An island the size of Brooklyn, off the US Atlantic coast
Bermuda is 53 km² of coral platform 1,000 km off North Carolina — closer to New York than Miami, far closer to either than the actual Caribbean. The country runs on US-style outlets (120 V) and the dollar is pegged 1:1 to the USD. The connectivity story tracks that proximity: the networks are dense, the coverage is solid, and the bill from your home carrier roaming here is, predictably, North-American-shaped.
Roamzy charges $4.61 per gigabyte in Bermuda, or $0.0045 per megabyte, billed in real time. No subscription. No expiry. One per-MB rate across 193 countries — same model on Bermuda as on Mainland Europe, just at a Bermuda-shaped number reflecting the wholesale rate.
How much will Roamzy actually cost on this trip?
Bermuda visitors split into cruise passengers (3-day round trips out of New York) and resort guests on longer stays. Plan on 0.5–0.8 GB/day on cellular — most resorts and bars have functional Wi-Fi, but the pink-sand beaches and the south-shore trail don't:
| Trip length | Roamzy ($4.61/GB) | Tourist roaming pass | Cruise-ship Wi-Fi |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-day cruise stop | $2.25 (500 MB) | — | $25–35 |
| 3-day cruise round-trip | $6.91 (1.5 GB) | $25–60 | $60–90 (full duration) |
| 1 week (resort) | $16.13 (3.5 GB) | $50–110 | — |
Competitor prices in columns 3 and 4 are 2025 ranges based on typical offerings; exact figures depend on your home carrier, your hotel, and your cruise line. Roamzy's rate in column 2 is our actual published rate from the pricing page.
A local SIM in Hamilton runs about $20–35. The math against Roamzy depends on trip length — for a 3-day cruise it's the queue at the dockyard; for a 10-day stay the price gap is small.
Where does Roamzy actually work on the ground?
- Hamilton, Royal Naval Dockyard, St. George's — solid 4G/LTE, 5G in central Hamilton
- The pink-sand south-shore beaches (Horseshoe Bay, Warwick Long Bay) — 4G across the public access points
- The Railway Trail across the island — 4G in patches; near Devonshire it weakens briefly
- Tobacco Bay and the eastern caves — workable 4G
- The cruise pier at the Dockyard — strong signal, the eSIM grabs the network the moment you disconnect from ship Wi-Fi
- Reefs and snorkel sites offshore — patchy, expect drops
Bermuda is one of the better-covered small islands in the Atlantic, owing to its size and density. Real dead zones are rare on land.

Supported stablecoins, networks, and common iPhone/Android setup errors are in the FAQ.
What are Roamzy's honest limitations?
Three traps Roamzy doesn't have, because they were never built in.
- No welcome promo that bait-and-switches the second top-up. First top-up and twentieth bill the same per megabyte.
- No fine-print throttling halfway through the cruise. One rate, full speed.
- No auto-renewal you forgot to cancel before flying back. Balance runs out, the eSIM stops.
Bermuda gets the same design as everywhere else: a meter, a rate, and nothing that expires. It's less a policy than a refusal to build the parts a gimmick would need.
What if my cruise continues to other ports?
- Bahamas — common pairing on cruise itineraries from New York
- United States — typical departure and return port
