prince34 Posted January 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi, Will there be service available for cell phones on the Splendor during our cruise? Thanks prince34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted January 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yes, but it is going to be EXPENSIVE. So much so, Carnival will not even say exactly. Here's the link to the Carnival web page about it: https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1129/~/cellular-phone-service Even if you have a great cell plan at home, it is likely a domestic plan, and the ship is treated as another country. So as far as billing you, anything goes (ouch!):eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted January 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Cellular at Sea (the shipboard provider) charges $2.49/minute. Calling from your cabin phone is $1.99/minute. Some pax have been able to call thru FaceTime using the Hub chat feature. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie562 Posted January 22, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 22, 2018 If you have AT&T or TMobile majority of their plans allow you to use your plan in Mexico as you would in the USA. This is on land only at sea it’s a different story as you use the Cellular at Sea which is not part of your plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coevan Posted January 25, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Some pax have been able to call thru FaceTime using the Hub chat feature. This is completely not true., actually impossible. OP are you talking about at sea or in port in Mexico. As someone said, most U.S. cell service have very inexpensive options for land based calling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted January 25, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Verizon has a feature called "Travel Pass" that allows you to use your domestic minutes and data in Mexico for a $5 per day connection fee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prince34 Posted January 26, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Called the AT&T and they don't have a phone package with carnival but was told by a representative that we use Wi-Fi calling with airplane mode on. Gonna give that a try. Thank you all for your input, enjoy your cruising!!!!! Prince 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
