GigSky Cruise Day Pass helps you stay connected during your cruise with 500 MB of high-speed data every 24 hours, followed by GigSky Essentials connectivity once you've used your daily high-speed allowance.
Your high-speed data allowance automatically resets every 24 hours for the duration of your plan, so you can continue using essential services without manually renewing your daily allowance.
1. What is a GigSky Cruise Day Pass?
The Cruise Day Pass is a cruise connectivity plan that provides:
500 MB of high-speed data every 24 hours.
GigSky Essentials connectivity after you use your daily high-speed allowance.
An automatic daily data reset every 24 hours for the duration of your plan.
With GigSky Essentials, you can continue using supported apps for essential activities, such as messaging, email, navigation, and rideshare services, even after your high-speed data runs out.
2. How do I purchase a Cruise Day Pass?
Follow these steps to purchase your plan:
Open the GigSky app and select your cruise destination.
Choose the Day Pass option.
Use the slider to select how many days of coverage you need. The price will update based on your selection.
Tap Buy Plan and complete your purchase.
Make sure you select the plan that matches your cruise itinerary and connectivity needs.
3. How does the Cruise Day Pass work?
Your Cruise Day Pass includes 500 MB of high-speed data every 24 hours.
Before you use 500 MB: You can enjoy high-speed data
After you use 500 MB: Your connection automatically switches to GigSky Essentials.
When your allowance resets: You receive another 500 MB of high-speed data automatically.
4. When does my 500 MB allowance reset?
Your high-speed data allowance resets every 24 hours from the time your plan activates, not at midnight.
For example: If your plan activates at 2:00 PM, your 500 MB allowance resets at approximately 2:00 PM the following day and every 24 hours thereafter.
5. What happens when I use all 500 MB?
Once you've used your daily 500 MB high-speed allowance, your connection automatically switches to GigSky Essentials.
Your Day Pass remains active, and you can continue using supported essential services until your next high-speed allowance becomes available.
6. Why does my plan show “In Use” when I have 0 MB remaining?
This is expected.
The In Use status means your Cruise Day Pass is still active, but you've used all your high-speed data for the current 24-hour period.
Your connection switches to GigSky Essentials until your next 500 MB allowance resets. Your plan will show as expired only when its full purchased duration ends.
7. What is GigSky Essentials?
GigSky Essentials provides connectivity for selected apps and activities after you use your daily high-speed allowance.
Depending on the supported app and activity, you can continue to:
Send and receive messages.
Send and receive text-only emails.
Use supported navigation apps.
Some activities, including voice and video calls, attachments, streaming, and other data-intensive features, aren't included in Essentials connectivity.

Please note that you'll need to manually switch between your Cruise Day Pass and Fixed Data Plan depending on which plan you want to use.
13. What happens when my Cruise Day Pass expires?
When your purchased plan duration ends:

The connectivity included with the plan will stop.
You'll need to purchase another eligible plan to continue using GigSky.
You can select Buy Again or explore other available plans in the GigSky app.
14. Can I use the Cruise Day Pass for streaming and video calls?
Your Cruise Day Pass provides high-speed data that you can use for online activities, subject to your daily 500 MB allowance.
Streaming, video calls, large downloads, and other data-intensive activities can consume your high-speed data quickly.
Once you've used the daily allowance, your connection switches to GigSky Essentials, where these activities are not supported.
