Wireless Maritime Services (WMS) Announces New Contract with Royal Caribbean Ltd. to Continue to Provide Cellular Service at Sea
MIRAMAR, Fla. (Business Wire EON) June 12, 2008 -- WMS service allows both Royal Caribbean and Celebrity cruise line guests and crew members, with a qualified plan, to use their cell phones as they currently do on land while the ship is at sea away from land based cellular phone service. Connectivity is activated when each ship leaves port and turned off when in range of land-based providers. WMS is providing uninterrupted service to guests so they can stay in touch with family, friends or business associates back home while they enjoy the experiences of their cruise. Guests can make and receive calls, send text messages and surf the internet at rates similar to roaming internationally.
"We are excited about the new contract with WMS, both for the existing fleet and for new ships planned in the upcoming years," said Royal Caribbean's Director of Hotel Technology, Patrick Manuel. "As the world has changed, we saw the need to allow the guests and crew to stay connected, in a convenient way, to those back home. The signing of the new contract signals our recognition of the commitment WMS has shown for both service and support."
"We are very excited to have grown the depth and breadth of our relationship with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity," said Leighton Carroll, President and CEO of WMS. "We pride ourselves on delivering the best products and services to our customers, and this renewal is an indication of the value we bring to cruise line passengers and crew. Royal Caribbean International is a terrific company and we are very proud to have them as our customer."
