We'll be on the ship the week before you - we're doing the Aruba route starting Sunday. We have Verizon and I'd like some info. about cell service as well. This is the first cruise we've taken without our son.

I'm not sure about Sprint. But, this is Verizon's policy...

For Verizon, you need to make sure you have international dialing activated on your phone. We had to have it activated and then program our phones by dialing *228. Just call Verizon and they will help you out, we only activated my phone and DH phone, not DS. Here is a link that should help you http://mobileoptions.vzw.com/international/roaming/rates/Mexico.html

After reading the couple of replies...I searched around to see what I could find...there is even a list of EVERY ship that offers cell service for 3 of the major national networks.

I have AT&T (Cingular) and I was able to use my phone as normal service on St Thomas, St. John and in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with no additional charges at all. Did not use my phone on the boat at sea, so can't help you there.

I Was Off Aos Last Sunday, We Carried Our Verizon Phone, It Didnt Work On The Cruise, Only In The Islands, And Only For Incoming Calls. Anyway Our Carrier Is In Puerto Rico, Not From The States, Maybe That Was The Issue.
