We will be on the Elation in June and was wondering what the new Funvision system is. It wasn't on the Jubilee two years ago. Maybe Elation got it in drydock? What kind of features are included in "Funvision"

Thanks

We are going on Elation in June also, I look forward to hearing a reply on this one. My idea of funvision, was getting on the deck with the vision of the ocean and a margarita in my hand. Sounds fun:p Just kidding around, what is funvision anyway?

Carnival Cruise Lines Funvision ITV

 

Brady Communications developed an interface for an interactive onboard TV system for Carnival Cruises. A priority was to design an interface that was not only flexible and easy to use but that also appealed to a wide range of people. Through "FunVision", guests can access services such as shopping, room service, games, pay-per-view movies, and ordering shore excursions - all by using their television remote control. The system has been so successful, that the shore excursions desk has been closed and all excursions are now booked through ITV.

You will still get the shore excursion form, but it is just so much easier to book through the TV. It gets charged through your S&S card, and your tickets get delivered to your stateroom the same way they would if you used the form.

 

On the Liberty they had the FunVision option, but the shore excursion desk was open sometimes as well.

We're taking our first Carnival cruise next month and I am shocked by the fact that you have to PAY for in room movies. Other cruise lines have free scheduled movies on the in room TV, even if they have a movie theater. Are you saying that Carinval charges for ALL in room movies or just movies on demand?

Well, that guy who made his whiny video asking for a free cruise said that while they were in rough seas, Carnival was showing "The Perfect Storm" in the cabins. It sounds like some movies are free.

 

Does every ship have this FunVision system?

The FunVision system has been active on most Carnival ships since I believe 2000. This interactive system lets you check your S&S account, order PVP movies, and several other things that I can't remember at this moment. Carnival has a full TV line-up that includes movies. You can order Adult movies and other newly released movies via the PVP screen just like on your home cable or sat system.

There are some free movies as well as regular TV stations in your room! We were seldom watching and I couldn't tell you what movies were playing when we cruised - I can watch TV at home! ;)

 

The free movies are usually movies that have just been released to DVD/VHS - not movies that are playing in the theaters.

RCCL has this in most of its fleet for years...............:rolleyes:

 

So has Carnival :rolleyes: :rolleyes: It's not on their older ships (similar to RCCL), but has been on their newer ships for years :rolleyes:

Thanks. My DDs like to take time to hang in the cabin with a movie and room service. They actually schedule it into their day. Since its our first Carnival cruise, I suspect that it may be movie and a pizza.

Still find it hard to believe that Princess has no interactive tv. Boggles the mind...people actually stand in long lines to check balances, reserve excursions, etc. Was hoping to see changes on the new Crown, but I don't think so.... :confused:

Has anyone ever ordered the adult movies on Carnival?

I'm asking for a...um...friend...

 

"Here's a little statistic that means a lot. In hotel rooms where pornography is available, two-thirds of all movie purchases are for pornos; and the average time they are watched is 12 minutes." :p - time magazine http://www.time.com/time/columnist/corliss/article/0,9565,1043267,00.html
