Mobile Phone Service at Sea

Sometime soon you might find yourself able to use your cell phone while at sea, thanks to Carnival Cruise Lines equipping their 21 ships with mobile phone service. They currently have only done this on one of their 21 ships, the Triumph, but they have plans to roll it out on the rest of their ships at sea by the end of the year.

As part of a deal with Wireless Maritime Services, Carnival can use its high-bandwidth technology to give passengers mobile phone service at sea. International roaming fees apply. W.M.S. has deals with eight cruise lines, including Norwegian Cruise Line, and covers 32 ships. Royal Caribbean International also plans to equip all 20 ships with the service by the end of the year.
