MCP GSM maritime service on board of ships and ferries

Let me come back to my old thread.
If there is anyone who has some more detailed information regarding the MCP Crew SIM pricing, validity, initial purhase conditions and price - please feel free to update the information that we've already collected.
I would be interested in all the details and possibly even in buing this sim as this summer I'm planning a cruise on board of a vessel that has MCP network running.

I've just come back from my trip and I'm happy to announce that I've managed to buy some MCP sim-cards for my collection. Sims were offerred at the reception desk of a ferry. I was informed that this sim will not work if a registration form won't be sent to the operator. It may take 1 or 2 days till the sim besomes active. Unfortunately one needs to be a crew member (this needs to be stated in the form) in order to ask for an activation. I haven't seen this form and I don't know the prices of calls and sms. The sim-pack costs 5Eur. I don't know if there is any credit included. Call credit is valid for 9 months. According to the attached leaflet the top-up vouchers are available on-board of a ship, however I haven't seen any.

Anyway - another nice and rather rare, but completely useless item in my collection
