Ship/Shore communications: 1) For roughly the first half mile or so a cell phone might work (depending on the towers in the area). 2) VHF radio is line-of-site and usually works for roughly 26 miles. (ship/ship and ship/shore) 3) HF radio will reach around the globe. (ship/ship and ship/shore) 4) Satellite phones work from roughly 80 degees North to 80 degrees South - realistically anywhere in the world that MOST tourists would go.

The American word for the boat that takes you from a cruise ship to shore is called a "tender." Tenders are typically smaller boats used to transport passengers to and from the ship when it is anchored offshore and unable to dock directly at a port.
Ship-shore communication methods refer to the various means by which vessels communicate with land-based facilities, such as ports and shipping companies. These methods include radio communications, satellite systems, and internet-based communications like email and messaging services. Effective ship-shore communication is vital for navigation, safety, and operational coordination. It ensures timely information exchange regarding weather updates, navigation hazards, and logistical support.
In this context, "contact" refers to the communication link between the ship and the shore using the radio. The storm disrupted or cut off this connection, preventing further communication between the two.
It is called a tender. They use the life boats for this.
