Do Cell Phones Work on Cruise Ships?

Millions of Americans are expected to take a cruise this year, and many of them will be wondering if their cell phones will work on board.

The answer is yes and no, depending on the type of cruise ship you are traveling on.

Cruise ships come in all shapes and sizes, and each one has different amenities and features. Some cruise ships have cellular towers on board, which allow guests to use their cell phones as they would on land. However, most cruise ships do not have cellular towers, and guests must rely on satellite phones or Wi-Fi to stay connected.

If you are planning on taking a cruise, it is important to check with the cruise line to see if your cell phone will work on board. If your cell phone will not work on board, you can purchase a satellite phone or rent a Wi-Fi hotspot from the cruise line.
