Sea42 Posted April 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2023 When we watch a movie we always use CC so I don't have to memorize the dialog for when my husband asks "What did they say?". Just wondering if CC if available on the cabin TVs. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare fellswoop Posted April 13, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Currently on Nieuw Statendam. Agree...some movies say cc English. Others not. The TV channels do not seem to have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAKcruiser Posted April 13, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 13, 2023 You can go to "settings" to put the closed caption on for the TV channels. Only about half of the movies had cc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Chris Posted April 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 13, 2023 It also does not show up on news channels such as CNN, in my experience. It’s a problem for me because I have severe hearing loss and I use captions at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAKcruiser Posted April 14, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 14, 2023 If you can't get cc, ask your room steward. They usually know what to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in my past experience, it doesn’t seem to be a setting problem. I’ve found that captioning may/may not work for one channel or broadcast vs another. Recorded programming such as movies are more likely to work than satellite-received programming but - as others observed - it’s not consistent. It also varies by TV brand, ship age, and so on. I go with the assumption that it won’t work and am delighted if it does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted April 14, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) A cruiser on the Carnival board recommended an app called Live Transcribe which I guess works like closed caption, was able to use it in the back of the theater for production shows, etc. would also work for dinner conversations…it also translates…EM Edited April 14, 2023 by Essiesmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
