Ken Posted August 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2016 My wife, son, and I have not cruised for a few years, but we will be onboard the Oasis later this year. I am wondering how people keep in touch nowadays with each other while on the ship. My adult son uses a wheelchair and, although he is pretty independent, he will need to be able to reach my wife or me, just in case. Are we still talking walkie-talkies or is there a newer technology? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisneyKidsDad Posted August 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I don't know about the Oasis but Disney provides what they call Wave Phones. They are dedicated cell phones that work on the ships. They provide 2 per cabin. You might want to inquire whether the Oasis has something like them.

Schoifmom Posted August 11, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm not sure about the Oasis, but walkies really don't work well on the ships. On Carnival, we purchase the "social media" internet plan and them DH and I can iMessage or Facebook message each other on our phones (in airplane mode so we aren't using our cell).

Quampapetet Posted August 27, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Check to see if your cruise line has an app that allows passengers to communicate with each other onboard. I know I saw at least one, but I don't recall which line it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
