Celebrity Eclipse Cruises Answers

To add to the excellent advice you've been given ............... bear in mind that if you phone someone else on the ship, you'll be paying over-the-top for both making the call on ship's system & for it being received on ship's system. Keep it switched off while aboard, or unwanted texts (Bristol City results, car insurance reminders, etc etc) will cost you dear. Ships' internets tend to be very slow, which multiplies the cost, so get on the internet when you have a shore signal, or cheaper still, use cheap internet cafes ashore. ................ when ashore, at each port you will get a (free) text welcoming you to your phone company's partner, this will tell you the prices. ................. finally, if you've not used the phone abroad, make sure it is not locked out of being used abroad (security feature). Your airtime supplier will unlock free-of-charge but it needs to be done before you go. .......... Chris

If you use your mobile phone whilst you are at sea, you will not pay European or American rates, you will pay EXORBITANT rates!!! We are also on the Eclipse on 28th September; do you by any chance play bridge?

If you use your phone onboard you will pay the cruise lines rate which varies from very expensive to astronomical. Not only due you pay for outgoing calls but incoming as well, so tell friends and family not to call unless necessary. Don't even think about the internet on your phone, just turn off the Roaming or you could be in for a big shock when you get home. Use your phone when you are in port and off the ship...........Wilba
