Excellent picture quality even in bright sunlight.
During the day they were showing a variety of movies (not recent) like
Grease and Shrek. At night, they show more recent movies... the one I
watched in March was "I, Robot". The sound system is very good... loud,
theater-type sound at night during the features and lower volume during the
day so you can watch the movie if you wish but the sound isn't intrusive for
those who don't. I don't recall that it was on at all in the morning but I
could be wrong.
I think this is a great feature on a ship. I know... I didn't think it was
a very good idea when I first heard about it but after seeing it myself, I
have changed my mind. It is just another form of entertainment added to the
mix and I like it.

You haven't been to a ball game in a few decades, have you?
Teams have been using these things (like Diamond Vision, etc.) at ball parks
for years.

On deck if it rains do you not get very wet?

How does this prevent you from watching a movie?
Haven't you ever gone to the drive in with your date in the rain?

But, how did you watch movies in the rain? ;)
Back to the original issue:
If it rains during a football game, the jumbotron still works.

I did not go to the movies when it rained. If by chance I happened to be
there if it started to rain my date would put the windshield wipers in
gear. I never got out of the car. Ergo I never got wet from the rain.
Perhaps where you lived they had what they called a "drive in" but was
really a "walk in" where it was "Bring your own chair and park"

You never walked to the concession stand? And the window had to be
rolled down to hang the speaker.
I remember my aunt and uncle lived next to a drive in. They were
provided complimentary speakers, since the theater knew they'd be
watching anyways.
villa deauville
No. I never walked to a concession stand.
My date did that.
Speakers. Window was not open to the extent of rain being able to get
into the car.

And last time I looked, they used the radio to pipe in the sound.

As I recall the "drive-in" from 40 years ago, the sound came through the
"thingy" that you hung on the window, not through the radio.

Hope to meet you on the 11th in Bordentown, but till then.... re: the
"thingy" that you hung on the window was a speaker, but....at some
Drive-ins you turned your radio on and tuned in to the very end of the
dial and the sound came thru the radio. And since I am from the Phila
area I do believe it was at one of the Drive-ins near by. Give me time
and I'll remember, better yet, will contact some of the people who went
with me and see what they remember.
I do remember that the management had to have a battery charger to jump
start some of the cars.
Let me think about this, give me time, I'll remember...............

Kate,
2 drive ins that come to mind are the Andalusia and the Lincoln. Either of
those ring a bell? I am also from the Philly area. Have you ever posted on
CruiseCritic on the Philly cruisers thread? Someone from the Downingtown
area did. Just curious.

I was thinking of maybe the Atco or Pennsauken but also trying to think
of maybe the Tacony? Since I visited more than these 3 and the 2 you
mentioned the one on Delsey Drive in Pittman/Glassboro area also comes
to mind as does one or two around Quakertown and the one in Vineland,.
And, Bill, no it isn't me posting to the cruise critic Phila area
cruises page, I am now living in Bensalem (born and raised in Phila -
go Panthers - Mastbaum Voc Tech) . Traveled around with an Army Spouse
for 20+ years but the only Drive-in the two of us went to was the one
in Vineland NJ.
It'll come to me......................BTW will we see you at the lunch
at the restaurant June 11th in Boardentown????

Pennsauken/Camden, NJ. - I know there was one on the White Horse Pike in
Atco. I had been to them all.

Our drive-in of choice was in Maple Shade, NJ, and I honestly do not
remember ever using the car radio as the sound source.
I am looking forward to discussing it with you on the 11th of June.

Bridge, and another just east of the Pennsauken Mart, but for us the "great
babysitter" was the one in Maple Shade across the road from Matlack's Dairy
Bar, the area's bestest ice cream parlor.
Sadly, the technology of the 60's paled against today's, and a drive-in was
only effective in the winter when it got dark early.
