Recently took a vacation on a cruise ship. I heard mixed reviews from everyone I talked to. Some loved it, some hated it.<p>I loved it and can't wait to do another one. We got a balcony, and I loved just sitting out on the balcony and watching the ocean. I kept thinking how I wish I had my laptop and could do work this way.<p>The free food, balcony, and exploring the ports were my favorite parts. I don't drink, or party, so that wasn't part of the fun for me -- but it seemed like most of the other people on the ship were there for that reason.<p>The only thing that I didn't like were the people on the ship, and I felt bad at how lowly paid the crew were.
Serious question - is the mobile signal terrible if you're cruising on the Med? My data plan is £2 a day for about 500mb (or something like that) when out of the UK. That would probably suffice, assuming there was enough signal to bother tethering...
The internet on cruise ships are super slow and very expensive. So I don't know how to programming on the cruise ship would work if you are connecting to a server.
I keep thinking about that article, working on a cruise ship.
