ship that's staying for an overnight or two, there's a couple of options for day visitors, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

One hour is $3. The whole day is $10.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now you do have to wonder why anybody would want to spend hours on the Internet when there's such a beautiful place to see, but our lives are so intertwined with WiFi these days that everybody wants to have the option to email, phone or…watch a ball game! And to be able to call home or spend an hour dealing with email for $3 is a bargain almost anywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

An hour online from a cruise ship at 75 cents a minute is $45.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are five ships that regularly visit Bermuda. All of them will visit over the next six weeks, with the end of October also marking the end — more or less – of Bermuda's cruise season. Two of them visit for extended stays.<\/span><\/p>\n

Norwegian Breakaway<\/a> is there for three days a week (Wednesday through Friday). Explorer of the Seas<\/a>, which was spending a couple of nights in Bermuda every second week, is now on a three-day stopover that's identical to the Breakaway's for the remainder of the season. That's more than 7,000 passengers a week — not to mention crew members who can buy a monthly package for just $30.<\/span><\/p>\n

None of them will find those Internet rates on the water.<\/span><\/p>\n
