Are there phones, faxes and Internet connections available onboard? |

|
| Most ships offer a variety of communication options so you can stay in touch with those back home. You are provided with the ship's emergency numbers so you can give them to your family or friends prior to departure. It is usually quite expensive to call to or from the ship using satellitte services. Cell phones can be used on some ships, but it is best to check in advance. Most ships have Internet cafes or business centers onboard so you can send and receive e-mails at a relatively low cost. Many ships now offer wireless connecttions from the staterooms. It is best to check your cruise documents for the specifics pertaining to your cruise. |

Can I use my cell phone? |
| |
|
|
| Your cell phone usually works when the ship is close to a port. They can also work on many newer ships while farther out at sea, but a cruise package should be purchased from the cellular telephone provider to lower the per minute charges. We suggest contacting your provider prior to your cruise to get their rates and information on the programs they offer. |
