 Using your cellular phone for calls or data on a cruise ship can be quite pricey but it should be much less than calling from your stateroom. It should be cheaper to use your phone while in port, if your phone can roam there. Cruise ships are normally required to turn off their onboard cellular access when they arrive at each port. Make sure your phone connects to the local, and usually less-expensive, network. |

 You knew we had to include roaming in the good 'ol USA. Roaming in this part of North America has been taken for granted. Mostly, each individual network covers the majority of the population in the US, but not all coverage is equal. In some cases, phones may roam wherever they find a signal, and others will roam off-network only in select areas where a carrier has a roaming agreement. Fortunately, finding areas with no coverage are the exception, not the rule, like it was just a few years ago. Coincidently, addressing the poor roaming capabilities of phones in the US was the original objective of this web site. | |||||
