All I can say is don't worry. This happens sometimes. If they are on a sensative misson, or one piece of the system breaks and they are waiting on a part or something. If something bad happened, everyone would know about it... so it is with confidence that I tell you everything is okay, communications will probably be back soon.

Cheryl, you also may want to consider not "advertising" the comms issues you have been having on a public internet forum, use your brain contact the ships ombudsman for starters! -Jeff

Cheryl, I'm sorry if I came off as rude, just wanted you to be aware of operational security issues. Sorry to hear your daughter is ill, but speaking as a former shipboard corpsman, I can tell you that the medical personnel aboard are well trained, and will take good care of your daughter. Please pass along my thanks to her for serving in the finest seagoing service on earth! -Jeff

PS: per your concerns voiced in PM I pulled this off the inter-web, not sure how up to date it is, but you might try here. -Jeff

Just to give the OP something to be calm about, in today's age, a person can be in a kayak 500 miles at sea and simply use a handheld satellite phone to order chinese food. It's getting it delivered that might be the issue.

Yeah. those SAT phones are cool. We just got this at work for "disaster" use. We tested it when we got it and it works no different then any other phone. Seen where you can rent one for 35 bucks a week @ 2.49 a minute for use. Or you can buy "buckets" of minutes.
