CRUISE NEWS - Royal Caribbean Bans Popular Device, CARNIVAL SAYS NO TO STARLINK MINI, Regent Update
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses several recent developments in the cruise industry, beginning with a new policy from Royal Caribbean. The cruise line has added extension cords and multi-plug wall adapters to its banned items list, citing fire hazards as the primary reason. The video also covers the Carnival Panorama, which has entered dry dock in Singapore for scheduled maintenance before embarking on a twenty-five night voyage through Asia. Following this, the creator shares personal updates regarding a recent trip to Italy and a visit to a shipyard to observe construction progress on the Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna. The final segment focuses on internet connectivity. The creator notes that Regent Seven Seas has successfully completed its fleet-wide rollout of Starlink internet. Additionally, the video addresses a situation involving a passenger on a Carnival ship who attempted to use a Starlink Mini device. Carnival security reportedly confiscated the device, citing prohibitions against satellite dishes and other internet infrastructure. The creator speculates that such bans may be intended to prevent interference with ship communications or to protect the cruise lines' own internet revenue streams.

Creator's Key Takeaways
Royal Caribbean has added a new item to their band item list that I think a lot of people take on board they've essentially banned extension cords and then they've banned anything that you can plug into a wall adapter or wall socket that gives you multiple adapters
Regent 7 C's completing their starlink internet roll out all of their ships have starlink internet now and I think most people at this point accept starlink as the best option for cruise ship internet
I guess starlink mini a no go for Carnival Cruisers
