Review summary

The only problem I have with any of the Royal Caribbean ships is the lack of TV stations that other lines have. Especially the lack of News!!! The only news we get is CNN international which is totally lacking in content. Why not include some other USA based news stations like CNBC or Fox news??? These would keep us informed as to what is going on in the USA.

Don't go on a cruise to watch TV. Just use it as a night light.

Not judging, I go on a cruise to completely unplug, that's all...I can't relate but everyone is different

There's really no reason to be judgemental here. Some people might just like to see a little news or unwind with a little mindless television show at the end of the night.

I agree, the television offerings very poor. Not everyone stays up drinking all night. Not everyone likes the entertainment.

I'll be the devils advocate here. I was on a cruise when the Boston marathon bombing happened and wanted to see as much as I could, not knowing if it was isolated or coordinated like September 11.

yes, I agree with the others. ..I don't go on a cruise for the TV stations. When anything big happens in the world that we do need to know CNN will show it.

I'm not trying to be mean but....your on a cruise to GET AWAY. There is so much to do and your gonna waste time working about tv. Your paying however much to go on vacation to enjoy yourself. My rule on vacation is that you don't do anything that you can do at home. That's what it's for. Besides all of the news networks are corrupt. They only good news is local news.
