YouTube Video Description

Cruise Ship Wifi, Royal Caribbean Wifi, Carnival Cruises Wifi, Princess Cruises Wifi, Cruise Ship Internet, Internet at Sea, Phones at Sea Whether it’s for work, family, or entertainment, connecting to the internet on a cruise ship is more important than ever. For people new to cruising, it can be confusing understanding how it all works, and if you make a mistake in how you choose to connect, it can potentially cost you hundreds of dollars. In this video, I’ll discuss what you need to know about connecting to the internet and using your phone while on a cruise, the importance of using airplane mode or aeroplane mode while on a cruise and the difference between cellular at sea roaming and using the ship’s wifi. Although international roaming for mobile or cell phone services are now much more affordable on land than they have been in the past, in most cases, this isn’t so when at sea. Using Royal Caribbean Wifi or Princess Cruises Medallion Wifi for example, will let you connect to the internet on a ship separate to your regular mobile network. Using cruise line wifi means you can access relatively stable, relatively high speed internet like SpaceX Starlink for an affordable rate, and avoid the steep charges associated with international roaming while at sea.
