JAMESCC Posted April 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I was on Getaway last year at this time but I cannot remember the cost to use the texting feature on the ship. ThanksIf I'm not mistaken it's 7 dollars per phone. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljrfrm Posted April 7, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2018 We just got off the Getaway last Sunday - it cost us $14.99 per phone for the texting feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazykohns Posted April 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Side question- do you need to purchase WiFi minutes to use the app on board? I know I could do the cell plan but looking to save $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - you can connect to NCL wifi for the app without buying wifi. You will only be allowed to you the app though. We also wanted to save money (and unplug) so didn't purchase wifi.

spanishguy1970 Posted April 7, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I have heard is 7.99 to use the feature. I for one don't use it, i get on board, shut off my phone, put away in then safety deposit box and unwind. Only device i use is my reading device better known as Kindle. :D...Good luck and have fun.

Rare BirdTravels Posted April 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Side question- do you need to purchase WiFi minutes to use the app on board? I know I could do the cell plan but looking to save $$$. Be careful. Most/all carriers do not offer a cell plan for NCL ships. For example AT&T charges $2.50 per minute for calls, $0.50 per text message, $1.30 for picture/video message, and $819/GB of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorchinsky Posted April 7, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Just off the Getaway a week ago. Cost was $14.99 per device but the texting feature was very unreliable. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve cruised with NCL before and Verizon has a great plan when you do want to switch on. We typically turn data off while on the ship and if needed use the Verizon plan when in port. I try not to check work emails and calls on my week away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacation44 Posted April 7, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 7, 2018 We just got off the Getaway last Sunday - it cost us $14.99 per phone for the texting feature. Is this the same one that cost $7.99 two years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
