I was just on a cruise ship and the reason they said internet is so slow is because it comes from satellites, but we can watch live tv from satellites without buffering or any issues? Why is video so much better than internet

With internet, you need to both send and receive information. Meaning you need a device that can broadcast to a satellite in orbit, which has sizable delays due to the distance, as well as bandwidth limitations due to it being used by many different people at the same time.
Satellite TV on the other hand just needs to blanket broadcast each channel’s signal, the receiver only need to receive the information.
