What data costs at sea
The median plan here works out at $20.00 a gigabyte, against $3.49 for an ordinary country plan — about 5.7× the price. Both figures are medians across every plan in today's crawl, and they move.
That multiple is the whole decision. A maritime plan is worth buying for messages, maps and checking in — not for streaming. Allowances here are sold in hundreds of megabytes rather than tens of gigabytes, which is a fair reflection of what the connection is for.
In port you are on an ordinary local network, so a normal country eSIM covers the days you are ashore and usually costs a fraction of this. Many people buy both.
Before you buy
Check the plan covers your itinerary's sea area — these are sold per region, and a Caribbean plan is not a Mediterranean one. Coverage at sea depends on the ship's own maritime network being switched on, which is generally outside territorial waters and can be off near port.
One provider we track sells maritime coverage, so this page is a list of their plans rather than a comparison between rivals. We say that plainly instead of implying a market that is not there.
