2boyzmom Posted February 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I thought I had heard rates dramatically decreased. Has anyone experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdvmd Posted March 1, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yes, $1.99 minute using the phone in your cabin. Works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdmike Posted March 2, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 2, 2013 remember, they generally round up. So if you use 61 seconds you'll likely get hit with 2 minutes worth of charges (at least they did that on Carnival) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you use 61 seconds you'll likely get hit with 2 minutes worth of charges (at least they did that on Carnival) This is our experience as well. I set the timer on my cell phone to watch how long I am talking. It is a great thing that the price has gone down so much. Some lines charged $16 a minute a few years ago. That is beyond ridiculous.
