Cruise Line Offers Free High Speed Internet to Crew

Crew members on board Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line can now stay connected to their friends and family at home thanks to complimentary high speed internet and cruise ship WIFI courtesy of the cruise line.

From social media posts to video conferencing, the high speed connection allows for endless possibilities. Crew spaces have been updated to receive the service which was previously only available on land for crew members.

Why Cruise Ship WIFI?

Free WIFI Enhances the Cruise Experience for Crew

Richard Coombs, Vice President of IT Services for Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line, understands the importance of staying connected for a crew that spends a lot of time away from friends and family.

“As a former shipboard IT Manager, I have long understood the importance for crew members to have regular contact with loved ones while at sea,” he said. “I am proud we can now offer this service to our valued crew, delivering the required bandwidth to support services and apps beyond simple e-mail and text messaging.”
