morecruisin2245 Posted June 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Ok, so we leave this Saturday 6/25 on the Oasis. The question is, how do I watch the last episode of Game of Thrones Season 6 on Sunday night? Does anyone know if the ship has watch parties. I am thinking about streaming it on the new Zoom internet and hoping I can talk a crew member to let me plug my tablet into a large tv in one of lounges or bars. Any ideas or past experience?

erby2283 Posted June 21, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2016 You should cancel the cruise. What's more important than the GOT season finale? ;) I would think streaming may be your only option. HBO Go. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awestover89 Posted June 21, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Streaming will be your only way to watch it, you can ask about hooking up to a public TV, but there might be legal issues with that, I'm not sure where/if HBO draws the line on personal viewing vs commercial. I know you wouldn't be getting money from people to see the episode, but it could be a fine line if HBO wants to argue that Royal made money off of drink sales or something while streaming the episode. An unlikely scenario, but Royal may err on the side of caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted June 21, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I would say that there is zero chance that you will be permitted to "broadcast" on a ship's TV anywhere. Copyright violations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morecruisin2245 Posted June 21, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Ahh didn't think of the legal side of things, but I do have a final plan. Stream to tablet on HBO Go, use pocket projector and shoot video on a white wall, lots of those on the pool deck. Bluetooth speaker for sound. If anyone happens to be looking over my shoulder, I didn't know they were there !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durkman Posted June 23, 2016 #10 Share Posted June 23, 2016 UHHH, Yup, Final plan: Pull the curtain over the balcony door and use it for a screen. Just make sure you "Hold the Door" so it doesn't slam shut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ReRe71 Posted June 23, 2016 #11 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Just make sure you "Hold the Door" so it doesn't slam shut... Shedding a tear for Hodor... Yeah, I think HBO Go is your best bet :). #GoT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone happens to be looking over my shoulder, I didn't know they were there !!! no way in hell would that fly. I love GoT and have no problems with the violence and nudity and other VERY ADULT themes. but in no way whatsoever would it be appropriate to just blithely project it on a wall on a public pool deck, let alone the family one. wait until you get home and watch it .

sf2 Posted June 24, 2016 #16 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Another thought - see if one of the conference rooms are available. I know for certain that a couple do have a/v hookups for a laptop, in ceiling projector and a big screen . . . Private party? Catered? Contact the group coordinator once onboard . . . . . Bring your own cables, to be safe. Edited June 24, 2016 by sf2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact the group coordinator once onboard . . . . .Bring your own cables, to be safe. I was actually thinking about this too. It wouldn't hurt to ask. I'm sure you're not the only on-board who would want to watch it. Good luck and let us know what happens. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted June 24, 2016 #18 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Showing it to others in a non-personal use setting would be an unlicensed public performance and would be very much against copyright. Just don't get your hopes too high .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't get your hopes too high .... Exactly - I worked for an attorney some years ago who made quite a nice living going after bars that streamed PPV boxing matches.

sweetlove13 Posted June 25, 2016 #20 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Showing it to others for non-personal use might not be legal if it's in a bar or similar setting but having people watch it with you in your room is no different than having friends over to watch it with you in your home. I'd find some people to watch it with & see who has a suite then hook up to their TV with HBO GO & voilà, GoT party! [emoji2][emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erby2283 Posted June 27, 2016 #21 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hope you got to watch tonight. It was good! Now we have to wait another 10 months for only 6 episodes. [emoji35] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
