Jsaxm Posted July 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Ok, this is probably a really silly question that not many people probably even care about, but I would like to know. I think I have seen some pictures of this from the photos people have taken, but is there a channel on the TV you can turn to where you can see your ship's current location? They have this kind of thing on some airplanes, especially the European routes, but I thought I saw something similar for the ship in a couple of pictures people have posted. I will be on the Carnival Spirit if this helps. Thanks, and sorry for the really odd question, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefSusan Posted July 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes, there is a channel on the TV where you can see the ship's current position. We keep it on at night as the music in the background is very soothing, and helps us fall asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indianaseadog Posted July 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I am kind of a "map geek" (wierd I know) and got a kick out of seeing where we were and tracking it. My DS also looked at it quite a bit. Not much detail in it but cool none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbrad Posted July 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes, they have a channel to watch the ships location. There are also a few spots throughout the ship that have larger screens with the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most wouldn't find it very entertaining, but I LOVE it! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R4D8P1 Posted July 14, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes. Carnival has quite a few in-house channels that you can view from your stateroom television. Usually one showing the current location of the ship, direction, and ship speed, one showing time, air/water temperature, etc., a couple that show a live video feed of an area on the ship, like the lido deck or a view off the aft, and one that shows the morning show and replays of certain events that have taken place on your cruise.

RRLLAL Posted July 14, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 14, 2011 We keep it on at night as the music in the background is very soothing, and helps us fall asleep. That's funny, we do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted July 14, 2011 #11 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I have not seen this on Fantasy Class, but this was Dream trying to offload the pilot in Bermuda. I thought we were going to end up in France before he got off. Waters were very rough, and windy. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelplus Posted January 30, 2013 #14 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I love the cruise tracking channel. Actually I was doing some genealogy research and found out that one of my relatives(Sir Moses Montefiore) was friends of Sir Francis Beaufort in the 1840s who invented the Beaufort Scale. some more pictures.This is from the Carnival Glory: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DS also looked at it quite a bit. Not much detail in it but cool none the less. Not wired to me, my wife maybe, I love maps and the such. I always looked for this channel on the Conquest but I guess they didn't have one. Hope Magic has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisFlo Posted February 9, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hi all. I know this is a really old thread, but this is a web based map being displayed on the TV. Does anyone know the ship's internal website address for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailinsusu Posted February 9, 2017 #17 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yes, Kortam, the Magic does have it. Channel 15 if I remember correctly. We were on the Magic for 2 weeks in January. The 1st week I was so disappointed that it wasn't working. About 2 days into the 2nd week it was back up & running. I was happy happy! It's nice knowing where you are!
