In 2012, nearly half the nation was in possession of Apple Devices alone. Although cruises are a great vacation, there are occupations, lawyers for example, are reliant on their email and need to have access to it should a judge or opposition need to reach them. With poor internet, Carnival Cruise loses a large group of working people who are able to spend money. Improving Wi-Fi would also most likely make cruises much more attractive option for business meetings. However, one major problem that could arise is if people need to pay for Wi-Fi access. Many times younger kids may sign up for an expensive Wi-Fi plan if it is not offered as complementary. I do agree that if people spend their whole vacation on their phones, then there really is no vacation. However, one benefit of requiring people to pay for Wi-Fi service is possibly preventing people from spending 24/7 on their phones. I would recommend that the purchase of a code is something that needs to be done in person at check-in. Although I personally would not want everyone in my family to constantly be on their phones, I do agree this is a huge benefit for cruise goers.Bradley Schoberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373331530878665820noreply@blogger.com
