In room movies

[Natmom]

Hello,

 

This might be a silly question but are there any movies on the tv in the room? We are sailing on the oasis in May, just DH and I and we don't plan on sitting around watching movies but just wondered if they are available. We sailed disney last May and they had a nice variety it was nice when we just wanted downtime for an hour.

Turner Classic Movies plays 24 hours.

They have one or two movie channels. The selection and quality of free TV programming has gone WAY downhill in recent years. There is an option for pay-per-view movies; they are pretty overpriced.

If you are in a suite you can go to CL for DVDs to play on your playstation

This has actually been an issue on our comment cards for a while. The choice of viewing on the TV is limited at best. There are news channels, RCI channels and a couple other very limited channels. There may be a movie shown periodically but most likely something very old. After a busy day in the sun, sometimes it is nice to relax and watch a movie. This is really not an option in the cabin. You can purchase a pay-per-view movie but the price is outrageous. Don't plan on much viewing in your cabin.

How much?

Someone posted you could get a dvd from CL and play on your playstation. Suites have playstations? I'll never get my son out of the cabin now. lol

We were just on the explorer for New Years, and Caribbean TNT was the best! They played Pixar or comedy movies all the time. If you don't like that, then they have PPV.

We glanced last month and I want to say $11.95 or $14.95. Seemed very high, especially as we would not be able to see the movie in one sitting. Not sure if the price was for a one time viewing, 24 hour period , the week etc. as we never got that far.

 

I did like in the past that over a full day or days, I might be able to catch most of a movie.

 

Now it seems the same type of movie that was shown on TV is now on the poolside movie screen.

You have to get the playstation from the CL, too. The pay per view movies, I believe were $14.95.

 

What I did was download movies and even TV series to my IPAD prior to the cruise and watched them as I wanted. You can connect to TV with an HDMI cable.

I think RCCL which is my favorite line in general has the worst selection of movies and tv shows of all the major lines. Celebrity for one is 10 times better with large list of free on demand movies

Agred, even the movies in CL are terrible

I suppose you could watch Netflix with the fast connection, an iPad or chrome cast

Since you'll be on Oasis of the Seas, I think you'll also get a channel that plays Dreamworks movies.

So RCI doesn't offer a free on-demand channel? I know NCL, Princess and Celebrity do (or did as of the past three years).

[queenschick9b]

Do all the ships with the Dreamworks Experience have that channel? I remember having it on the Oasis and it was fun (I am kid at heart :))

I do not understand why they just do not have a dvd player in suites like Hal does, rather than needed to get it from concierge then returning it at end of cruise

Correct, no free on-demand channel.

You're better off bringing your own. Just download them to your tablet or laptop and bring a set of travel speakers...you can even enjoy a movie on your balcony or promenade deck.
