Should I activate my WestESIM before my cruise departure?

Updated April 22, 2026

Yes, it is highly recommended to install and activate your WestESIM before you embark on your cruise. Cruise ship internet is notoriously expensive and often too slow for downloading new eSIM profiles. By activating your WestESIM while you still have a reliable internet connection at home or at the airport, you ensure your device automatically connects to local networks upon arrival at your first port of call, such as Nassau or Grand Cayman, providing immediate, high-speed access.
