I am going on a cruise for the first time in April. It is called the Caribbean Princess Cruise?

I HATE ALL PHONES, BUT MOST SHIPS HAVE INTERNET SPACES ON BOARD... YOU MIGHT TRY THAT... CRUISING IS THE BEST TIME EVER, GO EVERY YEAR... ALTHOUGH I'M MUCH OLDER THAN YOU, I CAN STILL SAY YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME... REMEMBER TO WALK A LOT IN PORT, IT WILL HELP YOU KEEP THE WEIGH OFF.....

I love cruising. I havent been on that particular cruise but I imagine it will be a lot of fun. About the phones I went on a cruise in Sept. I was in America for part of it than out of states for part of it. When you're in the US no roaming fees. When you are out of the US like at Sea the phone will work but it is very expenisve. You get charged like twice once by the ships sattelite cell phone carrier than by your carrier. So not really worth it to even have your phone on. I got charged for my phone just ringing.

Cruises are awesome. You can and I reccomend you bring your phone. You wont get service on the boat but some of the islands do. Just be aware or the rates. Don't be suprised if its over $1 a min.

You can use it while in ports but be ready for a HUGE phone bill. The ship can do a bill for satelite phone on the ship, that would be cheaper but its still pretty pricy. Other then that it is fun.
