Royal Caribbean has confirmed that it will use the SpaceX Starlink internet system on all of its cruise ships. The decision was taken after the successful tests carried out on their Freedom of the Seas ship since last June.
Starlink will be used on ships under Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Silversea Cruises. The process of upgrading the Royal Caribbean fleet's internet service is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2023.
Before switching to Starlink services, the internet speed on board was between 3–5 Mbps and later increased to 50–250 Mbps now. This will solve the slow internet issue in the ocean for a long time.
