JEDIKNIGHT Posted March 13, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 13, 2010 That's a bonafide weenie shrinker. If I had to choose between my cruise and missing the finale to '24' or BattleStar Galactica, I'd have to think about it. At very least I'd have to seperate myself from ANY TV, internet, or conversational giveaway so I can watch the DVD whenever it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citygirl Posted March 13, 2010 Author #9 Share Posted March 13, 2010 thanks for the internet option and yes we will have laptop but from what I understand about connection speeds, watching a 2 hr tv show would cost a fortune and most likely be quite frustrating just don't want to hear all about it before I can see it since I'm sure they will save all the suspense till the final night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patty1955 Posted March 13, 2010 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I know what your mean about not wanting to hear about it first. If one of your ports has a place with free internet, you could try finding a place to sit and watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingChick Posted March 13, 2010 #12 Share Posted March 13, 2010 The TVs on the ship do not get ABC or any broadcast station. You are lucky if you get CNN or ESPN to come in. So you will not see the Lost 2 hour finale until you return home and watch it on your DVR. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted March 13, 2010 #13 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Yes you will be able to get it, it may be a little later due to time change! Sorry,No. Solstice uses a satellite systen and it doesn't not allow for ABC network. It has very limited choices. NO current tv schedules. EXCEPT a sports event if they can pull it in on ESPN.

eandj Posted March 13, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 13, 2010 wow one more yes I can get it to counteract the no I can't and I'll be all set, Thanks Set your DVR. Then if you don't want to use a couple hours of sun and fun to watch it on your computer at a port, you'll see it at home. If anyone brings it up at home before you watch it, tell them to keep quiet.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citygirl Posted March 13, 2010 Author #18 Share Posted March 13, 2010 wow a simple question gets so many smart aleck responses makes me wonder why people come on this board, do u just like to belittle nice folks all the time or only when they are on vacation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie115 Posted March 13, 2010 #19 Share Posted March 13, 2010 wow a simple question gets so many smart aleck responses makes me wonder why people come on this board, do u just like to belittle nice folks all the time or only when they are on vacation if you meant me I didn't mean to belittle you....I REALLY thought you had to be kidding....I mean you're going on a CRUISE, a wonderful cruise, there isn't a TV show anywhere that's worth worrying about when you're going on a cruise.....just my opinion of course..... OK..then, if you ARE serious....record it and just tell your friends not to discuss it with you till you watch it on your return.... MORE importantly, enjoy your cruise and don't think about it....

citygirl Posted March 13, 2010 Author #20 Share Posted March 13, 2010 honestly yes I was serious, while I would never cancel a vacation based on a TV show viewing, I feel that we each have our individual likes and dislikes, some people seem to love the bar scene on the ship and its not for us but I just figure to each his own, doesn't effect me unless they spill a drink on me and seeing this show would be nice for my husband and I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leoandhugh Posted March 13, 2010 #21 Share Posted March 13, 2010 And I am another who just does not comprehend how someone going on a wonderful cruise could be so tied to a TV show that it bothers them. The cruise is reality to be enjoyed while you can:) and I have no intention to diss anyone. Just that we obviously work from a different sense of values and interest.

Amy from Delaware Posted March 13, 2010 #23 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I know what you mean about LOST, and I wouldn't want to miss it either. If you *reaallllyyyy* want to see it as soon as possible, can you ask a friend to put it on a DVD for you, and ship it overnight to your first port of call? Then you can watch it on your laptop! I hope nobody spoils the ending for you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocJohnB Posted March 13, 2010 #24 Share Posted March 13, 2010 wow a simple question gets so many smart aleck responses makes me wonder why people come on this board, do u just like to belittle nice folks all the time or only when they are on vacation Look, you asked the question. I guess only two answers were possible. Yes, you can. No, you can't. It would appear to me that no is the answer. Now, you have two choices. (well 3) 1) DVR it (and hope your friends keep their mouths shut). 2) Try the internet . . . . slow as it may be. 3) Cancel the cruise, especially if it is going to ruin your cruise (and omigosh, maybe even the rest of your life). Of course, you could always petition Celebrity . . . . . . . . . naaaaah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
