Millennium 10 or 11 day cruise & cell phone

[thecruiser7]

Just curious on the Southern Carribbean cruise if & when your cell phone will normally work without additional charges.

Can you call or text from any or most ports? If it makes any difference, I have AT&T service.

thanks for any feedback.......

Happy New Year..........

I do not believe your cell phone will ever work on a cruise without additional charges with teh exception of maybe the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. On the ship, you need a satellite connection. In any port, you will be roaming. I believe charges on the ship are around $2 to $3 per minute compared to around $10 per minute using regular phones on the ship. Not sure about ports but there are some horror stories about excessive roaming charges in foreign countires. Best way to stay in touch is definitely internet which is not cheap but much cheaper than phone service.
