I Luv Crusin Posted September 30, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I've looked on Carnival Wedsite but can no longer find the phone number to call the ship in an emergency. Since we are leaving our kids at home I would like them to have a way to reach us in an emergency. I will be taking my cell but it will be off most of the time, and I will check email but in a true emergency I'd like them to be able to reach us. Thanks!

DeckSwabber Posted September 30, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2011 From the Carnival Website: How can my family contact me while onboard? Shore-to-Ship Communication Friends and family may call guests on board via Sea Mobile Shore-to-Ship telephone service. The rate is $9.50 per minute from the United States; additional long distance charges may apply from outside the United States. 1-877-CCLSHIP (1-877-225-7447) – from the U.S 1-732-335-3284 - from outside the U.S The caller needs to have available the ship name and the guest's name. The charges will be applied to the caller's credit card: MasterCard; Visa; American Express; The Discover Card; Diner's Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimmieTN Posted September 30, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I had to contact my parents for an emergency a couple of years ago when they were cruising. I left two messages with the ship and they were never delivered to them. I actually had to leave messages on their cell phones and when they were in port, they checked the messages. You might want to tell your kids this also, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russianmom Posted September 30, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Just make sure you let them know it is for EMERGENCY ONLY and not to say I miss you mommy or Tommy hit me, LOLJust saying .... At $9.50 a minute :eek: Years ago I was on a cruise with my family. It was my sister's birthday and her boyfriend decided to call our cabin to wish her a happy birthday.... Needless to say, the phone bill was more than the cost of the cruise!!!! Lesson learned the hard way for him!!! So, yes, only for a true emergency....

KimmieTN Posted September 30, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I don't remember what the fee was for leaving a message with the ship, but even that was about 20 to 25 dollars and I never even spoke to them, just left a message to call home.

You will have no idea that a message is there so unless you plan on checking it 2 times a day it could be there for 12 hours. In the event of an actual real emergency. Like kid in the ER they can contact carnival in Florida to get a message to the ship. You can then call, email, etc. If they call and try to speak to you it could be very pricey because they will be on hold while the ship tries to locate you which could take some time.
