Rosmerta Posted January 31, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2020 We'll be on the Constellation Singapore to Dubai in March (Coronavirus willing) and enjoy watching a little TV. Our last cruise on HAL, we were disappointed that some of the programming we liked before was completely eliminated. So, to know if I should download movies onto the Ipad, which could lead to higher priced internet, could you tell me what's showing these days: serials, films, BBC mysteries, news shows, any in other languages, etc. Thanks.

CrownCruiserKK Posted January 31, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I'm very interested to hear a reply to this as well. Last year on the Equinox, I was extremely excited to see that there was a British channel called ITV on board. It was great. Amazing game shows, especially Tipping Point. Made an excellent afternoon activity after sun. I will be on board the Summit in two weeks time. Hoping to have ITV again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket, which is huge in certain parts of the world. One of my favorite things about cruising is not watching TV. Well, other than the deck camera and current position.

micheleata Posted January 31, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Really not a big selection on Equinox. Some news channels, food tv, hgtv, celebrity events channels. I wasn't looking for sports, but do not remember seeing them as I was flipping. In all of our 10 day cruises it seemed like they just kept rerunning the same hgtv and food shows over and over. We had the bridge and map channel on a lot. I do believe there are a few free movies, but we did not look for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colocop004 Posted January 31, 2020 #12 Share Posted January 31, 2020 On the Edge last month we were also able to log into our Netflix account and watch our shows. That was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosmerta Posted January 31, 2020 Author #13 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Great answers. Thanks. so for Netflixs, which internet package do you recommend for two oldsters who: watch BBC mysteries, or other calm fare don’t download video games, but may download a news broadcast or YouTube video?

You will need Xcelerate Internet as the other one doesn't cover streaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted February 1, 2020 #15 Share Posted February 1, 2020 We have never had much luck with streaming- constant annoying buffering. Have not sailed Edge but have sailed all other Celebrity ships. Best to download some stuff just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes content is blocked if in a different zone from where it was downloaded, but sometimes being in airplane mode allows access on the iPad. We’ll have content from both the US and European zones. Sometimes after a hectic day, I just want to chill with Father Brown instead of cruise content.
