To save money on WiFi it is also worth checking with your existing mobile phone plan to see if you are able to use your data in the countries you are visiting at no extra cost. Our plans with Sky enabled us to do this which saved us using the WiFi time when we were in port. If your plan doesn’t cover that particular country or region then you may be able to purchase an add on which could work out cheaper. You must always remember when ever you leave a port and are at sea that you turn off data roaming on your phone so that you don’t incur an unnecessary costs and come home to a large telephone bill!
