What do most people set cell phones to when at sea on this trip where it is not as far offshore as Caribbean or transatlantic cruises?
Airplane mode?

Yes airplane mode. My cell would not connect to T mobile offshore ( turned off Wi-Fi to test it) so used the ships Wi-Fi. I did have the internet package.

Definitely airplane mode.  You are not close enough to any tower except in port

Cell phone coverage only extends about 20-25 miles offshore, and you will be farther than that offshore, more than 100 miles in many places like crossing the Gulf of Maine.
