Default cell phone service?

We are sailing the Emerald Princess next week (8 more sleeps) woo hoo!
Anyway I was wondering about cellular/mobile phone service while in
the Ports. It would be convenient to send a quick text message to my
family rather than email. Thanks in advance!

You didn't say the ports or your cell supplier.

The only answer you need is what your cellular provider tells you
coverage and rates, which will be very high.

Have a fabulous cruise on the Emerald! Please tell us about it when
you get back.

Be very careful regarding cell phone service while
on cruise ships and in ports. Your bill might be
very exciting when you get it. Talk with your cell
service provider to 1) find out if your phone will
even work where you are going, and 2) what the
charges will be. They may be very reasonable while
in port but the ship's service may be very expen$ive.
Cheers,
John in LALALand (On the Left Coast)
