Yes. Star of the Seas offers multiple ways to stay connected during your cruise.
While at sea, compatible mobile phones can connect through Royal Caribbean’s Cellular at Sea service. Any calls, texts, or mobile data used this way are billed according to your cellular provider’s international or maritime roaming rates, which can be significantly higher than normal domestic charges. Royal Caribbean recommends checking with your carrier before sailing to understand available travel plans and pricing.
For internet access, Star of the Seas offers Royal Caribbean’s VOOM® Wi-Fi powered by Starlink. VOOM can be used throughout the ship for web browsing, email, social media, messaging, video calls, streaming, and other online activities. Packages can be purchased for the full sailing, and one-day access may also be available. Royal Caribbean recommends purchasing Wi-Fi in advance through the Cruise Planner, where pricing is often better than onboard rates.
If you plan to use apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, iMessage, or Facebook Messenger, connecting through VOOM Wi-Fi can help you stay in touch without relying on cellular roaming.
Travel Tip: To avoid unexpected roaming charges while at sea, consider putting your phone in Airplane Mode and then turning Wi-Fi back on to connect to VOOM. Check with your mobile carrier before the cruise for any international coverage you may have while visiting CocoCay, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten.
