Wennfred Posted August 1, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Last night I was working with this guy and he was calling a few airlines to get a quote for his vacation trip in Sept. I asked him if he had some type of phone book in that Cell, he said no that he thought it would be a good idea to just plug in all of the airline phone numbers just incase. That seem to be like a great idea. I remember when AA lost my luggage I had to find AA number in the Hotel Phone book. So check out the link below, it has most of all of the Airline Phone numbers. Find the ones you would use and plug them into your Cell Phone. Also, you might want to plug in the major Car Rentals and Hotels too just to have easy access. Most Cell phones hold over 250 phone numbers.

Wennfred Posted August 1, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Might as well plug in all of those Carnival Emergency, Flight Deviation numbers that you see in the Docs. Carnival's Guest Relations number: 305-599-2600 Add to the list. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted August 1, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I keep several airlines, hotel chains, and cruise lines programmed into my cell phone. I don't know if Carnival has a day of travel number (I know RCCL does), but you should make sure that is in your cell phone as well. I learned that years ago due to delayed flights, cancelled flights, etc. It came in real handy last time I got stuck at DFW due to thunderstorms. While everyone else was worried and scrambling, we had guaranteed seats on a flight the next morning and a nice hotel. Everyone else was stuck trying for standby seats, then ended up at a no-name hotel that they had to pay for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please fax DD214, Attn: Interline Dept., fax # 305-406-6661 Please reference your name/ship/sailing date/booking number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaT12 Posted August 1, 2008 #7 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Great idea. I am now thinking of a bunch of numbers I should put in there when I am gone...dog kennel, before and after hotels, cruise insurance #...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonnys Posted August 1, 2008 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I have one in my phone listed as "In case of emergency" that I change depending on who I am traveling with. For everyday I list my husband but for our (DH, DD, DS and I) upcoming cruise I will change it to my mothers name and number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldone60 Posted August 1, 2008 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2008 When we travel, land or cruise , I always plug in any #'s that we might need, hotel, airlines, etc. Then when we are back, I just delete them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRHMadonna Posted August 1, 2008 #10 Share Posted August 1, 2008 ICE = In Case of Emergency I understand this program was developed by paramedics after the terrorist bombings in the London Underground a few summers ago. This is how it works. Emergency room personnel & paramedics will turn to a victim's cell phone for clues to that person's identity, next of kin, etc. You can make their job much easier with a simple idea that they are trying to get everyone to adopt: ICE. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. If you add an entry in the contacts list in your cell phone under ICE, with the name and phone no. of the person that the emergency services should call on your behalf, you can save them a lot of time and have your loved ones contacted quickly. Paramedics know what ICE means and they look for it immediately. I have added ICE spouse, ICE son, ICE sister and even ICE neighbor...Only takes a few minutes.

nolaAlive Posted August 17, 2008 #16 Share Posted August 17, 2008 If your cell phone is international (or maybe not) Foreign access codes to call back to the US. The numbers for the local Carnival port agents - in case you miss or are about to miss the boat. If having a bad day - Dial a Prayer. Next_Of_Kin if having a really bad day.

samiam0403 Posted August 17, 2008 #19 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thanks Fred - great idea. I started doing this when I started my last job and was travelling 3-4 days a week. I specifically recall one time it came in very handy - my flight got diverted to a tiny airport due to weather, and everyone was scrambling to get in line and re-book flights. I strolled over to the line as I dialed AA on my cell. Figured whichever got me done first...Needless to say, the customer service deck hadn't even gotten around to re-booking one person out of a hundred or so by the time I got done re-booking on the phone. I got on the next available flight that way - can't even imagine what some of the other folks got. Of course I was quickly swarmed with fellow passengers begging for the number...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wennfred Posted April 8, 2009 Author #20 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Also add your Credit Card Phone numbers into your Cell because you never know when you need to call them to shut the cards down incase they are lost in Mexico etc. Those Customer numbers are listed on the back of each credit card.

FlaKrznNubie Posted April 9, 2009 #21 Share Posted April 9, 2009 You are all just trying to "one up" each other with this... :cool: Or you could just buy a smart phone or iPhone....Does all these numbers automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ship Addict Posted April 9, 2009 #22 Share Posted April 9, 2009 If you plan to phone home from Mexico or another foreign port, you may want to preprogram your phone with the extra #s you have to dial before your own number. This should save you having to carry around another piece of paper with instructions -- that you know will get wet and nasty before you have a chance to use!

travelntreats Posted April 9, 2009 #23 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Y'all are obsessive with all these #'s stored in the phone..... what did you do 20 years ago when an emergency occured or you had to call a hotel, cruiseline, airline, etc......
