AlayneR Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Hello, My BFF and I are sailing 10/17 on Empress of the Seas and I’m wondering if anyone knows if the television on Empress has HDMI ports that are accessible. We love to crash late at night and watch horror movies Edited October 9, 2019 by AlayneR grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG Cruiser Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Don’t know about the Empress but I looked at the back on my TV of the Ovation. I couldn’t find an available HDMI port. There was a plate covering the part with all the ports. I did not tinker with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 My JS experience on Empress: On Empress the flat panel is not integrated with the ship (can’t order room service through the TV). It’s an HDTV with a plain remote control. This means you can use the HDMI input very easily. The flat panels were replaced as part of the 2016 refresh so they are decent compared to Majesty where they are the 1950’s version of what someone though HDTV might be like in 2019. In November I’ll be in a standard cabin on Empress. I’ll see if non-suite cabins have the same. SpeedNoodles and The Cruise Junkie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrznTxn Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 On some ships the additional HDMI ports are available but the remote does not have an option to switch input ports. My son has a universal remote (Walmart special) he brings that allows him to switch the inputs so he can play his video games as the TV's are standard name brand HDTV's.

Danielle OG Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I would like to do this as well. BF and I don't drink, and don't care for the bar/club scene. So heading back to our room to watch a movie or read a book is right up our alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
