free international texting

You don't. There are 215+ countries and destinations where outgoing texts are free. Cruise ships are not among them. Outgoing texts on cruise ships are usually 50¢ each.

Why did my text and email coverage stop? I bought 2 weeks unlimited and it's only been 1 week...

You can give Customer Care a call at 611 or reach out to T-Mobile on Facebook or Twitter to inquire as to why your international texting has ended.  Ultimately, it depends on what international plan or add-on you chose.

Nothing in any T-Mobile plan includes cruise ship usage.  The micro towers on  cruise ships are privately owned and charge some insane rates for any usage on them.   Expect ot pay around $3 a text and $7 or more for a call.  Purchase the ships WiFi package and keep the device in airplane mode with WiFi Calling enabled.
