Question

Do cellphones work on cruises?

Answer 1

I just got back from a cruise (Carnival from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas). I made some cell calls back to the U.S. using Verizon, and the roaming charges were $2.50/min. By the way, the satellite phone service from the stateroom was $7/min, so using the cell was a bargain in comparison. Also, internet access was something like $1/min.

Answer 2

Yes cell phones do work on Cruise ships.  I was just on a cruise and I have Verizon.  The only thing is it is WICKED EXPENSIVE to use your cell phone on a cruise ship, because of roaming charges.  Cell phones usually don't work while your in port, but when you are at sea they work.

Answer 3

Yes the only time they will work is when  you are close to a port .The cost   will be about $1.00 a min..Some times you have to dial a special number to get a call out.The cruise line will let you know the number
