cheone Posted January 16, 2019 #26 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Great, with the new TV station lineup, we will not be in the dark during our cruise. With the elimination of CNN, we will be able to see what is happening and the weather back home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djptcp Posted January 17, 2019 #27 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I like HGTV, Food Channel and Discovery, but will definitely miss my daily CNN fix for news, especially mornings while eating breakfast in our cabin. Used to like TNT, too, during rest breaks in the afternoons. Never really watched much TV on cruises, but did like to keep up with the news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyjet Posted January 17, 2019 #28 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Just to make sure I'm on the same page; Is the map channel the one that shows where the ship is sailing, latitude, longitude and temperature? On my Horizon cruise this past September first Southern Caribbean itinerary for Carnival's newest ship. One of the things that stood out: There was no map/ship coordinates channel on this cruise. I wonder if that was because of the first time sailing, malfunctions etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on ABC saturdays at 8:30 am. My thing is I like watching travel channels when I'm not traveling...I don't like watching them while I'm traveling.

Rare Saint Greg Posted January 17, 2019 #32 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Maybe one of those TBD's will be the history channel. Seems like that would line up with the Travel Channel, Discovery Channel deal...I can watch the heck out of some American Pickers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean1000 Posted January 17, 2019 #33 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The only channels I care about are the map, forward, aft camera and the movie channel. We like to fall asleep at night watching a movie. By the end of the cruise, chances are we would have watch one whole movie. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray98 Posted January 17, 2019 #36 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I like the addition of Discover, Travel, Food Network additions. With those I will be able to find something to pass the time. Edited January 17, 2019 by ray98 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the map channel is as you describe, though on the ships I have been on it doesn't look much like the image you posted - lots of dark blue and black, IIRC. I took photos of the TV map just for the heck of it to record progress, but none are uploaded anywhere, otherwise I'd share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the old lineup I could sometimes find things I liked on TBS, TNT, TCM or TruTv. The new lineup....I don't watch any of those channels. I agree. I think the old line-up is much better.

We always joke that we've seen the whole movie but not necessarily from start to finish. More like middle, end, beginning or end, beginning, middle, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food Network and HGTV are always good for killing time during the "in between" moments. When we're in the cabin in the morning w/ coffee, post-excursions, getting ready for dinner, before going to bed, are all times that we have the tv on. Other than that, we're not spending time in the cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the easiest to copy. I'm still surprised why the Horizon didn't have the navigation/map channel available. Glad to hear that that was an anomaly and not part of the cruise line's dollar store model of shrinking and eliminating amenities. Today, reduced channels and no citrus fruits in the cold water bowls at the spa. tomorrow the new lifesavers instead of the vests this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin85 Posted January 18, 2019 #45 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I like the new line up. I was not happy on the last cruise. Most of the time we have on the Map or front camera. Before bed I like to watch TV for a short time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bchandler02 Posted January 19, 2019 #46 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Can't say I am a fan. TNT, TBS, Cartoon Network were good late night channels to fall asleep to. Seems like most of the new channels are primarily "reality" tv show channels, which drive me insane. Looks like Netflix downloads to the laptop are my friend. Just wish they'd unblock the HDMI port on the TVs - that is probably the single most annoying policy they have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
