Cruise Ship Roaming

Yes, I got free incoming calls onboard on the "On-waves" network and outgoing SMS costed € 0.14. Btw I was on a Baltic cruise, too. Actually a big part of the Baltic sea is covered by land networks, but often you'll have to go outdoors on the coast-facing side of the ship to get a clear connection. As I spent only half a day in St. Petersburg, I didn't buy a Russian SIM, but the funny thing was, that a German prepaid SIM I used provided me free calls from Russia, as they obviously had some billing problem and so not a single cent was charged to my credit for an hour of calling home.
