They make money selling internet packages and don't want people bringing their own. Apparently it's listed somewhere in the fine print of stuff you aren't allowed to bring.

Would this mean I could use my phone on a cruise ship and not get killed with fees from the cruise line/carrier?

In some ways I appreciate that the cruise internet fees are high

So in an emergency we don't need ham radio because cell phones would still work?
