You do not need a package to text or call, you just text like you do at home, as long as you have a signal, do not use apps which requires data. We have Verizon and just pay the .50 & .05 for texting plus we make a couple of calls. In a 7 day cruise our bill has 15 to 25$ in extra charges. Calls in port are much cheaper than on the ship. You can send and receive a lot of text for 20$. Make sure your phone has international calling, put on by Verizon, no charge

 

Turn data roaming off.

Very helpful. thank you !!

Cellular at sea is not the standard network and does not offer free WiFi/data, now free WiFi in port is another thing

Ok so if I want to send 5 texts a day to my husband at home, who also has an iphone , what would be the better way to go? With Verizon I would pay .50 to send a text and .05 to receive a text I think. I only want to text no calls.

If I purchase an internet package can I text using that then?

Thanks!

Sorry I'm confused also. I though iMessage was via wifi (free)between iphones and SMS text used data(cost)?

is this not correct?

thanks!

Hello, we are a party of 3, 1ad,16yo,8yo.

Would you book aft cabin 7408 for that huge balcony or 6650 for the sofabed?

I really would prefer a sofabed vs a pullman bed.I really dont like the pullman being above the others in cabin 7408 but is the balcony worth it?

Need some input fast to make a decision for 3/22 sailing. THANKS!!

I collect the same. Ships and sand:

Victory 8433 aft wrap around balcony. I have plenty more in my album.
