The Maddens

Thanks to Everyone! This is great info! We just went thru the steps to enable Wi-Fi calling, tested it, and tested sending a Text as well. between this and (if we have to) the Cell tower, we should be good. Thanks!

I have heard that SOME ships have a cell phone service which is available on the ship, basically a cell phone tower on the ship. This is turned off when the ship gets close to land. At that point you can use the land-based cellular service. Does anyone know whether Explorer has this? I don't see it anywhere, and I'd think this would be a selling point, so I'm guessing they don't have it....I see the Voom internet, but we're worried about Incoming calls from my Wife's fathers Hospital (she's his medical decisionmaker), not outgoing calls.

I saw this question asked on the Forums, but it was back in 2018 ()https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2524404-mystery-dinner-worth-it/ ), and since we have a cruise at the end of August on the Explorer of the Seas, I wanted to see if folks think it is worth it. I know that cruises have just recently started back up in full swing, but we were really interested in this, and wanted to see your opinions. Not sure of the price, as I cant get Royal to tell us the price, or when we can reserve it, but the description at https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-activities/mystery-dinner-theater says "Limited capacity" and if they dont open it up for registrations prior to boarding....then when they spring it on us once Onboard......We'll need to make a quick decision before they sell out! So.....What say Ye?
