This survey is focused on providing a cruising ship with Internet access facilities. On a ship, the entire network infrastructure (networks, subnets, devices, terminals, etc.) is subject to mobility. Multiple connections (e.g., satellite, LTE, 3G, WiFi, etc.) can provide Internet access, thus making the ship multihomed, but the different connections may be sporadic, and provide different services in terms of bandwidth, throughput, cost. The user may thus need to dynamically select one connection among those that are available, according to its preferences. This paper presents a survey of network interface selection in existing mobility and mutlihoming protocols to provide multihomed network mobility to a cruising ship, or to any vehicle (e.g., train, car, airplane, etc.).
