How do you contact someone on a cruise ship?

[TeresaNJ]

If there were an emergency of some sort at home, how would one be able to make contact with the person on the cruise? Do cell phones work?

There is a ship phone number..they will give it to you when your friends/family board. Otherwise..best way is to have your friends/family check their email for notes from back home.

The phone number is also listed in the brochure that comes with the DCL tickets.

In an emergency it obviously doesn't matter what the cost....but just so you know....to call ship to shore or vice versa cost bout $6.75 per minute.

I have a question about this. We're sailing next week, on the 3 day cruise. I've given my sister the number to call in case of an emergency (my mom is sick). What happens if she does have to call me? Do they route the call to the phone in the cabin (not sure if there IS a phone in the cabin?) and if you're not there, is there a voice mail system like the ones in hotel rooms?

If you want to make an outgoing call, where on the ship do you go to do that?

Yes, there are telephones in each stateroom. They also have answering machines within them. When you enter your cabin, if the are flashing there is a message, it will then prompt you which buttons to hit. There are also explecit instructions if you need to place an outgoing call. Hopefully the need does not arise.

Thanks for the info!

Just in case, Cell phones will only work if your server carries in the caribbeans, msot US or Europe servers dont, but in a chance you do get reception, rember roaming charges too ($$$$$$$$)
