I was recently on a cruise ship in the Caribbean, and they sold "Starlink powered" internet service for $40 a day. Interestingly, they seemed to let notification service traffic through. Any data delivered through a platform based notification made it through just fine, including large images in a youtube notification.
I assume it was to entice you to buy the wifi for some important notification. Or just so you would GET that important notification in the first place. Either way, probably eminently abusable on android at least.
That said, who the hell buys overpriced internet connectivity on a 7 day cruise? I have an addictive personality and spend pretty much all my free time on Youtube or Reddit, and it was refreshing to be without. I especially felt sad about all the young teens who were obviously scrolling tiktok or instagram. What parent buys their child a $3000 cruise ticket and then also pays an additional $300 per child for them to completely not do it? Cheaper than a week of babysitting maybe.
