For Americans Going To Europe Or Overseas

OK so I apologize if this is covered in some other thread or even in this one.

We're going on a Mediterranean cruise in a couple of weeks. We start in Spain (Barcelona, 2 days) then visit France (1 day, also will be in Monaco that day), Greece (2 days), Croatia (1 day) and Italy (7 days). I am buying an unlocked quad-band Samsung and my plan is only to use it for very occasional calls home to the US and to contact other cruise passengers. Is there one service we can use everywhere? I could do without service in France if that makes it easier. I guess I would want to buy the package in Barcelona unless I can get it cheaply and quickly by mail here in the US.

Cheap Internet service would be nice but is not absolutely required. I don't want to spend very much for this. I had not planned to bring a Bluetooth capable PC to connect to the phone but might if I can get Internet access by phone (although when I would want to use it at night, the ship will be out at sea and likely will not have cellular service so it might not be that feasable to use it as a modem).

Thanks..

Since my original post in June, I have been waiting until September to obtain the unlock code for my Vodafone 226. I have just obtained the code from the German Vodafone website but now I have no idea what to do next. No doubt there are instructions on the German site but the German/English translations I have been using do not leave me with clear instructions. Can anyone give me a blow by blow description of what I should do next. The Vodafone site I used to obtain the unlock code is as follows,

Vodafone D2 | Callya Handy entsperren - Vodafone D2 - Hilfe & Support / Infocenter / Hardware entsperren / CallYa-Handy entsperren

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance.

The URL I just gave in my previous email is incorrect. It should be,

Thanks.
