I did the Rhine River Boat cruise from Amsterdam to Basel in June 2019. DW & I each purchased Orange Holiday SIM cards from Amazon for <$25 each. I believe it was 8GB, 30 minutes and 200 texts. The Orange network worked great for us and was more than enough for us over the 8 days we were in Europe. I believe you can get 12 GB, 30 minutes, 200 texts on Amazon now for <$30 which is a ton of usage. Key is to NOT install SIM until your plane lands in Europe. Be sure to have a paperclip or SIM tool with you. I put a SIM tool in my phone case behind my cell phone. I also stored my US SIM after removal in same manor. This assumes your phone is unlocked. Also, there are several texting app you can use to get around the 200 text limits (what's app, etc.).
The Orange Holiday SIM is also available as an eSIM. Calls and texts in Europe are unlimited.
