Emergency number question..........

[debiz1123]

My son is staying with his father while I'm gone on my first cruise in October. Is there a number I can leave with him in case of an emergency?

 

Thanks again!!

When you get your cruise documents there will be a list of numbers that can be used to call you on the ship. It's expensive--I think about $9 a minute--and the caller will need your ship and cabin number.

 

By October some of the Carnival ships may have the new cell phone accessible service which is less costly.

From the FAQ's on Carnival's site:

 

Can I receive phone calls onboard?Friends and family may call guests onboard via Maritime Telecommunications Network (MTN) Shore-to-Ship telephone service. The rate is $9.50 per minute from the United States; additional long distance charges may apply from outside the United States.

The caller needs to have available the ship name and the guest's name. The charges will be applied to the caller's credit card: MasterCard - Visa - American Express - The Discover Card - Diner's Club. 1-877 CCLSHIP (1-877-225-7447) from the U.S. 1-732-335-3284 from Canada and outside the U.S.
