Often forbidden on cruise ships as it would be on flights for the same reasons (possible interference). In an airplane it's also impossible to make it work though those tiny windows of course. But on a cruise ship balcony it would probably be fine.

It's also increasingly forbidden on cruise ships because their internet is today Starlink powered as well and additional Starlink receivers in the area are direct competition for bandwidth from the same satellites at the same time, and a cruise ship full of wifi-using passengers wants all the bandwidth it can get, in theory competition makes things worse for everyone, even the person with a personal Starlink receiver competing against the bandwidth flood of a cruise ship.

Semi-related, does anyone know what Starlink uses for de-congestion negotiation?

The rea$on that it i$ forbidden on crui$e $hip$ i$ not due to interference, whatever the company may claim.

Interferes with the business model. ;)

True, when I hear they charge $30 per day, that's ridiculous.
