Person to Person Communication on the Grand

[HALCruiserChris]

It's been a while since we cruised (2012). The biggest challenge was on-board.person-to-person communication when away from your room. Have they got that ironed out? Do cell phones work (Mexican Riviera)? Do they rent walkie-talkies or pagers? What's the story today? We sail in January.

As for "getting that ironed out" way back in the ancient times of 2012 people still did fine with post-it notes and leaving messages on the cabin phone. Plus that quaint old notion of actually talking face to face when making plans--and honoring them rather than using an electronic device for the purpose of changing or cancelling them on the fly.

 

So for God's sake leave the walkies talkies at home.

They do work great in the DR and theater.

Piece of mind.

Thanks for the advice. I'll consider myself admonished.

A problem with the Princess@sea connection is that it give no alert when a message is received.
