Can I Use My Cell Phone During the Cruise?
Absolutely! While a cruise is the perfect opportunity to disconnect and relax, staying connected is easy if you need to keep in touch with family, friends, or work.
At sea, Royal Caribbean offers Cellular at Sea® service, allowing compatible mobile devices to connect through your cellular provider’s international roaming network. Roaming rates vary by carrier and can be significantly higher than standard domestic rates, so we recommend contacting your mobile provider before your cruise to learn about available international travel plans and pricing.
Many cellular providers also offer international travel passes that may provide voice, text, and data service while visiting ports of call. Coverage and pricing vary by carrier and destination, so it’s always best to confirm the details before you travel.
If you purchase a Royal Caribbean VOOM® Internet Package, you’ll be able to stay connected throughout your voyage using the ship’s Wi-Fi. This allows you to browse the internet, check email, and communicate using Wi-Fi-based apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, iMessage, and other messaging services—both onboard and while connected to Wi-Fi at eligible destinations.
For the best experience, we recommend reviewing your cellular provider’s international options and Royal Caribbean’s internet packages before sailing so you can choose the connectivity option that best meets your needs.
