I like to watch a tv program/movie now and then on a cruise when I need a break from all the festivities or just to unwind before bedtime. I have not been impressed with the TV programs/movies available but do enjoy many of the helpful features Carnival provides via TV.

If you have a Netflix account and an iPad/iPhone or computer with Win 10 you can download (at home) using your wifi some programs that will be available when you cruise (some must be viewed within 48 hours or up to a month). I am also told there is no limit (except for your memory limits) but I think 2 or 3 will suffice for me. You do have to install an app first. You will not be using the internet but you must be signed in to your account. As long as you haven't logged off your account you are good to go. I asked that question.

Unplug you will enjoy it more. But that is a great suggestion for those who are addicted. My enjoyment is sitting on my balcony rain or shine watching the ocean 24/7. Beats Netflix and day of the week.

That's a good idea - pre-download videos to watch on the cruise. I think if you tried to live stream without the prior download it may be a problem. Bandwidth on a cruise ship is limited and expensive. They may even block it, not sure.

I did just that in June of 2017. I was in need of entertainment on a plane from Europe, worked like a charm. Downloaded in Paris and laughed the enter way home watching Kimmy Smitt! I understand that Netflix just started allowing downloads in late May, great timing on my part. I still need to finish ONB, so my pending cruise will be a binge fest, sometime during the 7 days.

I have Amazon Prime and do this for when I am in places where I cannot get wi-fi... like car trips. Just finished the series Suits this way, planning on picking up another series soon. I think there is a limit of number of programs .. 15 or so at a time.

YES! I'm the OP and I wondered how many posts were going to tell me to uplug in spite of me explaining very thoroughly how much I as going to enjoy my cruise and simply asking if anyone else had tried Netflix on the cruise. That's one of the reasons I didn't even mention I was going to get the Value wifi pkg too but not for streaming! Thanks for responding! On the other hand once I responded to a Cheers thread with "Ask your doctor if the Cheers pkg is right for you" and boy did I get it. What goes around comes around I guess:halo:

Even the most expensive internet plan doesn't allow for streaming (and it was spotty anyway for skype calls depending on where we were), so the only thing is to pre download what you want and then watch it without internet needed.

I much rather sit back and watch a movie I have not been able to see since i been so busy working and going to school and raising a family than sitting on a balcony - I can't stand sitting on a balcony

For Amazon - If you have the Amazon Prime Video app you are able to download either movies you own or some prime shows will let you download - It only downloads it to the prime video app which is where you would watch it at - its not like you can download it to your computer and burn it to a DVD

Yes, I do this all the time either for plane trips or cruises and it works great. Not all movies are available though, usually the older ones are available for download but it's still a good selection. Lots of TV shows as well. Good luck.

Royal Caribbean already offers a stream plan that works with Netflix and no need for an 800 mile cable. They actually advertise that you can watch Netflix right on the Voom page. So no need to wait and see who is first, it already exists on the entire Royal fleet.

iPad is not compatible with FireWire. I have not heard of a FireWire to HDMI adapter. I can see by your profile that you are using an iPad Pro 11-inch which has a USB-C port. You will need a USB-C to HDMI adapter.

Is the standard wire connector not called lightning? I don't believe is USB my iPad is about 3 years old. The adapter I have says it is lightning to HDMI and it definitely fits in my iPad. Sorry to not be so technical but Im old and a carpenter not a computer tech which I why I asked the question in the first place

With the adapter plugged into the iPad, you can try a hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.

thank you for your answers. I have watched every Youtube video on the planet and they all look so easy but nothing seems to work for me. The best I've gotten is a pixelated or different colors on screen. I will try your hard restart suggestion. I have tried turning iPad on after plugging in to TV but that didn't work either

I don't know to be perfectly honest, I don't think I ever looked. Pretty sure it was the first year they made the iPad with four speakers. I am at work and can't look to answer your question Does that make a difference? Thanks

I have tried it numerous ways If I don't connect the power into the adapter I just get a black screen. When I plug power in I get a pixelated screen that keeps changing colors but no picture. Doesn't seem to matter if I plug into TV first or adapter first. I thought it was a Netflix filter of some kind at first but it does it with Prime and downloaded movies and even before I even try to stream a movie

It is actually the second one and I bought it from Amazon. The first one I bought did what this one is doing and I thought that's what it was so I bought another one that was the most highest rated one. If the genuine Apple one would definitely work I would buy it in a heartbeat even though it is expensive but at this point not sure it will make a difference Do think thats a possibility?

I went and bought a genuine Apple adapter as you suggested and voila it came right up. hard to believe that there is that much difference but you were spot on. Let me just say thank you, thank you, thank you for taking your time to help me figure out my issues. If you are ever in SE Pennsylvania hit me up I'd love to buy you a beer. THANKS!! Steve

I've never heard of Rocketfish cable but google search shows that it's just an HDMI cable. Did you switch (your TV remote) to HDMI input channel that corresponds to the correct HDMI input on the TV? Did you try plugging the cable into different HDMI input on the TV? Before it fails, did you change anything such as upgrading iOS, upgrading Netflix app or changing cable etc?

You can also use AirPlay to send the video to an Apple TV through your wireless network, although the Apple TV also has the Netflix app installed. Even then the Apple TV is a good addition to your home theatre for streaming other content off the iPad, iPhones, computer or video rentals for iTunes.

I've got an HDMI cable which normally transmits what I'm seeing on my iPad screen to my TV except when I try and play a Netflix movie I get a message (on the IPad) saying "Cannot Play Video - The connected display is not supported."

Thanks for quick reply. Is it possible my TV is just too old (2011) for this new technology (for e.g. it's not HDCP compliant - whatever that means)? If so, is using a Chromecast likely to produce any different result do you think?

I don't know what TV you're using. I got my LCD TV in 2009, older than yours but it works fine. As long as you have an HDMI input, you can use Chromecast device. Best part of it is the cost. I got mine for about twenty bucks.

II've been streaming Netflix through my iPad for awhile successfully. I have the cable. However now somethings not connecting...get message on tv "no signal". Could this be my settings on my tv remote? I it on component to Netflix. Sorry, not very technical. Any suggestions appreciated.

A friend put a Rocketfish cable on back of my Samsung tv and I plug that into my ipad2. I change the settings on my tv remote and its always worked well. Now I get a signal on tv "no signal". I can watch netflix on my ipad but it won't stream through to my tv.

With everything. plugged in, have you tried doing a hard reset of your iPad by holding down the. Home and sleep buttons simultaneously until the screen turns black and the Apple Logo appears and then let go of the buttons?

yes, I changed tv remote settings to component as the cable has several wires. Always worked before. Now just get "no signal"....it's like there's no connection. Netflix works just fine on my iPad but it doesn't stream to tv.
