dawnphr Posted June 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Carnival Dream. Is there a way to see our location on a map as we cruise? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWolver672 Posted June 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 20, 2017 If I'm not mistaken, all ships will have a channel on the TV that shows your location. We've noticed it on several of the ships that we've been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocoaloco Posted June 20, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 20, 2017 It should be on Channel 18, the Map Channel - sometimes that can be a view that isn't as refined as you want so go to marinetraffic.com and put in the name of the ship. You will find out what ships are near you. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesKru Posted June 20, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 20, 2017 If I'm not mistaken, all ships will have a channel on the TV that shows your location. We've noticed it on several of the ships that we've been on. There should be... but not always. We have had them turn it off on several different cruises. When I asked a bridge officer why it was not there, they reported that they were having problems with the GPS feed that is used just for that ( not for actual navigation) and instead of having guest calling concerned that they were going to the wrong place they just decided to turn it off. On our Trans-Atlantic for the Vista it was showing us heading through Egypt... not to it, but actually through the land of the country... they turned it off the next night. Some of the newer ships have a screen by the coffee shop to watch where you are as well, but not all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted June 20, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 20, 2017 That's one thing I missed on the Splendor was the lack of the map channel. They had a "map channel" but it didn't show the map and location like other ships. I asked GS about it and they looked at me like I had 3 heads and had never heard of the map channel. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were also on Vista TA and saw one day on the map that we were in the middle of landlocked Europe. I was disappointed that the map wasn't fixed, but I like that we can laugh about it.

Gamecock_Cruiser Posted June 20, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 20, 2017 There is a TV channel in your cabin that shows this. Also, there is usually a larger screen TV the near promenade coffee shop that shows this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad1972 Posted June 20, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Last cruise we took Google maps pin pointed us when ever I brought up the app. You have to at least have the value wifi plan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted June 26, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 26, 2017 This was the map channel on Carnival Dream transatlantic, when we were trying to offload the pilot leaving Bermuda. So windy, I thought we might end up in France before he could get off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
