Check with your carrier and see if you may sign up for international calling for the time that you are on the cruise and then call home when you are inport.

cruiserking Posted July 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The crew always know where to go at each port for inexpensive wifi and calling cards. You can probably buy an calling card at a kiosk and phone home fairly cheaply this way. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good advice. As example, if you have AT&T, the following link will provide information on their plans. I believe Verizon has something similar. http://www.att.com/att/global/affordable-world-packages/?cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
