Creator's Key Takeaways

if you book yourself on a 10-year-old cruise ship a 15-year-old cruise ship a 20-year-old cruise ship it's not going to be as pristine or as nice or as new than a one-year-old cruise ship or a 5-year-old cruise ship

the international plan covers when you are in those port cities it does not cover when you are cruising on the water from one port city to another

when you get on the cruise ship switch your phone into airplane mode that's going to shut off your Cellular Connection

I've had this scenario before where I've used my cell phone all day and I forgot to go into airplane mode I forgot to turn off the cellular signal and shortly after I began to cruise from one location to another I've received a text message

Creator's Tips & Advice

Switch your phone into airplane mode when you get on the cruise ship to avoid cellular charges.
Turn off cellular signal and use ship's WiFi while in airplane mode.
Know what services are allowed when traveling internationally to avoid roaming fees.
