VaBeachcruiser897 Posted August 28, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2006 If you enjoy watching movies its GREAT... Your on a cruiseship; your drinking your favorite adult beverage,,, you have pizza behind you and they are handing out popcorn... Whats not to love.....

Julia’s Journey’s Posted August 28, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2006 We haven't experienced it on Princess but on Disney and really loved it, it was great sitting under the stars with the breeze watching the movie, lots of people were in the pools while watching too:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted August 28, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I can't imagine picking a cruise based on whether it has MUTS or not. If the ship has it and you enjoy outdoor movies, then it's fine. My experience with MUTS was one night when it was raining and we had to go under the decking... the sound was awful so I gave up after about 30 minutes. I also watched a movie during the day (Back to the Future) and it was enjoyable but I was one of the few watching. Most people were doing other things. I'd much rather have a ship with a dedicated movie theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnorkelFool Posted August 28, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Really enjoyed it. It is best in the evening when the only people around are those that are trying to watch the movie. But, it is hit or miss as to whether or not the evening movie will be something you want to watch. Out of 7 nights last week, I only found two movies that I wanted to see.

jturner901 Posted August 28, 2006 #8 Share Posted August 28, 2006 The only time we ever considered MUTS was when it wasn't MUTS but MNFUTS (Monday Night Football Under the Stars)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deubank Posted August 28, 2006 #9 Share Posted August 28, 2006 My husband and I (30's) love movies and fell in love with MUTS on the Grand Princess when it was first introduced on her. We have taken several cruises since and always pick a ship with MUTS. We've even held off on Alaska because of the lack of it. We will eventually cruise on other iteneraries w/o it, but for now it's an integral part of our vacation experience. We are out watching a movie usally five nights out of the seven. Did I mention we love movies? Besides, who wouldn't want to watch a movie out in the open ocean breeze where you can look up and see the stary sky overhead and realize there's no vacation in the world like the one you are on! Nothing can be better in our opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting_Cruiser Posted August 28, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I can't imagine picking a cruise based on whether it has MUTS or not. Couldn't agree with you more. There are so many things that are so much more important to me than whether there's MUTS. That said, my DDs really enjoyed it on our Caribbean Princess cruise a few weeks ago. Cheers!

VaBeachcruiser897 Posted August 28, 2006 #11 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I posted earlier that I really enjoyed it but that was last year on my H'Moon, Greek Isles. No radio transmitter etc,,, Do all the ships that offer MUTS now use the little radio thing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mik Posted August 29, 2006 #12 Share Posted August 29, 2006 We cruised on the Grand last fall in the Meditarranean. It really was a wonderfully relaxing way to end a busy sightseeing day. It was October and the evenings were a little cool. But with the wool blankets and lounge chairs, and of course, a little cognac, it was perfect! Which other ships offer Movies Under The Stars?

gonna go cruising Posted August 29, 2006 #13 Share Posted August 29, 2006 LOVED IT! And yes, my choice of ships is indeed based partially on that fact. I hate that during the day now we will have to use the transmitters. The family loved the during the day movies while sunning on deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Boat Dream Posted August 30, 2006 #14 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I didn't have high hopes for it on the Crown, but we ended up loving it! I wish we could have gone to it more. We only went at night. Too busy during the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina G Posted August 30, 2006 #15 Share Posted August 30, 2006 My husband is an electronic engineer, and he absolutely LOVED it! We were on the Grand Princess last year, and MUTS is very romantic-sort of like the old drive-in movie days, but with better sound. I watched Casablanca one afternoon. Ahhh! Everybody was singing along with "Sam" -You must remember this....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robvs Posted August 30, 2006 #16 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Crown Princess: It's cool, but there's a railing that blocks your view. To be honest, it's something I might look for in another ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
