We were told it was hit & miss on that route, and in our case, a miss. The crew themselves were quite frustrated with it. We were in The Retreat so we had to best wifi package. Didn't matter if we were in our room or anywhere else on the ship.

Some believed it had something to do with China. Glad your experience was better! I did look up the Starlink coverage maps and they don't have much going on in that area.
