Cruise ship passengers warned to do one simple thing after passenger ‘hit with $1,300 bill’

One comment read: “The passenger is at fault. Cellphone service isn’t the responsibility of the cruise line. That’s a hard lesson to learn.”

Others pointed out it’s unlikely that the passenger didn’t receive text message warnings from maritime at sea services or the cruise ship’s own network.

“Ignorance is no excuse,” one person, who claimed to be an IT professional, penned before confessing: “I understand that for some, the difference between WiFi and cellular data can be confusing.”
