Pedro2400 Posted October 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Internet - We purchased the Voom( new internet on Oasis class and Quantum class) package. We were wondering if the tv in our stateroom has internet access so we can watch our Netflix account on it. ? Does any one know if this is possible?

I don't believe it's possible to get Netflix directly on the stateroom TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diplomacy Posted October 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) You'll need a device of some kind. Preferably a laptop + HDMI. Edited October 6, 2015 by Diplomacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbschultz Posted October 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2015 You'll need a device of some kind. Preferably a laptop + HDMI. Laptop + HDMI should work. Pretty sure I have done this in the past. Not sure if Royal has since removed the ability to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascol Posted October 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Your ability to log onto Netflix will also depend on where you are geographically. I was not able to log onto my Netflix account when I was in Rome a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromecast and laptop or a tablet with the Netflix app. It will even work from a smartphone too http://www.amazon.com/Google-Chromecast-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B00DR0PDNE Edited October 6, 2015 by ryano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted October 6, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Between the difficulty of connecting to the TV (you probably can't switch to the HDMI input without another remote), the probability of needing a VPN solution to get Netflix to work (since the IP address you get on the ship is likely to be outside the US) and the hardware you need to haul (laptop+cables), just unplug for the week and catch up on Netflix when you get back.

Clarea Posted October 6, 2015 #10 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Please explain? Without getting technical, there are programs that can mask your true IP address. Tunnelbear is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr4mjc Posted October 6, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hopefully Netflix will follow Amazon Prime and add a downloading option. Then you can just load up your tablet or ipad and watch offline anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riekl Posted October 7, 2015 #12 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Its not that complex. I used a chromecast on Oasis earlier this year took 5 minutes to setup, no special remote, no special vpn nothing. Was nice to be able to stream onboard the ship :) Upgraded wifi FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahleebones Posted October 8, 2015 #13 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I have PlayLater which allows me to download whatever I want from Netflix. I can then transfer it to a micro sd to watch on my samsung tablet and download to a usb data stick to watch on my computer. I also subscribe to unblockus and switch between countries to access Netflix in other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkny Posted October 8, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 8, 2015 How much are they charging for wifi. It was $20 a day for unlimited internet on the Serenade Of The Seas just this past week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
