Communication Onboard

[Ken]

My wife, son, and I have not cruised for a few years, but we will be onboard the Oasis later this year. I am wondering how people keep in touch nowadays with each other while on the ship. My adult son uses a wheelchair and, although he is pretty independent, he will need to be able to reach my wife or me, just in case. Are we still talking walkie-talkies or is there a newer technology? Thanks.

I don't know about the Oasis but Disney provides what they call Wave Phones. They are dedicated cell phones that work on the ships. They provide 2 per cabin. You might want to inquire whether the Oasis has something like them.

I'm not sure about the Oasis, but walkies really don't work well on the ships.

 

On Carnival, we purchase the "social media" internet plan and them DH and I can iMessage or Facebook message each other on our phones (in airplane mode so we aren't using our cell).

Check to see if your cruise line has an app that allows passengers to communicate with each other onboard. I know I saw at least one, but I don't recall which line it was.

Have a meeting every 3 hours at a specific spot and meet. Have a great cruise!
