SETTINGS for your Android on a Cruise Ship [To Avoid Charges?]

That's all you have to do. After a quick search I didn't find any apps or hacks that can disable the network radio locally, so just keep it in airplane mode and the Droid should stay off the network just fine.

 

Yup that works....

If I even took it with me on a cruise...it would be in the suitcase with the battery out.

 

Sort of negates the reasoning behind even owning a smart phone. It's a handy device to have on vacation even without making calls.

 

Most cruise ships own there own celll towers and charge there own fees just to let you know you should check with the ship if youll be making calls. You might get a value plan from Verizon but that wont stop the ship from charging crazy amounts..

 

how about just enjoying the cruise? A vacation is a vacation for a reason.

 

Last thing I have on vacation is a cell or laptop.....I'm there to enjoy myself and relax.

 

True but, reading Kindle books, listening to music or watching videos, taking photos etc., not really taking away from time off. It really is more than just a cell phone believe it or not.

 

just turn it to the OFF setting....

yeah, I agree on that point in general... as in, within the continental US. international and cruises changes the rules a little, and hence, changes if you really need all the extras.

 

When and where you going? I will be on Carnival Legend Sept. 5-12

I think I will take mine so that I have it while I am in the airports. I will have to charge it as some point, so I guess it will go into airplane mode to charge so that it is working once we port back in the states.
