legalcruiser Posted April 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Are there portable phones in the Haven cabins? Does anyone remember how big it is? Not sure that I want to lug it around but like the idea for splash academy emergencies. Trying to figure out whether it will fit in my purse. Thanks!

Talex831 Posted April 14, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Disney had them, but I don't know about other lines. They are a type of cell phone that allow you to call other people on the ship. They only work onboard. Each cabin gets 2 of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalcruiser Posted April 14, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Yes, sorry! Disney is Wave. Changed title so I don't continue to confuse folks. I heard the Haven suites have a portable phone too? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums The Haven phones are about the size of a cordless phone in your home. My husband carries it around in his pocket.

Rare mking8288 Posted April 14, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 14, 2017 It's about the size of an old style Nokia "candy-bar" phone, very similiar or same as those carried by NCL ship's officers. It's on the lower right corner of this (Getaway Haven suite) picture taken by one of our nieces 2 years ago, sitting on its charger base (zoom in on a desktop browser for a closeup) https://www.dropbox.com/s/7zuktrsqb5ndszo/GA-Haven-Suite-May2015.jpg?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a type of cell phone that allow you to call other people on the ship. They only work onboard. Each cabin gets 2 of them. it is not really a cell phone, just a standard wireless/cordless phone. the ships uses a voice over IP (voip) phone system.

don't-use-real-name Posted April 14, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Yes it is the same phone that the ships staff carries around butler concierge etc. You can take it anywhere around the ship and even off the ship in the vicinity of the port. If someone calls your cabin you can answer the call remotely. You can call your cabin occupants to meet somewhere for dinner etc. Reception is fine maybe not so good in an elevator - nice perk for suite guests. Used my perk quite often the NCL DAWN western Caribbean and New England cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted April 14, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 14, 2017 It can be used to call the butler, concierge, other staterooms, guest services....basically, anywhere the corded stateroom phone can call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfamilycruise Posted April 14, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Can you use it to call someone who has the iconcierge app? We saw the phones in our cabin last year, but didn't use it. I was thinking I could this year -- I have two sons who will have the iconcierge app and I just want to make sure I could reach them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeesaB Posted April 14, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Wait - is this available in ALL the suites? As in - I'll be in a non-haven suite on the Pearl - does this handy dandy phone come with this room too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeesaB Posted April 14, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'll be in the 2br family suite. If those rooms have the phone as well, that will be AWESOME for communicating with our boys.

TYSONBOXER Posted April 14, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 14, 2017 The phone is great for keeping in touch. You can call any room and the kids can use the phones that are all over the ship to call you. They just call the room and your portable phone will ring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Forums mobile app We've been in the 2 bedroom suite twice. The phone is fantastic for Splash Academy to stay in touch. When they ask where you will be, just tell them you will have the Handy Phone. No further information needed. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
