How much is internet access on the Triumph? We'll be leaving our son (will be 17 months old at the time) at home with Grandma and I would like to stay in contact with her. Also - how much do phone calls from the ship cost? We'll be sailing Eastern Carib. so I think our Verizon Nationwide plan phones will work in the ports.

I think phone calls run about $7.50 per minute from the ship. Best to call from ports. Check to see if roaming charges will aplly on the cell phone. Internet is .75 per minute with specials offered -- like half price during a certain period of time. Purchase of a larger block of time can bring the cost down to about .50 per minute. Internet service is slow, somewhat faster than dial-up but much slower than cable or dsl. Hope this helps.

Thanks - that helps. We're used to Roadrunner internet at home so I am sure it will seem slow. We may need to purchase a block of minutes.

We'll be doing the same cruise in May. Just to let you know, You Can't use your cell phone at sea....so plan your calls for when your in port.

Timh11,

Hi! I'm new on this board also. We also do the eastern caribbean in May - the 20th! Is that your cruise too?

I'm hoping I can get service on my Blackberry down there and just use it for my email and calls.... but I'm not going to hold my breath on it!

I took the company cellp just for the hell of it on the Victory. The only connection I got was San Jaun. I have DSL and the ship was comparable, but you lose time with some of their ad bs when signing on. Which reminds me, ensure you have the ships PC geek there when you signon to get you started it will save you several minutes of reading instructions as the clock ticks.
