Movies in Room

[artvlay]

Is there a charge for the movies in the cabin?

[EDDY0827]

None that I can recall.

[memoak]

No

[Bgwest]

No charge with an impressively large on demand library.

I think Princess is missing out on some revenue for first run movies.

I wonder if Princess is missing out on profit from first run movies. They can be expensive. Theaters make their money on concessions.

Are you encouraging more "nickle and dimeing"?

It's not that kind of ship!

I didn't think that Princess even showed "first run" movies.  I thought their latest ones had just been released to digital...

I saw Dune (Part 1) on the Regal in early June of '22...it was released end of October '21. Not sure if that counts as "first run" or not but I was surprised to see it on their system and for free!

I can't imagine watching a movie while onboard a cruise ship. There are too many other things to do.

After a long day on shore, sometimes a movie is all we can manage.

I couldn't tell you, I haven't been to a theater in over 40 years.

As if they don't already.😄

No?

Princess would sell just about anything from stuffed bears to bracelets, meals, priority seating, etc. Why not movies? 

Not that I would buy them.

Everyone is different!  It’s one of my favorite things to do while on a cruise.  We never get a chance to watch movies while at home.

I watch them during the day instead of reading by the pool.

It's also something to do while waiting for the shows to begin while holding a seat for my wife in the Show Lounge. 😄

No, and they have a decent selection as well.

I wait literally an hour or more every cruise day waiting for my wife to get ready to leave the room, go to dinner etc. What else would I do but watch a movie?  I usually get through two or three each cruise just waiting..... ;o)

In my case, if my wife is lagging on departing the room, there's always a bar seat with my name on it.  She can find me there when she's ready...and then we're off to wherever.

We watch them while waiting for the show too.

Many of us certainly can. 

[memoak]

We always pick one afternoon to have lunch in the stateroom and watch one movie. Kind of a tradition

I don't watch movies at home either unless one of my grandsons has a movie on and it catches my attention. When they aren't home, I rarely turn the TV on. I prefer my ocean view, the Internet, or reading.

 

On ships, I enjoy people-watching, various events, the passing scenery, and I never choose a cruise that has more than two consecutive sea days.

 

YMMV and I'm thankful that we all have choices! 😉

I do love we all have choices.  I would pick a cruise that had all sea days if I could .. 

the more, the better.  I rarely book a cruise for the ports of call, unless it’s Alaska, but for the time on the ship.

On a recent cruise we watched several seasons of Everybody loves Raymond at night in bed, hilarious
