Bluetooth headphones

[Donna and Brian]

Can I use headphones via bluetooth on the in cabin TV on the Viking Venus in a Penthouse Verandah Cabin?

You must be kidding.

What is so silly about the idea.  I think that it is great idea.  Often my wife wants to watch something on TV in the cabin and I am not interested in what she is watching.  I would not be able to avoid the annoyance of the picture but at least I would not have to be bothered by the sound.

Its a great idea but I doubt Viking would allow for any interaction with their tv.

The "TV" is actually a monitor on a closed network. They are not bluetooth enabled and there is no ports accessible or meant to be accessed by the pax.

Haqdeluxe is correct.  Sorry, no bluetooth.   JohnEB

Gosh I wish!  But no.  On one cruise we were trying to watch the Star Theatre show on the room TV.  We had the volume maybe half way up.  Got a knock on the door from a ship officer telling us the room next door complained that our TV was too loud.  We have blue tooth headphones too.

Since I haven't looked into this before, if there's a headphone jack of any type, there are blue tooth transmitters that can be plugged in.

No accessible jacks of any kind that I could see.  Seem to be just monitors for the onboard service.

Ah, all the modern ships with their wall mounted TVs.  Just got off another cruise line where I was awakened at 7:00 every morning by the cruise directors morning show in the cabin next door.

Was it loud enough to complain to the hotel about this issue?

Actually, not a silly question.  The new LG TVs on some Princess ships allow Bluetooth connections.

Who cares?  The OP was asking specifically about Viking.
