[O2B@C]

Although they said sports and news will be part of it, I will still mention sports and news channels. Real sports. I've hard enough of twenty four hours socker. I would not mind finding out something about cricket however.

I picked other because "No TV" wasn't an option. I do not watch TV on a cruise.

The article says "will feel like the same experience you have at home."

IF I WANTED A CRUISE TO FEEL LIKE HOME, I WOULD JUST STAY AT HOME !!

[voyagerfl]

Where is the NONE Option ??? :)

 

Who has the time or energy for TV ? There's always VCR, DVR, DVD, etc.....

As for news...If the world gets blown up....I'll find out when we get home...:p\

Hi Everyone !

 

I am in the Finance industry, so I would like to see a Financial channel such as CNBC, or Bloomberg TV added in the future.

 

It would be great if they also had any/all of the 3 major networks: CBS, NBC, ABC.

[LovesMist]

For those who don't like TV on a ship because you can do that at home.... that is your prerogative. But you breath at home too and still want to do it on the ship...just sayin. ;)

 

We like to keep up with the news and goings on in the world. Can you imagine if something like 9/11 happened while we were on the ship and had no television coverage to watch? We also enjoy sports. And then there are times we would just like to enjoy relaxing in bed, knowing we don't have to get up and go to work in the morning...so it would be nice to be able to watch a movie. That is something we don't usually take the time to do in our busy life, and it would be a treat for us. So our preferred channels are:

 

1) CNN 2) ESPN 3) HBO 4)Turner Classic Movies 5) Bravo

 

Happy Sailing to all!

Why the heck would anyone spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars traveling someplace to sit on a sofa and watch "American Idol"???

For all I care, they can rip the Dam TV off the desk so I can have more room for my souveniers, hors d'oervres & champagne bucket...

(...but go ahead and put it in the bathroom so I can watch the Bow-Cam while I'm taking my bubble bath!)

:D

I voted "other".

My TV addiction is second only to my Cruise Critic addiction (which is second to my chocolate addiction :D), but on a cruise I don't care to watch TV. Not only do I not want stations added, I want them removed. And while they're at it they can remove the TV, too.

I first cruised in the days when there were no TV's, newspapers, or even outside-line phones in the cabins. To call anywhere you had to go up to the radio room. We were completely cut off from the troubles of the world and could totally decompress.

It was grand.

American CNN. We seem to always get the European version of CNN on cruises, even if we are just off the Florida coast.

[jeanied]

FOX for me and SpeedTV for DH.

 

It's nice to have options. Just because the TV is available doesn't mean you need to watch it.

[sicsinohio]

You mean there's a TV in my cabin??? Never noticed...I guess that's the screen that shows my SeaPass bill.:eek: Seriously, I can't remember ever watching TV on a cruise, even if it meant skipping "my" programs. As it is, I watch too much when I'm home and should be doing other things.

[1FatPER]

Fox News Channel

[ecs66]

Fox News! We've quit Princess because CNN is the only news option.

[SheilaNC]

Don't watch TV on cruises, but....since we're basketball fanatics, would love to have real time NCAA basketball or at least a news station that will give us up-to-date results when our cruises overlap bit sports events (how about ESPN US)

[RuthlessBoss]

We won't stop what we're doing to watch tv, but it's nice to have mainstream channels available. And, oh yes, American Idol. Also Bill o'reilly, HGTV for househunters. In fact, we sleep with the tv on.

[Peregrina651]

Anything sports for Hubby to watch while I take my turn in the bathroom.

[LuLaLuvlee]

BBC, TNT, or TBS.

[PelicanBill]

I voted for Food Network and Cartoon Channel, but would also want to see CNN Headline News, and more children's choices.

[CalGal254]

I'd really like to be able to have USA Network and the Hallmark Channel. Can't live without my Monk, Psych, Little House, and Mystery Woman!

[cruzin w chris]

Espn With Nhl Playoffs.

[Chivalrygirl]

Don't like telly all that much, but I just hate missing CORONATION STREET :)

[gunn2]

Fox News.

[caliber35]

Being a Weather Freak, the Weather Channel, of course! I have never been able to rely on the Captain's Noon update and I want to see the storms we are sailing into! Now seriously, anyone who thinks that Fox is fair and unbiased needs to travel the world and see how lowly we are thought of because of the current administration!

[vacruizer]

There are too many other wonderful things to do on a cruise other than watch TV! I can do that at home! So none of the above channels for me. I'll record anything I want to see and watch when I get home.
