Magenta Plus service- Norwegian Carribean cruise

I have gone to Tmobile to ask about Magenta plus service and the Norwegian cruise we are going on next week. I was told NO Need to put on airplane mode, all is included and as unlimited roaming and international service.  Yet I have read again and again that is not the case on blogs, etc. WHAT is the 10000% real answer?  We do not want extra charges, want to be 1000% certain we access texting and posting correctly. My older son WILL also need to use the phone. What is the right answer while at SEA especially as there I have read again and again about how nothing is included regardless of me asking specifically today. Thanks!

  • There is no plan that covers roaming on any cruise ship.  Unless you want a bill with calls from $7 a minute and texts up to $3 a text.  Put your phone in Airplane Mode before you get within a couple of miles of the cruise ship and use the onboard WiFi and WiFi Calling.

    Yup … been there, done that - a few times.  Just as a note.  if you ‘did’ connect to ship cell service, and then turned your device off, you’d probably still get charged with incoming voicemail  @syaoran is correct.
