Any wireless laptop will connect from a wireless hotspot on the ship. I.E. if your laptop has 802.11b g capability (and almost all newer laptops do) you are good to go.
Once you get to the hotspot you will open your browser and you will get the ship's sign up screen where you can purchase minutes and set up your account. The Internet Cafe will have full details on how to set up your account and the cost of bundled minute packages.
I have brought my laptop on every one of my cruises since 2000 and have used it each time. One thing to remember: Don't expect blazing speeds!!!!
Take care,
