MV21 Posted April 21 #1 Share Posted April 21 We are just off our transatlantic on Vista and I must say I was disappointed to discover that none of the films on board had subtitles. Indeed there doesn't even appear to be a way to view subtitles on the TV. I am hearing impaired, or as my kids say, "a deaf git", so I wear hearing aids. When watching TV at home the need for subtitles to assist me is very important. When on the Vista I was careful not to turn the TV up too loud (especially after reading about all the problems with noise between cabins) but it effectively meant that I couldn't really make out the dialogue. It just seems a pretty large oversight on a new ship not to have included this facility, especially when virtually every film available on our flight to Miami had Close captions/subtitles in English. And a fair few in other languages as well. I suspect this omission is making the soundproof issue worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I sailed the Vista last year, the triangle button on the TV remote activated the captions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MV21 Posted April 21 Author #3 Share Posted April 21 Oh my. What doofus I am. If it worked for you tigerfan75 I'm sure it would work for me. Oh well I must remember this when we are back on the Vista next year 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted April 21 #4 Share Posted April 21 Did it ever, during the duration of the entire cruise, come to the OP’s mind to query their room attendant? 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to ask at reception, but I was on a cruise and never quite got round to it 🙂 I think the my level of 'doofusness' has been acknowledged but thanks for your contribution, most helpful 👍 😉 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
