I will be travelling from the UK to Seattle, USA, next month to pick up a week's long cruise to Alaska. What is the cheapest option to use my phone in more or less the same way I would at home?

Outside the EU, if you are on contract, you may use your usual UK allowances there with up to 50 GB data per billing month if you have more, when you buy for £25 / billing month or have already as a Smart Benefit the Roam Abroad Pass or you have an EE Max Plan. Otherwise you will need to pay the charges or buy roaming add-ons as set out in https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/roaming/roaming-costs/countries/usa.
If you are on contract, remember to text ROAMING to 150 before you leave UK to ensure the roaming ability is enabled on your account.
If you are on PAYG, make sure you have already used your PAYG SIM to make a call or text in the UK.
