TEXASMUNK Posted November 11, 2017 #136 Share Posted November 11, 2017 The choice of news stations may or may not be passenger preference. It is a satellite package that Royal (or any other) contracts with. So, my politics has nothing to do with channel selection. to us, it is background noise while we prepare to leave the cabin.

scottygirl Posted November 11, 2017 #137 Share Posted November 11, 2017 It certainly is easier to be spoon fed what you want to hear than to gather your news from several sources ( or tweets [emoji849]) and make an informed decision.

meadowlander Posted November 11, 2017 #138 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Anyone know if the Vision has Fox News yet? :D Good news, Vision has Fox news. CNN and CNN Spanish were also offered but I did not see Russia Today. I spoke to guest relations and mentioned how many people on cruise critic were hoping for Russia Today along with Fox. I wont repeat what the rep said but I will say she was a nasty lady, a really nasty lady! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wine-O Posted November 11, 2017 #140 Share Posted November 11, 2017 On all my cruises, never heard of Russia Today, but then again, I never sought it out. I can just imagine what the rep would have said when you asked about it. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdGuyMG Posted November 11, 2017 #143 Share Posted November 11, 2017 NPR has an app, http://one.npr.org/ I don't use my phone for much more than call and texts,, but this is a must-have. I hope Royal offers parity and runs PBS NewsHour at some point. Unlike FOX, CBS, CNN, NBC etc that pay local affiliates and satellite companies like Direct TV to run their programming... PBS is not a network. They are a distributor of programming that is produced by local member stations and aired by your local PBS station who pay to PBS a fee that comes from contributions from local grants, corporate underwriters and "Viewers Like You" PBS NewHour is produced by WETA in Washington DC and Royal Caribbean is not a PBS distribution member affiliate. So the chances of seeing NewsHour on one of their ships are 0% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torpeedo Posted November 11, 2017 #147 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Thats great news for the Freedom. We've had the choice of Fox on the Oasis for a while. We were on the Anthem in Sept/Oct and not on the Anthem at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezy270 Posted November 15, 2017 #148 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I was on Allure in September and Harmony just last week and both ships had FOX news. Must be that they have not made the addition to all the ships yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
