AT&T has launched a new plan for its smartphone users exclusively for Royal Caribbean cruises where affordable data usage while at sea would be possible. Until now, cell phone use onboard cruise ships has been prohibit ably expensive due to roaming charges.
The new plans by AT&T are as follows
- AT&T Cruise Ship Calling: Includes 50 minutes for $30 per month
- AT&T Cruise Ship Calling and Messaging: Offers 50 minutes of talk and 100 text/picture/video messages sent for $60 per month
- AT&T Cruise Ship Calling, Messaging and Data: Includes 50 minutes, 100 messages sent and 100MB of data for $120 per month
AT&T does require the package be activated for at least one month, although cruisers could sign up for the service before they leave for their cruise and then call and deactivate the package after their cruise is done. This rate is in addition to your normal contract rate.
The new package is limited to the cruise ships of Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises. Here's a full list of supported Royal Caribbean cruise ships
