If that works out I wonder how much they will charge for that? 🙄

That would be amazing and I would pay for it within reason.

Well, they have to recoup the loss due to Harmony forcing the abort of the SpaceX launch.  😉

Likely an olive branch that Royal offered to avoid litigation

I've been on the waitlist for Home Starlink for about a year now.  I can't wait.  This would be a huge pick-up for any cruise line.  

 

Also, Cats in the winter are learning about the "anti-snow" heater on the Starlink Dish

Hope it is an improvement in the internet speed and cost.

Speed? Probably. Cost? Probably not!

One can only hope.

I am foreseeing a new phenomenon: Starlight chair hogs...  People who hang out on the pool deck all night for the best signal so they can stream TV and movies.

Money making idea!  Rent your very own cabana at CocoCay, Labadee, or on the pool deck with super fast wifi included for the duration of the rental.

 

 

 

 

*18% gratuity conveniently added

**A separate wifi plan will be needed for other areas of the ship

***We may sell standing room around your cabana for others to share the fast internet
