How Do I Text on a Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship?

By Robert Palmer

Texting on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends who are at home or far away. There are several options for passengers to choose from when it comes to using their cell phones while onboard. The most common option is the “roaming” option, which allows passengers to use their own cell phone plans while they are onboard the ship, as long as they have an international roaming package. The second option is to use a satellite-based phone service such as Royal Caribbean’s own VOOM, which offers unlimited texting and data plans for a fee.

The roaming option is ideal if you have an international plan that covers the countries that your cruise ship will be passing through. However, this can be an expensive option, so it’s best to check with your cell phone carrier before you leave home.

If your carrier does not offer an international roaming package, then VOOM may be the best choice for you.

VOOM offers passengers unlimited texting and data plans starting at $9.99 per day and up to $59.99 per week, depending on the package chosen. This service works even in areas where there is no cellular coverage since it uses satellite technology. With VOOM, you can send text messages and make calls just like you would back home – the only difference is that all calls must be made on the ship due to satellite coverage limitations.

Conclusion:

Using a cell phone on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship has never been easier or more affordable thanks to options like international roaming packages and VOOM’s satellite-based services. Whether you choose to use your own plan or opt for VOOM’s unlimited texting and data plans, you can stay in touch with family back home no matter where your cruise takes you.
