Free Wi-Fi is the most expensive thing in the brochure
Not because they bill you. Because of what it doesn't include. "Free Wi-Fi at the resort" usually means lobby and restaurant; on a 500-room property the pipe is shared; the dock and the dive boat aren't on it. By day three of the trip you've stopped checking the network indicator and just tethered to a friend's roaming.
The Caymans are a polished cruise stop and a serious diving destination. Cruise ships call at George Town and tender ashore for the day. Fly-in travelers use Owen Roberts on Grand Cayman and head to Seven Mile Beach or onward to Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Either pattern wants connectivity that turns on by itself.
Roamzy charges $11.16 per gigabyte in the Cayman Islands. That's $0.0109 per megabyte, billed in real time. No subscription, no expiry, no minimum bundle. One per-MB rate across 193 countries is the shape of the invoice, not a marketing line.
Price for the day, the week, the dive trip
A typical visitor uses 0.4–0.7 GB per day: maps from George Town to Seven Mile, ride-hail to a dive shop, the dive operator's WhatsApp with the boat schedule, video calls home over the resort's variable Wi-Fi. Call it 0.5 GB/day:
| Trip length | Roamzy ($11.16/GB) | Tourist roaming pass | Cruise-ship Wi-Fi |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-day port stop (0.5 GB) | $5.58 | — | $20–35 |
| 5 days (2.5 GB) | $27.90 | $30–80 | — |
| 10 days (5 GB) | $55.81 | $60–130 | — |
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 SIM at Owen Roberts is sold but a cruise-day passenger doesn't have time and a fly-in passenger doesn't want the queue after a flight. The eSIM is already attached the moment your phone catches the Cayman tower from the gangway.
Where does Roamzy work across the islands?
- Grand Cayman (George Town, Seven Mile Beach, West Bay) — 4G/LTE at 95%+, 5G in central districts
- The road north to Rum Point and East End — continuous LTE on the asphalt
- Cayman Brac — 4G in the populated west, weaker on the bluff
- Little Cayman — 4G in patches, gaps elsewhere; the dive boats are silent
- Stingray City sandbar — partial 4G, depends on tide and the operator's tower line-of-sight
- The cruise tenders at George Town — signal as you step off the boat, eSIM attached before you reach the pier
How do I install my Roamzy eSIM?
| Plug type | Voltage | Frequency | iOS | Android |

- The QR code appears in the dashboard once payment confirms
- Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → scan QR (do this on home Wi-Fi before you fly)
- The counter starts on the gangway at George Town or on landing at GCM
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 on the first top-up that flips on the second. No fine-print throttling that bites halfway through a dive day. No auto-renewal you forgot to cancel after the cruise.
It's not a marketing gimmick — it's an engineering decision born from indifference to gimmicks. You can't make a tariff cheaper than no fine-print and no expiry — so we don't.
What if my trip continues to other countries?
Caymans cruise itineraries usually pair with Jamaica and the western Caribbean:
- Jamaica — common next port; the eSIM picks up Jamaican network at the gangway
- Cuba — sometimes on the same itinerary; very different network reality (read that article)
