Hi Mrs. Moose, I see you are another Canadian.
You will have a wonderful time on this cruise. Sorry you are so anxious--you will relax once you are on the ship. I think the best thing you can do about the cell phone:
- if you already have a cellphone, talk to them about coverage off-shore. Not sure how well that would work, but I'm betting that there will be coverage at least until you get past Vancouver Island, and then probably up in Alaska.
- if you don't have a cell phone, talk to the main providers--dont' know what part of Canada you are in, but here it's: Rogers (and Fido), Bell, Telus. Not sure they will tell the truth, but you can try :p
BTW, if any old green tea will do, I doubt if that will be a problem. Not sure about white tea though--you may want to bring your own just in case.
