All ships under our jurisdiction provide satellite television. Cellular coverage has improved in a lot of areas on the Great Lakes, and ships are usually in range about two-thirds of the time while underway. In recent years, unlimited data plans have become very affordable, and some carriers (AT&T is one) have "North America" plans that let you use talk, text, and data on Canadian towers without roaming charges or data caps. If you bring your own laptop/tablet and enjoy streaming videos or using video chat, you will want to have a mobile hotspot capable phone. While the ships do have internet available to the crew, most limit the amount of data you are able to use and restrict you from visiting sites like Netflix and FaceTime.
