Our Global + Cruise plan, priced on its own, covers 20+ cruise lines at sea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">The roaming bill that follows you from deck to dock is the one to dodge.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">A travel eSIM stays on your phone from Costa ship to port<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">One Maya eSIM covers your phone on both sides of the gangway, in plans of 3, 7, 14 or 30 days. We offer four core plan types, each a prepaid, time-based data pass with unlimited data across 165+ countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Cruise coverage is its own purchase. The Global + Cruise plan covers 20+ cruise lines and 165+ countries, and Carnival Cruise Line is one of the lines it covers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Your high-speed allowance refreshes every 24 hours, counted from the activation date. One eSIM, one phone, and a trip that\u2019s about the trip.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">How does a travel eSIM keep you connected in Costa\u2019s ports?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">In port the Global eSIM runs on local coverage in the 165+ countries it serves, with unlimited data under a daily high-speed allowance that we state in our own terms. That allowance is the Daily Quota, at up to 4G LTE or 5G where local networks offer it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">After the Daily Quota is used, data continues at standard speed for the rest of the day. The allowance resets automatically every 24 hours. Some restrictions apply to very high usage of Unlimited eSIM plans, to keep service quality high for everyone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Your days start counting when you enable the Maya eSIM in your phone settings. A billing day is 24 hours from the moment the plan starts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">No SIM swaps at the pier. No hunting for a kiosk. Enable it, pick your port and go.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">How does a travel eSIM get a signal at sea on a cruise ship?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">At sea, a travel eSIM gets its signal through the Global + Cruise plan, which covers 20+ cruise lines and is priced on its own. Our pages name Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean International among those lines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Costa Cruises describes the roaming route in its own FAQs (FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions, Costa Cruises). They say:<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">\u201csatellite mobile radio coverage is available on all ships in the fleet that allows customers of the main mobile phone operators to send and receive calls and text messages, and also use data services offshore. Your device must be enabled for international roaming. Rates are determined by your operator depending on your service plan, please contact them for more information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Near the coast, the FAQs add, the phone could connect to a local operator, and the guest then receives an SMS stating the costs incurred. Cabin calls on the ship\u2019s satellite telephone are charged to your account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Costa Cruises Mexico\u2019s page says the GSM switches off automatically when the ship enters a port, where phones connect normally depending on the phone tariff (Informaci\u00f3n Importante, Costa Cruises Mexico). The same page advises contacting your phone provider before boarding, because international call costs can be high and are rarely included in phone company packages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Pick the plan before you board and the roaming screen stays boring.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">How much does a week online on a Costa cruise cost with an eSIM?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">A week of cruise coverage on the Global + Cruise plan is USD 109.99, priced on its own. The 7-day Global plan, which covers your days on land, is USD 19.99 (USD 2.86\/day) and suits week-long trips and city breaks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">For a longer trip, the 14-day plan costs USD 27.99 (USD 2.00\/day) and is marked Most Popular.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Your home carrier has its own price for the same week on land. According to Verizon, TravelPass is $12 per day, charged only on days the phone is used abroad, so a week of daily use is $84 (Verizon, 2026). According to AT&amp;T, its International Day Pass is $12 per day on land for the first line, also charged only on days the phone is used, which makes $84 for seven days (AT&amp;T, 2026).<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Pick your days and go.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">What should you check before buying a travel eSIM for a cruise?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Check that the plan covers your cruise line at sea, how the daily high-speed allowance is worded, and when the plan\u2019s days end. Our plans are one-time purchases that end with their days, and Auto Top-Up is opt-in and off by default.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Auto Top-Up is an optional feature that buys the same plan again when the current one expires. You can turn it off at any time from My eSIM in the app or at maya.net, with immediate effect. With Auto Top-Up off, the plan runs until it expires and stops with no further charge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Setup is where one aloSIM buyer\u2019s trip stalled. A 1-star Trustpilot review of aloSIM by Osman D., dated August 13, 2026, reads:<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">\u201cNo Russian manuals available. I purchased aloSIM for my family while they were traveling, but none of them could set up the eSIM. As an experienced Windows and Android user, I could have probably figured it out by trial and error, but my family couldn\u2019t. It\u2019s way too complicated with English-only instructions. Plus, after my payment successfully processed, the app still asked me to buy the plan again. # update since you are planning to add Russian instructions, I\u2019ll give aloSIM another try. My family is heading to Turkey at the end of August, and if everything goes well, I\u2019ll update my review to 5 stars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Atlas has lived through tectonic shifts, so one English-only setup page doesn\u2019t rattle him. Our fix is plain: one eSIM, installed once on Wi-Fi before you sail, that stays on your phone.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">Which travel eSIM should you buy for a Costa cruise?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">For data across several ports and sea days, each provider\u2019s own published words on plan structure and data allowance are what count. Holafly and GigSky each publish cruise coverage in their own words, while Airalo and Saily list no cruise plan.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mt-1 mb-4 overflow-x-auto\">\n<table class=\"min-w-full border-collapse border border-slate-200\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-left font-medium text-slate-900 bg-slate-50\">Travel eSIM<\/th>\n<th class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-left font-medium text-slate-900 bg-slate-50\">How plans are sold<\/th>\n<th class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-left font-medium text-slate-900 bg-slate-50\">Unlimited plan allowance, as published<\/th>\n<th class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-left font-medium text-slate-900 bg-slate-50\">Cruise plans, as published<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\"><strong>Maya Mobile<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\">One Global eSIM for 165+ countries, unlimited data at a flat price by trip length: USD 9.99 for 3 days, USD 19.99 for 7 days, USD 27.99 for 14 days, USD 49.99 for 30 days<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\"><strong>A daily high-speed data allowance (the Daily Quota) at up to 4G LTE or 5G where local networks offer it, reset every 24 hours; unlimited data at standard speed once the Daily Quota is used<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\">Global + Cruise plan for 20+ cruise lines, priced on its own: USD 49.99 for 3 days, USD 109.99 for 7 days, USD 299.99 for 30 days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\">Airalo<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\">Per country, per region, or one global plan; priced in USD<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\">Our unlimited data packages don\u2019t have a fixed total data cap.

Several providers above sell per country and per region. We sell one eSIM, priced flat by trip length: 3, 7, 14 or 30 days, from USD 9.99.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">At sea, the Global + Cruise plan covers 20+ major cruise lines with unlimited data, including Royal Caribbean International. It\u2019s priced on its own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Install once. The eSIM stays on the phone, and each cruise needs only a plan. Need more days mid-trip? Buy another plan from the Maya app.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">One switch, flipped once. Ship and shore run on the same connection.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">Can I install my eSIM before I board a Costa ship?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Yes. Installing needs a working Wi-Fi or cellular connection, because the connection verifies and activates the eSIM. The eSIM won\u2019t connect to a network until you arrive in the destination, so set it as your primary Cellular\/Mobile Data plan on arrival. The plan clock starts when you enable it in phone settings.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">What happens when my plan days end in the middle of a cruise?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">The plan ends. Maya is not a subscription; each plan is a one-time purchase. Buy another plan from the Maya app or at maya.net when you need more days. Auto Top-Up, if you turn it on, buys the next plan for you.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">Will my phone work with a Maya eSIM?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Yes, when it\u2019s an eSIM-capable phone on the compatible devices list at maya.net\/esim-compatible-devices. That list covers iPhones from the iPhone XR\/XS series through the iPhone 17 series, including iPhone Air, SE 2 (2020) and SE 3 (2022). Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Oppo and Motorola devices are on it too. Smart watches, tablets and laptops sit in a separate list of eSIM Compatible Devices.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">What is the daily high-speed allowance on an unlimited eSIM plan?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Every plan carries a daily high-speed allowance, the Daily Quota, at up to 4G LTE or 5G where local networks offer it. Once it\u2019s used, data continues at standard speed for the rest of the day, and no speed is guaranteed. The allowance refreshes automatically every 24 hours: a plan provisioned at 19:20 UTC on May 21st refreshes at that same time each day.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">What refunds does Maya offer if my eSIM will not connect?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Yes, in the cases the Terms of Service set. A full refund, less any applicable payment processing fees, is available when no data has been used and the request is made within 30 days of purchase, when an activated plan is completely unusable through our error and isn\u2019t fixed within 10 days of the refund request, or when an incompatible or carrier-locked device can\u2019t install the eSIM. A partly used plan that doesn\u2019t work properly because of a network issue on our side gets a partial refund, and a consumer may withdraw within 14 days of buying or until the eSIM is activated. Complete refund terms and conditions are in the Terms of Service.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">Should I turn off my home carrier\u2019s roaming on a cruise?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Yes, where your carrier bills for use at sea. AT&amp;T\u2019s Cruise Day Pass charges $15 for each 24-hour period you talk, text or use data, including background data (AT&amp;T Wireless Customer Support, 2026). On select ships, after 500MB of data at sea within a 24-hour period, speed may be slowed to 512Kbps (AT&amp;T Wireless Customer Support, 2026). AT&amp;T Business lists $20 per day per device on 400+ cruise ships at sea (AT&amp;T Business, AT&amp;T Cruise Packages).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">How do I fix an eSIM that will not connect on a ship?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Reset the data connection: enable Airplane Mode, wait 30 seconds, then switch it off again. If that doesn\u2019t work, you may need to select a network manually. To update the APN on iOS, open Settings &gt; Cellular (may be called Mobile or Mobile Service), tap the eSIM plan, tap Cellular Data Network and enter the APN name in the APN fields; on Android, go to Settings &gt; Mobile &amp; Network (on Samsung: Settings &gt; Connections &gt; Mobile Networks), select that plan, then Access Point Names, then Menu and New APN. Still no data connection? Submit a request to support.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">Do I have to delete my eSIM after the cruise?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">No. One Maya eSIM stays permanently on your phone, with no need to delete or reinstall it between trips. It stays on the device after the plan expires, ready for the next trip, and the next trip needs a new plan.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-6 border-slate-200\" \/>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\"><strong>Maya<\/strong> puts one eSIM on your phone with unlimited data, and a daily high-speed allowance, across 165+ countries, while the separately priced Global + Cruise plan covers 20+ cruise lines at sea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maya.net\" class=\"text-primary hover:underline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get your cruise eSIM \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how a Maya Global + Cruise eSIM compares with Costa\u2019s onboard Wi-Fi, both at sea and once you reach port.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2304,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel-data"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Does Costa cruise Wi-Fi beat a travel eSIM at sea and in port?
