There are no stupid questions but I’m gonna play my card....

My cruise has limited WiFi and at outlandish prices. I’m not paying for it. But, and here comes my question, will I be able to text my shipmate in the event we get separated?

I can ask someone who might know if you tell me where you are going But it might take a day or two.

My sister who has done lots of cruise says no you will not be able to text on ship! If you need to e-mail go to a restaurant that has wi-fi and send your messages then! Hope this helps! BTW They don't pay for the WI_FI either! Too costly! Of course you have to stop at an island or whatever to access a restaurant Hope this helps!

We went on a week- long cruise in the 90s when there was no WI FI , no cell phones, no texts or email, and we never had a problem.

You will not be able to text each other on the ship unless you both have wifi. I would recommend you both subscribe to Facebook's Messenger so that whenever you are in a port where you have wifi, you will be able to call each other without charge. Facebook's Messenger would allow texting, calling, and/or video messaging whenever you both are online.
