Cruise connectivity has entered a whole new era, and this conversation explains why better internet at sea is no longer just about Wi-Fi. In this interview, Bill Panoff sits down with Kidsan Barnes, Senior Vice President of Cruise and Ferry at Quvia, to explore how cruise lines are rethinking connectivity, guest experience, onboard revenue, and digital operations.
