Often I'm in Italy for business, I perfectly know what the market offers there..You have to pay the SIM activation, for not less of 10€ + the prepaid traffic to charge on...+ a 4G option, which almost always providers offer separately.

It is not easy to go out from the store having paid less 30€, also for 2 weeks of service.

Instead, in my case, for the same rate, I get a witourist by rental, which allows me unlimited data, shared with all my family with the same performances of a fixed connection and without losing time looking for a store.

the EU changed regulations so that there are no longer any roaming charges if the service is used in a European country different from the one in which it was purchased.

 

Crystal and Viking, the two cruise lines we are currently using, provide unlimited "free" wifi on board.

Pay Attention!...Just to clarify...The EU law now permits to European users to use their domestic data plans all over the countries, without roaming charges...it is right...but nobody says what happen when the domestic limits are exceeded.

Obviously, a extra data traffic is charged by consumption and the medium rates are is about 0,20€/Mb.

It is still too expensive!

Considering that usually a domestic data plan for a smartphone is not over 10 GB/month, if you need for a massive connection shared with all your family for 10 or more days, an European SIM card surely is not a quiet solution.

Hi, I did a cruise in italy in June and I rented a local pocket wifi via web before my arrival in the airport.

I received the pocket wifi in Malpensa airport.

My experience was good, the coverage was almost always continued, also in the open sea.

The Witourist staff told me that the signal would have had to be present up to 20 miles from the coast...so it was.

I saved a lot of money because the onboard wifi was very expensive!...the data packages sold on the cruise ship were up to 15$ a day!...I paid 3€ a day for all my family!;p

I suggest ask witourist for more information.
