Poolside movies ?

[CruisinCadie]

We are considering a cruise on the Legend of the Seas. I understand they have recently added a poolside movie screen. People who have experienced this on Princess have mentioned that the volume during the day is too loud to carry on a conversation. Is this also true of RCI, specifically the Legend?

 

It's not a deal-breaker, and we will probably book the cruise, depending on DD and her BF's work schedules, but it's nice to be prepared.

 

Thanks,

Kathy

Our experience on Legend was that the volume was not overly loud during the movies. During the day there were no movies showing and the volume was low.

On Grandeur the volume was so low you couldn't hardly hear the movie.

 

It really ultimately depends on who's turning the dials in the AV room.

If you want to hear the poolside TV go on Carnival. The Triumph was docked next to us in Key West, and the volume was so incredibly loud we could understand every word of Cheers and I love Lucy. VERY irritating.

Graet! I assume there is a poolside band, and we'd much rather hear the music.

 

Hope this doesn't change between now and Feb. 2015.

 

Thanks for all your replies.

When there is a movie or event (football or whatever) on the TV there is not a band at the same time – it's always one or the other.

I was on a Princess ship this summer, and we never had issues with the outdoor screen being too loud. Maybe if you were using the jogging track right behind it, but not from the actual pool deck with all the loungers. I'm assuming it will be the same with RC, but the volume is probably decided day-to-day by each ship.
