Sailing soon on Radiance of the Seas Honolulu to Sydney. What are the internet connections for Email and phone contact when the ship is sailing for 5 days between stops in the Pacific? Any idea on costs as need info for family emergency situation before I might have to cancel. Assume weather causes some restrictions. Thanks.

Not sure I understand the question, but here's the contact info in case someone needs to contact you on the ship:

 

Your friends and family can contact the ship by dialing

(888) 724-SHIP (7447). They can call (732) 335-3285

for access from outside the U.S. The cost is $7.95 per

minute and can be charged to their American Express,

MasterCard or Discover. (From outside the U.S., additional

long distance charges will apply.)

Thanks for phone information. I assume we will have internet access through whatever Radiance of the Seas has on board as an "internet set-up" for passengers. On other cruise lines, we were given a personal internet address for $100 which allowed us to access our home server 24/7 through the satellite. My question concerns availability and reliability in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and not just in a port. Thanks again.
