Yes, this is the big gotcha, the fact that it's timed. Last time I was on a boat (Princess Cruises)I think I prepaid something like $99 to get a slightly better rate, but ended up getting virtually nothing for it because it was so slow. It was taking me several minutes just to log in. It would be so much better to pay by the MB, then even if it costs an arm and a leg you know exactly what you are going to get for your money.
PS Can someone tell me what I did to turn the words "it costs" above into a green link ?
PPS Now I've done that edit it's gone away again. But I get lots of green links in other people's posts and don't really understand why they are there
