Don't mean to question this but have never seen Fox on Princess only the lousy CNN.

Hope your right it wasn't on the Island in August.

We had Fox news on the Pacific Princess Hawaii to Tahiti.

I think it depends on the feed the ships get. Sometimes the ships will get TCM and other times not. I never bank on the television programming.

If they are carrying Fox News, I believe Princess is listerning to their customers. I have left the suggestion on every Princess cruise I have been on, Hoorah if it is true:o

FCC Regulations require cruise lines to purchase very expensive decoder licenses in order to show broadcast television programming to paying passengers.

 

Typically the cost is around US$1,000 per ship, per channel, per day.

 

If the particular channel is not available on the marine satellite that is above the ship, the company still pays the $1,000 per day.

 

Fox News is not available on very many marine satellites.

Since only Americans are interested in that sort of news, it doesn't make financial sense to broadcast that channel - at rather high cost - to the rest of the world.
