Cruiseathoning Posted November 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I need to whether all staterooms were upgraded TVs/on demand, or just some. We tend to stay up late. Also how are beds? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasbo49 Posted November 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2018 All cabins have big, new TVs, but they’re not on demand like Royal-class ships. Beds are the new luxury mattresses. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseathoning Posted November 19, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted November 19, 2018 That is strange. One Ruby review claims OnDemand came on two days into the cruise. https://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=638788 This is why I assumed it might have been rolling out slowly.

mcrcruiser Posted November 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Was wondering if Emerald will have the new TVs & On Demand for our Hawaii cruise April 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukesubsailor Posted November 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2018 It has been over 5 years since the On-Demand TV system first debuted on the Royal Princess. It seems that other things may have taken priority over converting the rest of the fleet to this system. My opinion is that On-Demand TV is more desirable than Ocean Medallion. I am no technical expert but I would think that On-Demand TV would be much easier to retrofit onto ships than Ocean Medallion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cited review does NOT state that "OnDemand came on two days into the cruise." It states that "we were supposed to get a video on demand just two days into the cruise." Big difference!!!

San Diego Ellie Posted November 20, 2018 #15 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Just off three weeks on Ruby, and beginning of week two (inside cabin), they installed the On Demand Movies. However, the selections are not at all as desirable as on Royal and Regal, not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casandbliz Posted November 20, 2018 #20 Share Posted November 20, 2018 We were on the Ruby Nov 3-10. I can't help with the original question about interior staterooms, but our mini suite had nice, wall mounted flat screens. We indeed got the ungraded On Demand TV system about 1/2 way through our week cruise. Lots of choices of movies, but the TV shows typically had only 4 episodes of each (altho there were a ton of TV shows!). We will be on the Emerald next Feb., and I have inquired here on CC if the TVs are wall mounted. Sadly, I was told they still have the old ones on the upper shelf. Oh, and FYI, since the TVs on the Ruby are now on the wall, you have an additional 2 electrical outlets where the old TVs were! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. We only had one outlet and two blanks where the TV used to be. I suspect it depends on the (de-)installer as to how many are left.

puggleperson Posted November 21, 2018 #23 Share Posted November 21, 2018 That's exciting. Does anyone know if the interior rooms on plaza have the new tv and on demand? I hope so. I stay up late when my husband is sleeping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobiemom Posted November 26, 2018 #24 Share Posted November 26, 2018 We disembarked 11/17/18. We were in C625 (inside). We had the big TV and On Demand. On the Wake show, Natalie said that they were working on putting the ship map (where you've been, where you're going, etc.) on On Demand. Beds were comfy. Don't know if they were new.

gretan Posted November 26, 2018 #25 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Just got off the Ruby yesterday. We had a balcony cabin on the Aloha deck. We had both the new comfy beds and the wall mounted flat screen tv with On Demand movies. Not sure if On Demand has been rolled out to the entire ship, but did not meet anyone grumbling about not having it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
