I also asked this... Was told there is a ships number but it's like $10 a minute. But in a emergency do you really care?! Should be in your docs I would think or maybe contact your cruiseline.

In my documents from the travel agency there's a number they can call, but it's $7.95 a minute. I'm not activating my cell for use on my cruise, but we're taking a laptop (and we're going to see if we can get Skype to work) and plan on checking my email once a day. I worry that something will happen to my boys while I'm gone, but the day before we leave, I'm having 3 letters notarized allowing both of my parents and my fiance to have medical say over my children while I'm away if something happens to them. I've already contacted the insurance company, the pediatrician as well as my oldest's teacher, main office and school nurse telling them I'll be out of the country and unreachable, and they all said with the letter that my parents and fiance should be fine in case of emergency. I trust them to make the best decisions for my kids.

My friend and I leave for our first cruise on Saturday...I'm so glad I found this thread!
