Since we won't have continuous internet service, I am going to give ship's phone number to family whilst we are gone. The docs state to use the international dialing code 011 before the 954 area code; this doesn't make sense to me as 954 is a standard Ft Lauderdale area code.

Has anyone called the Silver Explorer before? Was dialing the same as any other domestic number? Was it a free call (i.e., included minutes)? Have family been able to get you a message calling the ship directly?

thanks,

Marc
