    You don't need to call your provider to do it, but you do need to set it up on land before you board.  I actually have a very weak cell signal at my house, so I use Wi-Fi calling regularly at home. Once you set it up, your phone automatically uses the stronger/best option for routing the call.

    The method varies a little based on the type of phone you have, so I would just do a simple Google search to get the instructions.  Just search for the following:  wifi calling <cell provider> <type of phone>

    Examples:
    wifi calling at&t android
    wifi calling verizon iphone

    Go ahead and set it up now and try it out -- you can turn on airplane mode at home, then turn on your wifi, and then just make a regular phone call or send a text via wifi.  (Make sure to turn off airplane mode before leaving home, or you won't have any network connection!)

    You can turn wifi calling on and off if you want, but I've never found a need -- I just set it up and leave it turned on all the time, and my phone decides which signal is going to give me the better call signal.


     

    Thank you so much for all your detailed help. It is good to know that there is so helpful people

    You would need to enable Wi-Fi calling at home first -- you have to be connected to your mobile provider to get it set up initially.  

    After setting up Wi-Fi calling on your phone, when on the ship you want to turn on Airplane Mode (which disconnects your phone from looking for a cellular signal -- important to do that to prevent your phone from connecting to the ship's EXPENSIVE cellular signal) and then turn on Wi-Fi on your phone and connect to Voom.  Then you can send/receive texts and make/receive phone calls just like normal.

     

    Do i have to call my cell phone provider before the cruise to set this up? Also can i make phone calls

    with just Voom surf? You have been very helpful thank you

    No, you usually can only buy the drink package during the first few days of a sailing and must purchase it for all remaining days.

     

    You can purchase the internet package on any day for the remainder of your sailing at the onboard prices. And there is a 24-consecutive-hour package you can purchase also, at higher prices of course.

    Crew sweeper is correct.

    Many who just want some beach time will take a quick taxi to Lindbergh Bay (aka Emerald Beach) and enjoy the facilities at the Emerald Beach Resort. Some prefer to walk and if you want some beach time it is an option...

     

     

    Tickles Dockside Pub is a great spot for a cold drink and snacks near the ship...

    Thank you for the information

    Walk over and spend the afternoon at Palm Court Gardens. $11 chair rental one of the best tickets on St. Kitts 14-15 minute easy walk from Port Zante. I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed. Best views great infinity pool and awesome service, very pretty people global clientele. You'll fit right in 😉 

    Have fun 😎

    Thank you very much I will look into it

    Out side of the shopping at the port, you won't find much in walking distance. No major attractions.  2 miles + to Charlotte Amalie and not very scenic.   You need a taxi to get anywhere.

    Thank you so much!

  8. I  am having trouble posting so I will try again

     

     sailed with Royal before I am an past guest.  I am over 55 years old, The November cruise is the same cruise that was booked  for July,which discounted for resident . Royal gave me no discount for anything. When I asked my TA about this, here is the answer  no discounts -other then the 30% off.  I am going to post this in my roll call to see if other people got discounts for the cruise
    Thank you
