TV channels are limited and often without signal. To make matters worse Norwegian has restricted the ability to connect device to the TV. You can not cast to the TV via wireless or using a HDMI cable.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

Some ports were far from city centers and some ports like Acapulco were at a high criminal threat level according to the Dept. of State Website.
