Kineticoh20 Posted March 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Does anyone have pictures of the new televisions installed in mini suites? Are they still on the pedestal or is the one for bed installed on wall directly across from bed like full suites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a mini suite on the Regal last October and both LG flat screen TV's were on the wall Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin Grandma Posted March 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 9, 2018 New TVs on Caribbean Princess are not on the wall. We were on the sailing when they were installed. They are on the pedestals. While they are quite nice, they are a bit overwhelming for the cabin size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, it would have been nice having the main TV on wall across from bed, then the top of the pedestal could be used for storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original posted specifically asked about mini-suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original posted specifically asked about mini-suites. I can tell you that in balcony cabins the new 42" TV's are on the upper shelf just like the old ones were. I was told this is where the connections were located. I don't think Princess would fish through the cabin walls to retro-fit wall mounted ones.

While they are quite nice, they are a bit overwhelming for the cabin size. We were also on Caribbean Princess when they were installed. Agree with the above ... they are nice but almost too large.

pshaze Posted March 10, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2018 We just sailed on the Caribbean in Feb in a mini suite. The tv's are in the same place on a pedestal. They are large for the space. The speaker sound comes from behind the set so at the angle they are set it sends the sound into the opposite room. It was challenging to almost impossible to watch different things on each tv at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they still on the pedestal or is the one for bed installed on wall directly across from bed like full suites? These look silly. An oversized hack. I wouldn't do something like that in my home. Just hire the Geek (at sea) squad to mount them on the wall (bulkhead).

Thrak Posted March 12, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 12, 2018 It does look a bit dorky in that spot but I'm sure it was waaaaaaaaay less expensive to put it there than to run new cables through the walls. Maybe they will fix it if the ever get around to doing the medallion setup on this ship. As it is, I appreciate the larger size. I keep talking about moving the little 55" out of my living room into the bedroom and getting an 75" or 80" for the living room. The main reason I haven't done so is that I don't want to spend the money. Oddly enough, my wife isn't an obstacle to the bigger TV. She isn't real excited about putting a 55" in the bedroom though.

OCruisers Posted March 12, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2018 They actually do look way better than this photo in mini-sutes! (This must have been from a balcony cabin) These look silly. An oversized hack. I wouldn't do something like that in my home. Just hire the Geek (at sea) squad to mount them on the wall (bulkhead). They look way nicer than that in mini-suites!

Thrak Posted March 12, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 12, 2018 My only concern is that it looks like it might obstruct entry to the balcony a bit. I'll find out in a week. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Thrak, I agree with you it does look dorky in that spot. But the picture looks real sharp & clear. I may install them on the Rowboat in the Yo Ho Ho Suit. :D The Captain of The Rowboat, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted March 13, 2018 #19 Share Posted March 13, 2018 They look ridiculous but it looks easier to reach the HDMI connection. :) These look silly. An oversized hack.

denamo Posted March 13, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 13, 2018 With all of the issues Princess is having just to get Ocean Medallion up and running, doubtful that a TV on the wall like on the Regal and Royal is on the top of the list. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshaze Posted March 13, 2018 #21 Share Posted March 13, 2018 They look ridiculous but it looks easier to reach the HDMI connection. :) Was able to connect to an empty HDMI port, however was not able to get a picture, only sound. They have some of the tv control settings locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some of the tv control settings locked. You have to unplug & use only their HDMI port. The others don't work. On the older TV setups I could keep my unit permanently connected behind the set. I managed to get it working on the Royal a while ago but it was more of a hassle to keep changing the cable & I gave up after a few times. There were enough of the regular movies to keep me satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was able to access and use it on the Royal also but this seemed to be a different set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My player also has a cat 5 output so it's adaptable if I need it. I always pack all different types of cables & connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuk 48 Posted March 15, 2018 #25 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) New Tv in inside room also picture of hook ups was able to stream pictures from camera. Was mounted on wall and you could adjust it. Very close to mirror. Once the on demand was hooked up the internet had full signal before hook up was lucky to get a wifi signal had to open door.
