Has anyone managed to use data or roaming passport while on Norwegian Cruise

[Tillyfloss502]

I am going on a cruise from Southampton to Norwegian fiords was wondering if the £2 a day roaming passport for Norway works at sea ?

Hi @Tillyfloss502  no it doesn't, there is a specific rate for on the sea, it's quite expensive and data roaming isn't included. Some users reported that they were on a cruise ship and connected to the ships system and as it was American then Skys system thought they were roaming in the USA and the £2 charged worked. Not sure if this still works.

Have a look at page 13 on the guide below for over the sea charges @Tillyfloss502

When I last cruised past Norway there were times where I could receive a signal from shore.  (Probably much cheaper than the ship service)

'at sea', no: when out of range of a land-based cellular mast you're entirely dependent on what the ship provides, which is typically satellite data at a very high cost.
