brentlym Posted March 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Just boarded and got the drink package, so those that ha e been asking about whether or not it's on the shorter cruises...it is. They put a sticker on your cruise card and swipe your card each time you order alcohol. You still sign the receipts each time.

Can you verify that during your cruise? Enjoy and Bon Voyage! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentlym Posted March 19, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks for checking in.Someone just got off and said all the TV's/Movies on demand are up and running now. Can you verify that during your cruise? Enjoy and Bon Voyage! :) Confirmed...at least in my cabin. Works beautifully. However, I was advised by my cabin steward that they're still working out bugs in the system, especially with movies on demand. I did test mine and it worked fine.

debi2g Posted March 19, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm also currently onboard the Sapphire and sailed the previous cruise as well. Our cabin has the new television and the regular channels work fine, but I do not see any access to On Demand features. There is no tv guide in the stateroom so I don't know if I'm missing something or our tv is not equipped yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's there, it'll be in the menu along the top of the screen...called Movies and TV shows. They're not labeled" on demand" specifically.

debi2g Posted March 20, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks for the help brentlym. Found out from our cabin steward that we do not have the VOD installed yet. We have one more cruise on the Sapphire on March 31. Maybe we'll get to try it then. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted March 21, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Are the movies free? They are on the Royal, so I assume they will be on the other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivesLikeMario Posted March 21, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Thanks for the updates, Brent. I was wondering what the status was of the drink packages and the VOD. Hope they get all the TVs up to date by the time I'm on soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraP Posted March 22, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Please let us know how the TVs and on demand are working;) Edited March 22, 2014 by BarbaraP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted March 22, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Please let us know how the TVs and on demand are working;) Very small chance anyone on the ship will be reading this thread, especially while on the cruise. You may want to ask someone on the roll call for the next sailing to report back on this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentlym Posted March 23, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just left the Sapphire a bit ago. Had a fantastic trip. There are quite a few cabins that still have yet to get the new TV system. Fortunately, mine worked perfectly in C718. The drink package was super easy and convenient. I'd recommend it and plan to do it again. I got my money's worth and then some. Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
