Life for the crew on a cruise ship can be hard. With contracts of up to ten months, they sail often repetitive itineraries and some crew members are allowed ashore on a rotating basis in some ports and then for only a short time. For those thousands of miles from home, free Wi-Fi is a boon. In La Coruña this is available at Los Cantones Village Shopping Centre right next to the quay and can be received outside the building so there were individuals and small groups snatching those few moments of precious contact with family and friends. 200_2_P1000458
