Blu-ray player

[doowopbob]

We have a Penthouse cabin on our upcoming cruse.  Anyone know if the cabin has a Blu-ray player in it ?

I don’t know what ship you’ll be on, but there wasn’t one on Explorer. I doubt any of the ships have them.

We are on the Splendor.

I did not know that blu-ray players were still in existence.

We've been on a couple of the ships where a DVD or Blu-Ray in the suite was a perk but we never saw it; and because the on-line library was so extensive we never asked about it.   

My 'belief' was that it would appear 'on-request'.

I’m not sure that you can even connect one to the TVs they have now.

We were in a penthouse on Splendor last month and we did not see a Blu-ray player in the room. If you can find the email address of the Head Butler you could ask, or ask you butler when you get onboard.

I must be different than most everyone else - I rarely watch TV or movies on board...there's so much else to do that parking my butt on the couch watching a movie I could see at home just seems...I don't know, wasteful, I guess?

 

But that's just me.

Absolutely agree......especially when one considers the "free" booze onboard....

Absolutely agree with UUNetBill and Gpilon. I can watch TV at home for a lot less than $1000 pp/pn.

On the other hand if you have to spend five days in quarantine and can’t leave your room, and your wife moved to another room with the MacBook, that TV becomes a dear friend.

Very valid point.

Not cool...my wife could take my MacBook when she pries it from my cold, dead fingers.  ESPECIALLY if I'm quarantined and she's not.

In general I agree with you Bill. In our case I was the one who told her to take it. She cruises because I cruise so it’s really not in my best interest to do anything to degrade her experience!  I still was able to muddle through with my iPad and phone😉
