I thought about using the cabin tv for a laptop, and thought unplugging the TV from the network cable would be a good start. Not sure if the wall mounted sets have hdmi ports or not.

I'm not sure about the Sun but the Enchanted definitely does. You don't have to disconnect it from the network but just switch the TV input to HDMI.
The hardest part is to get your hand behind the TV to plug in the cable.
I use it for my movies fed directly from a hard drive. (M4V format)

Sun Princess Chatter / Old timers can stream Netflix on the Sun Princess
« Last post by Host Mike on May 02, 2024, 03:10:08 PM »
"Thankfully, the Sun Princess is equipped with Elon Musk’s magical internet and this enabled us to join video meetings but also upload to social media, stream Netflix and more; this was a pleasant surprise. While the younger generation gets a lot of stick for being glued to their phones, a quick look around the ship showed that even the older generation loved the enhanced connectivity with phones and tablets in hand everywhere. Whether for solitaire or scrolling, it’s a welcomed addition."
