If you prepay you have three choices: 50¢ per minute which is $50 for 100 minutes, 40¢ per minute which is 250 minutes, or 30¢ per minute which is $150 for 500 minutes. If you do not prepay, or you run over your purchased minutes then is is 75¢ per minute.

And phone is pretty bad too. Ship to Shore is over $6.00 per minute. According to Sprint, which I have, if I used my cell phone on board ship with the ship's satellite link it would have been $2.99 per minute while at sea. When we were docked in St. Maarten it would have used the local carrier at $1.99 per minute, but at least when in St Thomas, since it was US territory and I have a nationwide roaming plan there would have been no costs.

Indeed not. There's only about one idiot per million guests.

Of course, that means most of us see about three a week....

Whoops, you got us on a very busy week. Sorry about the delay from the MWC. You won't be compensated, so a sorry will have to do. Now, let's get down to business:

The Marsupial Welcoming Committee would like to cordially :welcome: you to :sgt: ! You are hereby required to enjoy your time with us, by ordinance of :wombat: and :wallaby: . And yes, one of us is a lawyer, so he can enforce it. The other is a Cast Member and if you stop by my attraction with your current attitude and make yourself known to me, I will do what I can to make sure you have a great time with us.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

I was Buenos Aires on business. The international phone rates were so bad that my phone bill was higher than the hotel bill. I used Skype for the first time in November. It costs $.021 per minute and, other than some latency, is great!

( I should post it here!)
Yes you should. Why don't you? We are waiting. :twisted: :D:

Unless you are working at PI at closing and then you see 1,000,000 idiots to 1 non-SG.
