HBO on Princess Cruises?

[mrjlhayes]

We are sailing on the Ruby Princess starting on April 8 for a 15 day cruise to Hawaii.  That time period corresponds with the release of the first two episodes of the new season of Game of Thrones.  Does Princess' in-room TV service include HBO?

Have never seen it. 

[LARGIN]

No on HBO..  Can you record at home?

[Astro Flyer]

There are no premium channels such as HBO.

No.

I'd suppose you'd know to buy Unlimited MedallionNet on the Ruby and sign up for HBO Go and just stream it.  HBO Go is free to an HBO subscriber

You might be able to put HBOGO on a fire stick and use their internet to watch it on TV.  We had Game of Thrones trivia on the Regal last December... 😁 I won a bottle of champagne.

Agree with previous post-no HBO or any premium channels.  I download content from Netflix and amazon onto my IPad.

What channels do they have?  I am not worried about premiums but wonder what they have for news, network entertainment and weather.

Thanks!

Definitely Fox News...  BBC, I think MSNBC and cannot remember the others.

And "international" versions of these channels.   Not exactly the same as the domestic programming.  

Don't expect much from the TV offerings.

Standard live channels are:

MSNBC International

Fox News International

BBC International

ESPN International

 Programming is not always the same as U.S. programming, especially on ESPN.

There are also other channels that show discovery channel, classic TV shows, on board events, movies, etc.

Thank you, everyone.  The international versions will be interesting.  In the morning getting ready for the activities of the day and at night before sleep is when we most usually watch television (also will be some more on sea days).

seems like lots of 'futbol' on at anytime - also saw some cricket ...

Don’t forget Love Boat reruns and all the Carnival Corp. programs (i.e. Vacation Creation, et.al.)

I had heard about the "Love Boat" reruns.  Hubby actually enjoys those!

 

😁

[gotta cruise again]

We do too! That’s why I thought to add in the info; I watch the Carnival Corp shows on Sat. mornings too.

Thanks for all the responses.  Hopefully MedallionNet is fast enough to stream.  If so, we'll try watching on our laptop, or hook the laptop up to the TV.

Can you hook up an HDMI cable to the TV or a Firestick?
