the_scarecrow_in_oz Posted November 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I'm wondering if NCL ships still offer the on-board package that allows you to use your cellphone to contact other passenger's cellphones. You supposedly access the package through the NCL app once onboard the ship and pay $10 per device to use the package for the entire trip. If they still offer it, has the price increased?

the_scarecrow_in_oz Posted November 22, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Is it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted November 23, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 23, 2022 The price is about the same. Never used to work well. Maybe things have improved over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlstravel Posted November 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 23, 2022 My husband and I used it on the prima last month and it worked very well. It was less than $10 so it was well worth the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyZolt Posted November 23, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 23, 2022 On the Bliss, it was about $10 per person -- not per day, just for the whole cruise. We were able to send messages to our friends via the app because they had purchased it, too. The problem is that you have to be looking at your phone to see that you have a message. Sometimes, it rang if they called, but it was sketchy as we were at sea and all. LOL! But it doesn't make a sound or anything if they send a text. In interesting information, my husband and I both have iPhones and I'm sure it's a loophole that will get plugged at some point, but during our cruise in September, I was able to send him iMessages, and also send iMessages to others who weren't on the cruise at all as iMessage worked the same as it does everywhere else, including sound to notify him he got a message and my phone told me when it was read. YMMV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_scarecrow_in_oz Posted November 24, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Thanks. I wasn't sure if the price had risen, or what the quality was that I could expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
