Phone calling from cruise

[lionheart]

Does anyone know how much it is to call from your room to the states. For example, I'm in the North Sea and want to call New Jersey and say hi to the kids...

 

Thanks...

It's about $9 per minute. Very expensive.

It's about $8/minute. Your best bet is buy a calling card and call from shore.

 

We used their phone on our last cruise when our itinerary changed and had to call a charter company we rented a sail boat from. My 8 minute call was somewhere between $56 and $64.

 

E-mail is 75 cents per minute.

Do the calling card thing.....buy one over there. I bought one in Australia for $10AU and had about 500 minutes to the US. Or you can go to a phone center, and it runs aoubt 25 cents a minute. Look and see where the crew makes their calls, and it will always be the cheapest deal. Don't call from the ship. Too expensive.
