Norwegian Getaway Internet and Phone calls?

[gpgirl]

Hi,

 

We are going on our first cruise ever on the Getaway in a few weeks. I purchased an international plan through my cell phone carrier (Verizon) so I am not charged $1.99/minute for calls and texts while in the Caribbean.

 

Will we be charged anything else? We may use internet on our phones maybe once or twice while cruising but will only call home to check on things and maybe text.

 

Help!?!

On board all internet is pay only. They don't have any free internet.

We have T-Mobile and their rates are .20 per minute for calls to the US from St. Marteen. Data and text is free from there. St. Thomas is US territory and all calls/data/text are free. Bahamas, just keep your phone off. It's too much to even consider. As for being at sea all day, look into purchasing a small internet usage and don't worry about the phone. Verizon should be the same or have similar rates as T-Mobile. Hope this helps your decision!
