CNN International on RCCL Ships

[SMLT]

Is anyone else tired of CNN International and their lack of news coverage of the western world?

[msmayor]

Doesn't really bother me. We cruise to unhook from the real world so don't find it a need to see the news every day.

CNN serves a useful purpose for me. I turn it on and if I see commercials I know nothing major is going on. Then I turn it off.

On oasis a couple of weeks ago, they would switch to the regular US version for part of the evening.

I just want anything not left on a loop! I was going to scream if they showed the same episode of 2 broke girls again.

If you are unhappy with the content of CNN International, shouldn't you be voicing your concerns to them and not on a cruise message board?

The title of this thread is "CNN International on RCCL Ships"

My kid watches CNN on his phone during study hall at school. He does the same on board with Voom if he wants to know what's going on in the rest of the world.

 

Me, I am SOOOOOOO looking forward to not hearing ANYTHING about the USA's presidential elections for a whole week on my cruise in August!!!!!

For many years we didn't turn on the TV for days at a time when cruising. Now we're less active and would enjoy some better TV selections. Even though I don't feel Fox is "fair and balanced," I miss it since RCI discontinued it. We are now left with no news except CNN International and the Headline News network, both of which seem to be just the same thing repeated over and over.

 

We would greatly enjoy some of the programs they used to run about the building of a ship - those were really interesting and appropriate to a cruise audience.

On our last cruise there was so much Trump bashing on CNN International that I actually started to like him. :eek:

Perhaps an opportunity to expand your horizons.

 

There is more to the world than the "Western World"

So care less then...unless you mean "couldn't" care less

Regular/US CNN is on TV on the ships. It's US sometimes and international sometimes.

True, I guess I was venting because of the sea days on my last TA with endless rebroadcasts of promos for "Inside Africa".

After sail away or after dinner if I'm doing western itinerary passing Florida for a few hours my cell phone and news go airplane mode.

[foxgoodrich]

About the only times we turn on the TV are when we're cleaning up to get ready for dinner, and for a short time before going to bed. Or if there are rough seas, we take a look at the bridge channel to see what's being reported there, and we use the TV to check our account daily. We usually check in on CNN some and then channel graze a little to see if there's anything of interest when we have a little time in the cabin.

 

On Liberty last month, there was a channel with some oldish movies that ran repeatedly, so we laughed about watching a movie in 20 minute segments as by the end of the week we had seen the whole thing in pieces. Even more entertaining, though, is that although these movies were in English on whatever channel we were watching, all the commercials were in Spanish!

Did you purchase that cruise ship model on aboard ship and how much was it?

Definitely! I do want to know what has happened in the world - politics, economic happenings.

Count your blessings that it is CNN. They had Fox before.:mad:

Anyone who would suggest there is a difference between the two has been sucked in by one or the others spin.
