DVD Player

[Jeffrey1950]

I just bought a small 9" DVD Player to bring on my next cruise. If I pack it in my suitcase will this cause issues with security? Or would I be better to carry it on board myself? Thank you !!

Our rule if it's breakable, cannot be replaced or cannot live without carry it on.

If it's a portable battery operated, I'd carry on.

 

Just so you know, you cannot hook a DVD to the TV in the cabin. Doesn't work.

I'd carry it on just to be on the safe side (ie breakage). However, if it's still in the box all nicely padded, it could conceivably go in your checked luggage if you feel confident about breakage.

Not entirely true. Depends on what ship/room/TV.

 

I've used my AppleTV on a few cruises. Although, my success rate with this is very low..on the 22 Carnival cruises I've been on, it only worked about 3 times. I always bring my laptop & speaker with me as a backup screen to watch on.

 

But yea, I agree with the above - don't plan on it :)

i always take my Laptop with my movies digitally downloaded to it and plug the Laptop into the TV. I have never yet had any issues doing this since i started about 4 cruises ago. As every TV so far has had a HDMI port on it and i use a USB to HDMI adapter.
