I’d guess that concurrent demand would be lower on a plane. A cruise ship has people with nothing to do wandering around, presumably screwing around on the internet being one of them.

> A cruise ship has people with nothing to do wandering around

The major point of a cruise is that there is constantly something to do. It's wall-to-wall entertainment, 24-hours a day.

My 2-year-old was too excited to sleep on a Disney cruise, so we just walked around and found character photos at 10PM. She was too shy to take her picture, so I got my picture taken with her hiding her face on my shoulder.

(FWIW: A cruise is also the kind of vacation that you need to bring some offline entertainment with you. I caught up on reading when I had to stay in the cabin with a sick child.)

Cruises sound and look like absolute nightmares. Physical manifestation of brainrot. Cyberpunk hell

I can't stand them, myself. There's also tons of really good food. You need a forklift to disembark.

I'm a die-hard nerd.

My vision of hell, is a Caribbean beach, mid-80s, warm breeze, clear water, and no internet access.

Really, the worst thing about a cruise is that there's a good chance you're going to get sick.

After that, it's more about your attitude.
