Stay in touch on cruises

by Sherry on August 21st, 2008

Cellular at Sea is what you need to know about if you’re planning on taking a cruise. The wireless maritime service offers cell phone reception for many cruise ships, no matter where you may be - even if you’re smack dab in the middle of the ocean where you wouldn’t expect to find service.

Ideally, when you’re on a cruise ship, you’re going to be relaxing and enjoying your time away from everything and everyone. However, I can think of times when you would want to be in touch. Being a mother, I would definitely feel better and enjoy myself more if I knew that I could be reached if something happened back home and one of my kids was sick or hurt. I could check in at every port, but I like knowing that I am reachable in the case of an emergency.

What do you think of getting cell reception on a ship? Is it good for emergencies (or even non-emergencies like calling home to say good night to your little ones)? Or will it end up being abused by workaholics who can’t stop calling the office and loudly discussing business strategies while you’re trying to soak up some Vitamin D?
