Sidekick internet use on a cruise?

Question

I'm going on a carnival cruise in 10 days. I have a sidekick id which has the internet, aim and whatnot. If i use the internet and aim on my phone, will i get charged more for it?

Answer 1

You have to check with your cell phone provider. You will be charged by them not the cruise line. If you can though cell phone internet would be a lot cheaper since every cruise I have been on the internet had cost at least $.50 a min.

Answer 2

Jessica, I strongly suggest to you  that you leave your laptop at home. The internet charges are extremely expensive on cruise ships. You could very easily spend $500 on a 10-day cruise. Phone charges are very expensive, also. There is lots to do and see. You will not miss your internet. I don't.

(I am not familar with the sidekick ID, but if it has ANYTHING to go through the ship, it will be very expensive. The only way around this is if you have a satelite connection.)
