Hflors Posted February 14, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2018 TERRIBLE!!!!!!! I love to go to the theatre and watch a movie. I don't want to sit on a lounge and listen to water splashing as I try to watch and listen to a movie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted February 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) BIG screen at one end of the Lido Pool. We loved it! They rearrange the furniture so that all the loungers are near the screen, facing it. They even put special headrests on the loungers. You could watch the movie from the couches on the upper level, but we always sat in the loungers. I think the roof was open one evening and closed the night it rained. That didn't make any difference in the sound. The only noise issue was one night when there was a lot of motion and the pool was splashing. Sometimes the waves in the pool got very loud. And they put out popcorn, or you could take out food from the Lido if you prefer a larger snack. It's definitely in the plus column for K'dam when we think about next winter. Edited to add: They also show a BBC Earth documentary each afternoon. I think it starts at 3:00. The soundtrack wasn't so loud that it couldn't be ignored if you didn't want to listen.

CruiserBruce Posted February 14, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It is just like MUTS which Princess has had for many years...except it is all weather, which MUTS isn't. Only thing "new" about it is that it is not subject to the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted February 14, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It is just like MUTS which Princess has had for many years...except it is all weather, which MUTS isn't. Only thing "new" about it is that it is not subject to the weather. And not overwhelming LOUD during the day. On Princess, they started kiddie movies at noon, and the volume level drove us away from an otherwise pleasant area. HAL's version is more civilized.

Cruising-along Posted February 14, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I didn't care for it. At least not on our Caribbean cruise, because it was hot and humid. I much prefer watching a movie in a room with climate control. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twodjs Posted February 14, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 14, 2018 We enjoyed the set-up. Some movies just not well attended because most movies had a "downer" theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BSR Posted February 14, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 14, 2018 What time do they show the movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted February 14, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 14, 2018 7:30 and 10:00. Some nights it was only at 10:00. I think the earlier time was bumped for a few other events like receptions(Neptune Suites one night, high-star mariners another night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stpatsirish Posted February 15, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We loved it! Plus at the New York Pizza you could get pizza and late night movie snacks. And there was popcorn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenseasnomad Posted February 15, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 15, 2018 The space itself is lovely, IMO, but terrible for watching movies. Noise level and echo makes it more of a chore than a joy, so we elected to watch any movie we wanted to see in our cabin. When a movie is being shown, it's a good time to grab a snack from NY Deli & Pizza, as there were so few people in that area during movies. Also, on our cruise, we noticed that the first couple of nights the movie seemed to be well attended, but after that hardly anyone watching the movie. Whether lack of attendance was due to something better going on in another area of the ship or lack of interest in the particular movie we couldn't tell. OR if could have been that word got around about the poor sound and distractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BSR Posted February 15, 2018 #18 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I think it would be fun to watch a movie and grab some popcorn or a slice of pizza. Hopefully, the sound will be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also thought that. However, we tried a couple of times but it was SO loud we left. We did take popcorn away with us though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madera1 Posted February 15, 2018 #21 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We went one night and enjoyed the movie while on the lounge chair. The pillow made it comfortable and we grabbed a blanket as well. I think there were only about 6 of us in attendance. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenSunny1 Posted February 15, 2018 #25 Share Posted February 15, 2018 One of the pluses for me on Princess is MUTS. This is certainly an added attraction to get me back to HA. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
