Use phone roaming but not data while international

I will be in the Caribbean (on a cruise) and purchased a cruise talk & text only plan from AT&T. It works on land for the islands that I am going to. How can I turn off data usage (I don’t have a data plan while traveling) but still be able to use my phone to talk and text?

I only see 1 toggle to turn off cellular data but it makes the roaming unavailable automatically.

thanks!

The Roaming that you are seeing there is not for call roaming, that is Data Roaming. Turing off Cellular Data does not disable the roaming capability for phone calls. If you have additional questions about how AT&T's plan works, contact their customer service for any settings changes.
