The satellite you see currently needs to be able to see a ground station, there’s no hopping between satellites. Coverage will be limited to these line of sight constraints until the communication between satellites works.

- Retric 4y agoIn theory Royal Caribbean implementation finishes in Q1 2023, but that doesn’t mean individual ships aren’t going to have Starlink in Q3 2022. Further, Starlink is aiming for Q4 2022, but that’s not guaranteed.
