Thanks for any replies.
You don't need to turn your iPhone off. You just need to put it into airplane mode, so it will not try to connect and roam. In airplane mode, you can still listen to all the music you have on the iPhone. In this respect, your iPhone will be an iPod.

Many ships have free WiFi that you can connect to for the days activities, etc. This WiFi will NOT get you to the internet for email, etc. While in airplane mode, you can go back into settings and turn on WiFi. This will not cost you anything, unless you decide to purchase an internet package on the ship to get to the internet.

Enjoy your cruise!
