To ensure you have coverage across the 700+ islands, our eSIM connects to the country's premier providers: BTC (Bahamas Telecommunications Company) or Aliv. Aliv is known for its modern LTE infrastructure, especially in the "Family Islands" (Out Islands), while BTC has strong legacy coverage in Nassau and Grand Bahama. 

Yes. The Exuma Cays are a top attraction. While coverage is excellent at Staniel Cay (where the swimming pigs are) and Great Exuma, please expect signal gaps while on the speedboat traveling between the smaller, uninhabited cays. You will have enough signal at the main stops to upload your selfies with the pigs instantly. 

Not usually. Unless you have a specific high-tier "International Day Pass," most US carriers charge $10 per day or pay-per-use rates for data in the Bahamas. A Cellesim Bahamas eSIM is a much cheaper alternative, giving you a set amount of data for a one-time fee, saving you from a $70-$100 bill for a week-long vacation. 

Yes, usually. Most cruise lines' private islands (like Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day at CocoCay or Disney's Castaway Cay) are located within the Bahamas archipelago and are covered by local Bahamian cell towers. Our eSIM connects to local networks (BTC/Aliv), allowing you to share your beach photos from these private paradises without paying for the ship's Wi-Fi. 

Important distinction: No. Standard mobile eSIMs rely on land-based towers. When your ship is sailing in the middle of the ocean, you are out of range of these towers. However, the eSIM will work perfectly as soon as the ship docks at the port in Nassau, Freeport, or gets close to the islands. It is the best way to avoid the cruise line's expensive satellite Wi-Fi packages while you are exploring the ports. 

Yes, absolutely. Cruise ship internet is expensive and slow to download new plans. We strongly recommend installing and activating your Cellesim eSIM before you board the ship or while you are still at your home airport. This ensures your phone automatically connects to the local network the moment you wake up docked in the Bahamas.
