Well the good news is you did not ask how much it costs. If you had asked
you could not afford it.

Contact your cruse line and ask them what type of long distance telephone
service they provide on board the boat that you are going on. They should
indicate that service is provided through IMARSAT. I don't know what the
rates are but rumor has it that $10-$50/min use to be the old rates.

Also note the quality of the connection may not be what you are accustom
to so the baud rates may be down.
