We turned ours off on the ship...there wasn't anything so important that we needed to have phone service. We did turn our phones on when we were in port and they worked fine with no extra charges. I also didn't bother to get wifi on the ship. We just waited until we were in port and I took my laptop to McDonald's to check my email. At one stop there's a big public library right by the dock and they have wifi access, but I don't remember which city that was.#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-19287111775493346482013-03-07T08:27:17.751-08:002013-03-07T08:27:17.751-08:00Love the illustration ...and the poem.

Very exciting!<br /><br />Yes, careful with those cell phone charges. Just last week in our news there was a story about a family who had vacationed in Mexico recently. Their young son inadvertently racked up over $22,000 in charges--and yes, they had put the phone into airplane mode, but the child switched it off somehow, by mistake.
