E-mail for Cruisers: Checking your e-mail on a cruise line's computer can get very expensive. To limit my costs on board, I always bring my laptop and type out e-mails to friends and family in a Word document first. When I'm ready to send the e-mails, I log on to my e-mail service and then cut and paste the text. This way, I get to write my e-mails without feeling rushed by the mounting fees, and I spend less time on my vacation going online.
