I would just head for the nearest bar if I lost mine, in the past. Always worked for me.
Arrange a meet up point, should you get separated then head there.
You can telephone a cruise ship and get through to the persons room, but it is VERY expensive see this link.

Better to wait until they are ashore and use a mobile then but remember that most mobile phone companies charge extra for overseas calls and they will be in a different country every time they are ashore .
Agree with Mamy. Have a certain place to meet up in case you both get seperated and lost on board.
Try the ship's public address system.
Wait until mealtime, and sit and wait at your table.
^^ sorry I thought you meant your OH was going on the cruise and you were staying home so 'loosing her' for a while.
I've never not had a mobile signal, even in the middle of the Atlantic........
-- answer removed --
My elderly great-aunt and her even older best friend used to holiday together on land and on sea.

Laura had an awful sense of direction (she managed to get lost in my house) and so they took to attaching balloons to their wrists.

If Laura excused herself for any reason, my aunt would scan the room to see Laura's "Frances, where are you?" balloon and slowly raise her own "Laura, I'm here."

It never failed........:o)
after a couple of days i would ask the captain for help

Craft .. My OH's mobile is antique and mine's not much better. He isn't allowed to use it when he is with me, its too embarrassing. I was thinking of a walkie talkie ? Roger and out ...
Get Walkie Talkies then, plenty out there - will be fun.

Wonder if I can get some small ones... Not the ones you put next to the cot ....
Plenty to choose from at Maplins.
If they fell overboard I can only suggest swimming fast !
My sister and her husband used to do this when they were shopping in town, so they could separate and meet up later. They got cheap walkietalkies from an electrical shop. The ship will have wifi. Do your ancient phones have text facilities?
smurfy.....just a small point......how does one lose one's other half on a cruise?
Just arrange to meet up back at your cabin if you lose each other. Not sure how you would get lost. Presumably you are together eating, drinking, sunbathing, playing quoits etc?
I can see how - some ships are massive, and you go off and do different activities during the day. You wouldn't stay glued together :-)
