Royal Caribbean Is Putting Spacex S Starlink On Its Cruise Ships

Royal Caribbean appears to be moving forward with its Starlink rollout — it tested the service on one of its ships over the summer and will officially launch it on September 5, starting with a ship called Celebrity Beyond. The company expects to have the service fully rolled out across its fleet by the first quarter of 2023. Royal Caribbean’s announcement did not include technical details, such as how many Starlink dishes its ships would use or how much bandwidth it would share among a few thousand passengers. However, the company promises that people will be able to use streaming services and make video calls. SpaceX’s craft-focused internet service, Starlink Maritime, is relatively new, having debuted earlier this summer. Currently, it only covers coastal waters in parts of North and South America (including the Caribbean), Europe, and around Australia and New Zealand, but SpaceX says it plans to cover most of the world’s oceans by in the first quarter of 2023. The blue coastal areas are the only place the service currently covers. Image: SpaceX SpaceX has a lot going on with Starlink right now. Perhaps most obvious is its partnership with T-Mobile to transmit messages and calls to cell phones, using second-generation satellites it plans to launch next year. The company is also working with Hawaiian Airlines and charter airline JSX to provide in-flight Wi-Fi, something Delta (and possibly others) are also looking into. For those of us on land, the company recently released an RV version of Starlink. Meanwhile, the cruise industry has struggled to recover from the pandemic, according to a Reuters report. Like many other businesses, cruise lines have experienced staffing problems, with some even being forced to cancel voyages. There is also the question of whether people will continue to seek luxuries such as cruises, as economic leaders such as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warn that efforts to fight inflation will “bring some pain to households and businesses.”
