cb at sea Posted February 3, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2016 They don't mind a reasonable amount of soda...bring cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use your phone on airplane mode and use the ship's wifi. That will cost too, but it is much more reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted February 3, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 3, 2016 You may get intermittent AT&T service in Alaskan waters - we did, but it was spotty. Wait until you get into ports, if you can - sometimes you can get free wifi with a coffee purchase or something. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted February 3, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2016 You can bring as much soda on as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the ship is at sea, AT&T charges $2.49 per minute for voice calls and $0.50 per text sent. Cellular data would be slow and very expensive, so I would be sure to turn that off.

Rare Essiesmom Posted February 3, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Alaska is not international. It's part of the US. So if you have AT&T service/signal, it will not be international roaming. However, if you are leaving from Vancouver, that would be Canada, so international roaming there. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted February 3, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Bring soda by all means. Turn your phone off and lock it in the safe. (Costs way too much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted February 3, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Upon unpacking I simply turn my phone off and toss it in my laptop bag. It doesn't come back out/turned on until I'm off the ship on the last morning. Edited February 3, 2016 by Treven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 3, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Your best bet is to use the service while in Alaska ports where there will be no roaming costs. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
