SHIPS TV

We do a lot of reading and use the internet.

Actually we were just on Anthem of the Seas and they had this functionality. They had the large "on demand" selection and they had the "my account" display. They also had the ability to look up your schedule. Basically everything available on the Royal IQ app was available on the one TV channel

Exactly! We do run to the door as well. We should know better by now.

We don't go on cruises to watch TV so the only thing we put on is for ship info. Then it goes off again.

If it is an announcement that you need to hear, they will broadcast it into the rooms. Otherwise, I have found that you can pretty much ignore the mumbling in the hall.

Of course, curiosity always gets the better of me and I run to the door so I can hear it.

Outstanding...we did the same thing! forgot all about it. except there was no "description"...that would have been nice. And AUNTIE, we discovered the ships channel "announcements" audio on tv by accident a few years back.. I thought it was just me that couldn't hear anything except "garbled mumbling" in the hall...then way back I saw lots of heads poking out...kinda funny in a way..except for the possibility of an emergency. theres a lot of announcements hyping stuff, you tend to ignore them after awhile.

This was also available when we did the Panama Canal Transit. It was great because not everyone could get a "front row" seat to watch as we entered the locks and there it was on the TV. Some of our photos from that trip were taken of the TV. I think this is a special situation sort of thing, like Alaska would be.

While cruising in Alaska we had the tv on during glacier viewing. We turned on the bridge channel and listened to the naturalist narration while we were out on the balcony. Since we could not hear the overhead announcements while in the cabin, we also did that when we heard the overhead mumbling out in the hall.

I disagree...that's not selfish at all...matter of fact, its incredibly useful....if onboard wifi wasn't so horrible, but that's another thread...

I think what I would like to have is a station that gives a weather report of the major cities (I am interested of course in Denver, CO) on the last day of the cruise so we know what to expect when headed home. Purely selfish I know, but it would be nice to know if I need the coat as soon as I get off the plane.
