IIRC the cost of Starlink for ships is actually very high. Starts at $5k per month for a commercial vessel I think. Can’t imagine what it is for a passenger ship, but Musk is making his money to be sure.

So $1 per passenger-month or 3 cents. Network and access points were likely there already.
Starlink hardware (aka community hub) is $1.25M. Actual bandwidth cost is 75k per gbps per month.
