We are sailing cruisers and we are both still working. Starlink has made this possible over the last 2 years. The cost of upgrading to keep the dream going is way too much money.

We are full time live aboard and are big Starlink investors and fans. I hope these new cruiser punitive rules were just an oversight.

It is important to me because we live on our boat most of the time. It is very expensive We need internet all the time. e

I’m a sailing cruiser and some think that means mega yacht but it’s simply not the case. Starlink has been a game changer for safety and connectivity but the new Roam restrictions don’t allow roaming at all, particularly in the Caribbean where you can be in 3 different countries in as many weeks. Please reconsider the policy changes and allow people to use the service in a practical manner. Personally I don’t need the highest speeds, guaranteed throughout, nor even unlimited data.

Can’t return to home country with it on a sail boat. Was about to order but have had to hold off due to this

As a liveaboard sailor now for 2 years having Starlink is a lifeline to accurate weather forecasts (safety\planning) as well as at sea in case of emergencies. I believe the 30 day rule should not apply for this group of users as we all need these services all the time as we make long distance passages ( Personally have crossed Atlantic and Pacific) and if I needed to switch accounts even once during these transitions it could have jeopardized this. We own multiple devices support us.

We have spent a great deal of money on hardware and monthlies. Don't change the rules on us now!

Digital nomad families have a difficult set of conditions to not be exploited while traveling between many countries in the Caribbean

Starlink is safety for offshore sailors. The Global Priority pan is unaffordable. Please remove the 90 day country transfer restriction!

Starlink is a game changer for sailors. It provides a level of safety before unknown for most sailors are on a fixed income and can't pay the premium. Please go back to global roam.

Starlink has enabled a new generation of safer connectivity on the water, and access to assistance, resources, and help when needed. Boaters using Starlink are traveling billboards for the service, visible to hundreds or thousands from land who may purchase land subscriptions too. It may be a small group, but please consider the long term value of a happy solution here.

I don't want to visit a new country and stay there for 90 days just to activate my account, then depart a couple of days later to visit another country and do it all over again. Pointless to have Starlink!

We are not able to simply return to the home country when we are traveling and added expenses of going to other plans are not within our means as a retired couple.
