Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruising is a great and popular way to travel to alluring destinations while enjoying the convenience of a floating hotel, dining, and entertainment venue.

That's why I developed this easy guide to using your phone on a cruise ship to explain the three most common ways of using your phone while on a cruise.

Intermittent connectivity and slow download speed seem to be an issue for many people, no matter what they pick.

Don't forget to turn on airplane mode that blocks the cell signals so you won't have roaming charges.

βœ“Download videos and content in advance to reduce data usage.
βœ“Disable data usage for apps you won't be using.
βœ“Turn on airplane mode to block cell signals and avoid roaming charges.
