This is very cruise dependent. Any near-shore cruises may have a constant cellphone connection.

I feel like you could though, if you wanted, have an offline vacation anywhere. I know people who go camping and turn their phones off the entire time until they return.

That's why I said transatlantic cruises. And yes, I could, if I want to isolate myself and treat my vacation like a punishment, but I still like to socialize and engage with the world around me on vacation, so it's nice to live in a world where there are a lot of people and events and no one is online nor expecting you to be.
