There are multiple GEO sats that already provide service for popular airliner routes and for cruise ships.

  ... with 600ms latency. Starlink will blow them out of the water.

    Oh, sure, the latency will be lower - it's just that without these satellites it was simply not possible to get continuous coverage on long over ocean flights, so something is better than nothing. While for airplanes I think the latency might not be that problematic (I think VoIP in plane package full of people would not be very welcome) you indeed want low latency connection on a cruise ship.

      Regular web browsing also benefits massively from lower latency, not just VoIP.
