Claim 10:
11. A method implemented by a system of one or more computers, the system being located on a cruise ship and usable to manage user requests associated with the cruise ship, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of user requests from user devices in wireless communication with the system, wherein the user requests are associated with applications executing on the user devices, and
determining an operating status associated with a satellite communication system located on the cruise ship, the operation status being indicative of the satellite communication system having bandwidth and/or connectivity to route the user requests via a satellite network,
wherein based on the operating status being negative:
queuing a first subset of the user requests, wherein the first subset are transmitted according to the queue based on the operating status being positive, and
responding, based on information stored in an edge cache maintained by the system, to a second subset of the user requests, wherein responding causes updating of one or more user devices associated with the second subset,

and wherein based on the operating status being positive,
transmitting the user requests via the satellite network to a shore-based system, the shore-based system routing the user requests to web applications associated with different functionality.
