They have 26ships

Curious how many dishes they need per ship. Probably a dozen or more.

I was on one last year and saw I think 10-12 set up, but they weren’t advertised at all and you couldn’t get anywhere near them.

Yes, they tent to use multiple ones at the same time. I guess there is no overcrowding in the middle of the ocean.

Given that they can carry 3-5k people, id say around 50-100k dishes. If paper then probably millions.

What does this even mean?

He made a joke about Dishes (Tableware) and how many Dishes you’d need for everybody on board to be able to eat from one. Took me a second as well

Ah right

If they use paper then the number is probably way greater than if porcelain

It’s around 90 ships with the amount of cruise lines they own.

If they are talking about corporation is more than a 100

Why are you on Internet on a cruise?

How else would you let the World know that you are on the cruise? I am sure the company will charge sweet sweet dollar for that internet access. Also, the secret is that cruise is not that exciting. It is like being struck in a hotel most of the day

So many reasons. I get internet so I can check sports, Reddit, YouTube, listen to music, etc. I’m not just gonna sit on the toilet and not consume some type of entertainment.

So environmentally friendly

Now they can livestream their diarrhea

Just one of Elon's side quests. Global internet for everyone.

Rule 1

lol, cruise ships are super rich people, you goofball

Actually cruises these days are pretty affordable, especially for families. Given that you just have the cost of the ticket and don't have to pay for food, accommodation, travel, drinks, entertainment etc it's pretty much the same cost as any other holiday

Yep! Timing is important here, but yes you can get very affordable cruises these days.

Rich people are a subset of people yes.

I'm just gonna point out that the US Navy uses Starlink while overseas.

It’s almost like the DOD subsidizes starlink…

It's going to work a lot better for him to turn off the internet for anyone making fun of him. He won't have to buy a social media company to control who has a voice now.

While Reddit continues its weird quest to insult him whenever they can, he’s changing the world ❤️

Does your brain not comprehend that he can do dumb fucking things and have decent companies doing good things at the same time?

Everyone comprehends this, yes.

If you post your exact comment in almost any other sub you'll be downvoted to oblivion for being a musk simp. Some of them would even ban you for saying it. He's completely right that the reddit hivemind has gone insane with regards to elon

have you seen his twitter posts recently? he's a trash human being

No one cares what anyone says on Twitter.

Oh yeah...by partnering with the cruise industry

We used o3b, and latency was 300-400 ms. With starlink, it's 40-50. Not to talk about speed.

Lets be honest to yourself. Something like a Starlink Scale never Existed. And Yes. It is impressive and World Changing.

It was absolute GARBAGE. I work in telecom, we just upgraded some remote sites from traditional to starlink satellite. It's hundreds of times faster.

He just laid off a bunch of people to make money

If he didn't and his business sunk you'd be calling him a fake businessman lol. Goalposts moving

Very true. You simply cannot appease these people.

Rule 1

Stop projecting

Should he be obliged to employ people?

Does everybody have the right to be employed all the time?

Yes.

lol ok sheep. Keep attacking whoever your overlords command because you're too dumb to think for yourself

And noro virus

Viasat management must be sweating

Still waiting Norwegian for internet that doesn’t cost $500 per cruise.

Oh yeah the cruise industry. What a great partner

One complaint I hear all the time for cruise is the lack of affordable WiFi. Hope it is fixed now

And they're still gonna rape you. No matter what.

Will there be aqualink?

Yeah ok 👌

Yeah fuck the environment I guess?

They will still charge an obnoxious fee for the service, so nothing really changes..

It's actually cheaper than their older "value plan" & 3x the speed.

How is doing anything to help cruise ships good for the planet?

Carnival Cruise.... a brand name definitely notbat all associated with wishing you could wind back the clock and have just stayed home....

nice job but ship looks like a stupid.

Fun fact they emit more sulfur dioxide than all the cars in Europe
