Mediterranean cruise - mobile roaming

nprice27 — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 18:32:23 GMT

I am going on a cruise around the med and do have Europe roaming but looking on the EE website it says I may need a roaming pass to use the internet through EE mobile network. The website does not link me to a specific product or roaming pass.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@nprice27 That pass is only good for when on land you might get a signal further out but at sea you’ll be using the maritime network. Please see THIS

See THIS about the roaming pass and you can purchase the roaming pass via your account under add ons> get more add ons>roaming.

@nprice27 : Are you on contract or PAYG?

thank you for replying. It just says how much it costs and no info on purchasing a roaming plan I don’t think.

Is there a specific name of a plan I can purchase. Desperately trying to not spend a fortune on the ship.

The roaming pass is a pay-monthly billing add-on, which covers EU-land-based networks but not those onboard ships. Those are more expensive.

Roaming charges are listed at https://ee.co.uk/help/help-new/roaming-costs

It wouldn't! There is no roaming pass for shipboard. The Roam Abroad Pass only applies to EU & a few other overseas countries..
