Cell phones for rent on Miracle?

[Kaki321]

Hi! I read a post/review the other day where you can rent a cell phone on Carnival Miracle - - regardless of whether or not it's for Camp Carnival.

 

I was going to bring walkie talkies, but they provide patchy and iffy communication at best (tried them on the Triumph and wasn't pleased with them)

 

The cell phone rental sounds like a much better idea! I will want to keep up with my 16 year old niece.

 

Anyone have info or experience?

 

thanks!

I was on the Miracle last summer and I don't recall cell phone rentals. Most cell phones did not get a network connection in the Caribbean anyway. They may have been referring to walkie-talkies for rent??

Could it really be that no one is aware of this? :confused:

 

Guess I have to call Carnival yet again, lol

 

Somehow I trust you guys more
