Creator's Key Takeaways
Cruise ship Wi-Fi can be super pricey. Depending on the cruise duration and cruise line, it can be eyewateringly expensive, even up to hundreds of dollars per week.
I had free basic Wi-Fi included with my cruise on Regent and I would often rely on the Gig Sky alternative to upload things to Instagram and Facebook because it was just so slow with Regent.
It's practical and affordable and a really great way to stay connected on a cruise with the freedom to choose when you're online.
If you're a power user that just needs constant access to the internet and is very much interested in streaming services while you're cruising or on holidays, then perhaps ship's Wi-Fi is still the better bet at the higher cost.
