Nightfallpa

My husband had to get his renewed recently and it was astoundingly fast (IMO.)

I love this thread, thank you! And although we are first-time cruisers (leaving Monday), I am putting in something I found valuable: I called my cell carrier (Verizon) and the customer service rep told me to save my money and don't bother activating the Global plan for the month. She told me to put the phone in Airplane Mode, and use the ship's Wifi (which we're getting as a package anyway because, well, kids) and download an app to call and text friends/family for free over that (as long as we have them download the same app.)

How cool is that? A phone rep telling us not to spend our money with the phone company LOL! Some popular ones are Whatsapp, Dingtone and Talkatone. So if you were worried at all about absolutely having to have phone access, this is something to consider. (This also solves the thing about not having a clock in in the cabin, especially in the middle of the night.)

Thanks for this review! We depart in just 10 days on our first cruise ever aboard the Sky and it sounds wonderful!
