Should I activate my SouthESIM before my cruise departs?

Updated April 22, 2026

Yes, we highly recommend it! Cruise ship internet can be notoriously expensive and often too slow for downloading new eSIM profiles. To ensure you’re connected the moment you hit port, it's best to install and activate your SouthESIM before you board the ship, or at least while you still have a strong internet connection at your home airport. This way, your phone will automatically connect to local networks as soon as you arrive in places like Cozumel or Roatán, ready for your adventures.
