Cruzin' Daddy Posted September 13, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Can someone please tell me if DVD players can be connected to the in-room televisions onboard the Sensation. It would be nice to fall asleep to a good movie while in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tef43 Posted September 13, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Why bother schleping electronic appliances? The in-cabin TVs show recent theatrical releases 24/7 for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomUsername723 Posted September 13, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Perhaps the poster wants to fall asleep to an obscure Scandinavian comedy or any other movie/ program that you wouldn't find Carnival airing on the shipboard TVs. :p I can imagine DVD players can be connected to the TVs- most of them seem to be pretty standard products and would probobly have A/V jacks. But then again, don't take my word on that- the TV's are bolted to the corner of the walls if memory serves me right. I could imagine security not being too happy about you bringing a DVD player onboard either, but why I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristikae Posted September 13, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2004 It seems that someone said the tv's don't have the jacks. I can't say for sure though. And for the record...I'll be schleping my portable dvd player with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbauknight Posted September 13, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2004 While I have seen some TV's with the AV jacks, like the Legend a few years back. (Connected the camcorder to it.) The Fantasy, which is the same class as Sensation, did not. I just got off that ship. Hope this helps. Hurricane Frances Cruise to Nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phroggie Posted September 13, 2004 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2004 On Ecstasy, I wanted to see if it was possible to unplug the TV. There was no easy (i.e. not requiring tools) access to the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted September 13, 2004 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I always travel with my laptop. Great to download pics from the digital camera and watch movies on the airplane. A great alternative to bringing a DVD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pungo3 Posted September 13, 2004 #8 Share Posted September 13, 2004 DH would never travel without his laptop. So, if I really wanted to watch a DVD, I could use that. However, I must say, I have never spent enough time in my cabin to watch a DVD. If I'm in my cabin, I'm asleep. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantw82cruise Posted September 13, 2004 #9 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I've taken my portable DVD player with me on the last couple of cruises (Pride, Miracle) Neither one of the TV's had any A/V jacks on the front or the back. I always travel with it, not to many TVs in hotels have the jacks either. They must make some special models just for hotels and such to keep the cost down?

biomedbob Posted September 13, 2004 #10 Share Posted September 13, 2004 On a recent Carnival cruise we had the grandkid and took the usual complete audio/video assortment along. Nothing short of removing all the surround cabinet would allow access to the input of the in-room tv. She wound up settling for the 9" display on her portable DVD player. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtx100 Posted September 14, 2004 #11 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Bring a portable DVD player. (7" & 10" very reasonably priced). They come with standard plug, car lighter plug and small recharg. battery pac. I brought mine to Tabyana Beach in Honduras. Watched "Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood" while sitting under a palm tree. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
