As I've found my old notes from the past cruise, summarizing the rates for outgoing SMS while roaming on MCP on-board network, here are the rates (converted to Euro as of todays exchange rates):

Plus Poland contract sim: 0.9
Orange Poland contract sim: 0.36
2degrees New Zealand pre-paid sim: 0.5
Vip Croatia pre-paid sim: 0.66
Swisscom Switzerland pre-paid sim: 0.73
O2 UK pre-paid sim: 0.56
Vodafone Romania pre-paid sim: 0.45

I haven't used any voice calls, but was told by the Customer Care that both Orange and Plus (PL) charge about 2Eur/min for outgoing call. The charge for incoming call was not fully clear, however I expect at least 1Eur/min.
