Texting on Explorer....any lag time?

[Mom.to.2]

For those who have texted specifically on the Explorer of the Seas....was there any lag time to send/receive texts between 2 iphones both on the ship?

 

I've called verizon and know the cost ($.50 to send and $.05 receive texts) now just want to know if texting is truly reliable. We're thinking to use this to keep in touch with our 11 year old while she's in Adventure Ocean.

Been on explorer close to 100 days and the issue is getting a signal, above deck or outside you r ok but fron your room it may be a challenge. No real lag time if you have a signal but just like at home if no signal no text.

 

Adventure ocean should have a good signal, if you skype anyone best places outside the theatre and Viking lounge
