I saw someone hawking this on youtube as an alternative to the "high priced" internet on the ships, and about the only thing I can figure is they clearly were being paid to promote it.

Now, I'm not saying that the cruise line plans are all that reasonable, but realistically, even since most of them have gone with starlink, other than price, they've been pretty decent. I have no idea what speeds the cellular at sea stuff is getting, but starlink has definitely in general been enough to be able to do things like zoom or streaming. (And of course, if you need to do either of those, you're going to blow through the gigsky data allotment in no time at all). Obviously some lines are better than others on pricing, but realistically, if you're going to need streaming capability, you're probably still far better off on the cruise line plans that the cell phone plans that have been revealed so far.)
