Cell phones on cruises?

Question

i previously posted a question about cell phone service. if your phone says "cellular of the seas" while out at sea will you maintain signal your whole voyage?

Answer 1

the reason to cruise is so you do not have to answer the phone.

Answer 2

never heard of it;; we had sprint, and got to mexico

and had no service.. have fun on your cruise

Answer 3

acutally no.  not everywhere.  my last cruise I didn't have a single signal.  It all depends on how clear the skys are or where the ship is headed, most signals are strong when headed eastward.  But once your stationary (docked at a port), you'll get 'ok' reception.

Answer 4

I just tried to search the web for "cellular of the seas" and got this:  We did not find results for: "cellular of the seas

Is this something specific to your service carrier?  Which ship are you on?

I would seriously doubt if you would be able to get a signal the whole time.  Of course, it depends on where you're sailing.  Satellites have a limited range.
