International phone call from Disney cruise ship?

I’m going on a cruise with the Disney ship next Christmas, but I have to make an extremely important international call (to South America) on Christmas day, and I don’t know if that will be possible from the ship. I know the ships has phones, but I don’t know if they’re built to handle a call from the Caribbean all the way to South America.

The ship will be docking at the Disney island, Castaway Cay, on Christmas day, but I don’t remember there being any phones on the island, either. Does anyone know if the call would be possible? I’m still trying to get a hold of the Disney people to ask them, but I’m wondering if any of you are familiar enough with the cruise line to answer.

My wife and I took an Alaskan cruise on Celebrity for our 25th wedding anniversary. I assume the Disney ships are set up in a similar manner.

There is cellular service on the ship. All calls will be considered “roaming” and the rates are kinda high (but not as bad as one would think). There is also shipboard phone service, but that was really expensive.

Check the web site for the ship you will be on and they should list the rates there.
