Royal Caribbean televisions

Does anyone know if you can connect cameras etc up to the stateroom tv? If so what connections are best?

Which ship? They have different TVs. I remember reading one review and I think it was the ovation and someone complained that they couldn't get access to plug anything into the TV.

Sorry, Explorer of the seas. Flat panel TVs

I was able to connect a HTML cord from my laptop to the TV on Mariner and I would guess you would have the same access on Explorer, That's as far as I got as I couldn't get our remote to change the settings. Others have done it, our Universal Samsung remote wouldn't work.

I have had success on Voyager and Explorer. Have used USB and HDMI ports, but you will need a remote to get the TV to switch. I used our Samsung remote with no problems.

 

Other thing I found I had to do was remove the data cable that operates the menu system before it would work. Maybe that was joandian's problem.

So the key is taking a universal remote so you can select the correct source from the menu.

Yes, you need the remote.

Quite possible. We didn't remove the cable but will know better next time :)

Are they Samsung TVs? I have a couple of Samsung remotes.

 

Otherwise I have a Logitech Universal that might work. Can anyone remember the TV brand/model so I can prepare before I board. :D

Both cabins we have been in have had samsung tvs. Can't guarantee that all ship cabins do.

From what I've noticed, all the RCI ships have Samsung. The sister ships do for sure and they are flatscreens, so I would imagine Explorer does too.

you dont necessarilly need to take any remote controls if you have a smart phone

 

a smart phone as long as you know what brand of tv is ... the phone can control the tv through some apps that ya can download from google play or itunes

Depends very much on the phone. Most don't have infra red transmitters built in.

Yes I "upgraded" my S5 for the S7 and lost the IR blaster. Luckily I still have the S5 so I won't need to take the logitech remote. I'll just head to the cabin before we leave port and sync up to the right model TV using mobile data.

Just off the Explorer last Sunday. Hope this helps.

TV is a flat screen Samsung.
