YouTube Video Description↓

Starlink was installed last weekend and has been operational on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas for the last two cruises. To go where no Cruise Ship Vlogger has gone before, I am attempting to do a YouTube Live from the ship in CocoCay with the ship's network! We will test out the quality of live streaming with Elon Musk's Starlink on Freedom of the Seas and hopefully, answer a few questions along the way.
