Costa Cruises launched "MyCosta Mobile," a new application for smartphones and tablets that enables Costa guests to call and phone each other while cruising onboard its 14 ships with unlimited talk and text at no cost.
The MyCosta Mobile is free to download and register. Before their cruise, guests download the application from the Apple, Android or Google Play store and install it on their smartphone or tablet. Once onboard, guests connect to the ship's Wi-Fi network, register and launch the app.

By accessing the application via the ship's Wi-Fi system, guests can socialize with other guests on their ship by phone or text through the closed network at no charge. The app also can be used to contact a stateroom or one of the ship's restaurants, spa desk, shore excursion office and more.
If a guest uses the mobile device to access the Web or contact someone not on the ship, then the customary roaming and shipboard Internet-access charges apply.
