Creator's Key Takeaways
Regardless of what your carrier tells you, because most customer service people don't understand, there is a huge search charge when using the satellite to make phone calls on board a cruise ship.
First things first, as soon as I step on board, I immediately switch my phone to airplane mode.
Check if your cruise line has its own app. Many major cruise lines have developed their own apps that work over the ship's Wi-Fi, and you can often use them for free or for a small onetime fee.
When the ship docks in port, I always hunt for free Wi-Fi at the terminal, a nearby cafe, or even a local restaurant.
