hopelea Posted April 2, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2006 On our cruise documents, I noticed a ship email address for me. Why is that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiefromvancouver Posted April 2, 2006 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2006 If you don't have an e-mail address that you can access while travelling (hotmail, yahoo, webmail, etc.) you can have e-mail sent to/from this NCL address. I'm pretty sure it costs $$ to activate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted April 2, 2006 #3 Share Posted April 2, 2006 If you don't currently have an internet-based mail service (hotmail, yahoo, etc.), I would recommend opening an account now. You do not want to pay the exorbitant fee for using the ship's assigned email address. Here's the fee, as posted on NCL's web site: Personalized Cruise-mail™ - $3.95 per e-mail transmission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopelea Posted April 2, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Okay, thanks. I don't see that I will need it. The past two cruises we stayed away from the internet. I would rather spend the money on excursions & shopping. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennylane Posted April 3, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2006 i cant remember the price i saw but it was pretty high. i did however give that email address to relatives as an emergency contact. if someone emails me at that address, the ship prints it and delivers it to the cabin relatively quickly. i only plan to check my own email once a day, so if its something that someone at home feels i need to know right away, i suggested they send to both. (my teenage daughter is going to be with her dad, and my two puppies are also going to be with them.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted April 3, 2006 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2006 so if its something that someone at home feels i need to know right away, i suggested they send to both. (my teenage daughter is going to be with her dad, and my two puppies are also going to be with them.) I give my family/friends a slightly different rule: If I need to know AND it's a situation I can do something about. If I can't do anything about it I don't want to know & have my vacation ruined ;) -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopelea Posted April 3, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I will have my cell phone with me. All of my family has that. I know that we won't get great service most places. But, it can be checked from time to time. I agree.........if it something that I can do something about, than let me know, if not.....i'll deal with it when we get home :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
