Good information. I imagine it depends on the type and age of the TV in the cabin. Watching on a laptop is not the best experience, with it's limited audio capability.
Selecting the correct input from the TV menu isn't an option I was able to find on the Ruby, but these are likely older sets than the Enchanted.
Another less pressing item is the Captains and Cruise Directors announcements. It would be wonderful if Princess had a transcription of the announcements on
one of the channels... something that would scroll off in a day or so. I've missed many of these, and likely one or two were actually something I wish I hadn't missed.

On the Ruby last Nov, it was possible to switch inputs using the toggle switch at the bottom of the wall mounted TV. Similar to the Enchanted.

Obviously it's in Princess' interest to minimize the perks associated with a long cruise, but booking such a cruise as a series would yield significantly more rewards for a passenger.
Princess might want to rethink how that upsets passengers.
Not that I would ever be that interested in a world cruise but something tells me that pricing the complete trip as a series of trips would be significantly higher.

I would think that someone should have at least photoshopped the rust stains out of that photo.   ::)

"Susain Andruskin has booked the Princess Plus package on her world cruise for 2025. But it gets her just two casual dining meals in 113 days.

“We have booked the 2025 world cruise with the Plus Package, it’s 113 days, yet still only two casual dining meals, how fair is that? Surely it should be at least per sector?”

What’s making her angry is that someone booking a short cruise gets exactly the same."

"The next, not-to-be-missed total solar eclipse takes place on August 12, 2026, and once again a Princess cruise ship will be perfectly positioned, this time in northern Spain, to witness this bucket list event - two minutes and 18 seconds of totality. The 3,660-guest Sky Princess departs Southampton August 8, 2026, on a 14-day Mediterranean cruise, highlighted with total eclipse viewing while the ship is in its path at sea off the coast of Spain."

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)
