Cruise tips, staying in touch on board

Keeping in touch has always been somewhat of a problem on cruise liners, but now you P&O offers a new level of connectivity and flexibility – allowing cruise passengers to use their mobile phone to chat to family and friends back home, even when they are miles out at sea enjoying an extraordinary P&O Cruises holiday.

They can even send pictures or media clips of their holiday as they lounge by the pool! P&O’s Mobiles@sea service is available on all ships except the Artemis and is actually a network activated only when the ship is at sea.

When the service becomes available for use mobile phones that are compatible will show either MCP or 901 12 in the display screen and it cost can be as low as £1.4* per minute for calls and texts for just 50 pence.

*Note: International Maritime Rates can vary from provider to provider To use this service, you must have International Call activated on your Phone.
