One correction on call forwarding. On Verizon, you can turn it off with *73 + send. I use it all the time as I get poor reception in my home office. Rather than charging me by the minute, it just uses airtime in my plan (which I factored in when picking a plan).
Whichever way you go, have a great vacation!
Either *72+0+send or *73+send will work to disable call forwarding.
Rich, why do you think the "other" cell phone will work where the Treo doesn't? Is it GSM or something? FWIW, a lot of the Caribbean does have CDMA coverage (at least on Sprint). You might want to look into VZW's coverage area and/or contact the cruise line before dieciding to leave it at home.
At any rate, what you're asking about will work just fine. If you fwd your Treo to another phone, if the 2nd phone has signal, it will ring and show the correct caller ID. If you don't answer for whatever reason (signal or no), the caller will get the 2nd phone's voice mail.
If you're not expecting the 2nd phone to have signal, I'm not really sure what the forwarding buys you. If they're going to voice mail anyway, just let them go to the Treo's voice mail. You can retrieve VZW voice mail remotely. IIRC, you dial the Treo's phone number, press * while the greeting is being played, and it will prompt you for your mailbox passcode.
