Elsammo46 Posted October 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Going on the Mera in a week and was wondering if anyone who had been on there recently could report on what English-language TV channels were available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1962 Posted October 30, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) On Divina 2 weeks ago we had CNN, TMC, HGTV, Food Network, Travel Channel, Discovery, Cartoon Network, Nick Jr, ESPN & ESPN2. I would think Meraviglia is the same, as those are the channels I remember from my January cruise. As an FYI, if you are interested in sports, the ESPN channels are primarily Caribbean / International versions and show a lot of soccer & cricket. The did show the national NFL games from CBS & Fox on Sunday afternoon, & Sunday, Monday & Thursday night football. They showed 1-2 college football games on Saturday and a couple of the MLB playoff games. Edited October 30, 2022 by JT1962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debde Posted October 31, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I'm so glad people are asking TV questions. Getting ready for dinner, getting ready for bed and some times during the day are where so many like a good movie or even some "Law and Order"- LOL Hopefully MSC will understand some of us Americans love our TV 😊📺 Heck-I need it to sleep at night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, Actually when I started reading the thread, I was like, "tv channels. What do you need that for?" Hahaha. I've actually never watched tv while on a cruise, lol. I look at my cruise account or the cruise line's stuff, but I don't ever recall regular watching tv or movies. I like to get away from that mess when on vacation. I can do that back at home 😁 So, this is an interesting thread to me. Oh, and I use a mini fan for white noise, if necessary. Happy cruising! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well we aren’t the same. Thank gosh. I personally enjoy relaxing watching some tv b4 bed. I like to fall asleep to a tv every night. Also don’t mind watching a movie some sea days to break up the day while maybe taking a power nap or just to decompress that’s why I always have my iPad with Netflix with shows downloaded. and I’ll bring an HDMI cable just incase I can mirror to the tv. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debde Posted October 31, 2022 #7 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Don't know how to do the IPad thing. [son lectures me often LOL] that being said what's on TV is somewhat important to us. I think a while back Royal had a channel called drama. It was a pre-taped TNT kind of channel. Hubby was in his glory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangman115 Posted November 2, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I sometimes like to relax in my cabin during the heat of the day or when I might get overheated. A TV is noise I like in my cabin as I relax and prepare to go back to party or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muushka Posted November 2, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 2, 2022 As one who enjoys watching TV while on a cruise (like admitting you don't like little puppies to some), I am very disappointed that the lineup on Meraviglia is the same as Divina. I can assume, like Divina, they also do not have free on demand movies. Ugh. At least on Meraviglia there will be a TV larger than the postage stamp one on Divina. Although it still won't be worth watching! But we loved the YC experience, so we will make do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meraviglia does have the port and aft underwater view channels, but they are only useful during the day, and were not always on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyPinkBug Posted December 5, 2022 #13 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Having once been quarantined with a 6 year old who had a stomach bug, TV channels are important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
