Inside Passage cruises out of Seattle are legally required to stop in Canada — usually Victoria, BC. That's where Americans get surprise roaming charges, and Canadians get them in every Alaska port. The Alaska & Pacific Port Pass covers the USA, Canada and Mexico on one eSIM, from $10.99.

Maybe not for the Alaska ports themselves if your US plan covers them. Where it helps is Victoria, BC (international roaming for most US plans) and if your carrier's Alaska coverage is weak in smaller ports like Skagway or Icy Strait Point.
Every Alaska port is US roaming for a Canadian plan, typically billed per day. One Pacific Port Pass covers all of them plus Victoria for a single price.
Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway have decent coverage in town. Icy Strait Point is limited. Expect no signal while sailing Glacier Bay or the more remote stretches of the Inside Passage.
Yes. Cabo, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta and Ensenada are on the same pack, as are Canada & New England fall sailings.
No. Phone networks end a few miles offshore. Use ship WiFi at sea and keep airplane mode on so the ship's maritime cell network can't bill you.
