Discovery Princess TV - HDMI Connect Your Device

Are you sailing on the Discovery Princess in the future and want to connect your device (laptop, tablet or phone) to the TV? We figured it out. You will need to purchase a universal TV remote from Amazon and bring your own HDMI cable. The TV brand in our mini-suite was LG.

I'm very happy that there is now a way to watch my own content on Discovery Princess!

This Indeed works on my princess cruise as of the end of 2023

Thanks so much @awadisfamilyshorts for the confirmation! We sailed three times on the Discovery and this worked for us.

Thanks for the video. Only comment I have is you do not need to go to the Bridge Cam channel. Any live TV station will work.

Thanks for the info. We had problems with the TV reverting back to one of the other live channels when we did not start on the bridge cam on the Majestic last week. It might have been an isolated incident with the TV.

@@Techwizardress That happened to me most times. It took two tries to get it to stay on the HDMI port. It always stayed after the second try. Interesting that you didn't have the issue on the Bridge Cam channel.
Thanks again for the video. It should help a lot of cruisers.

Thanks!? Saw similar videos. One person was able to access the source menu from the bottom of the TV, no remote needed. Wondering if this still works? Additional tip was to unplug the LAN cable. Not sure of the reason. Either it (LAN) gets priority or maybe that’s how Princess monitors and declines access to people wanting to use the HDMI hack?

Thanks for your comment. No, there is not a button on the bottom of the TVs on the Discovery. The TVs on the Majestic do have that button you are referring to. We were on the Majestic again (third time for us) in September 2023. While you can use the button, it is more convenient to use the remote. That remote has worked on both the Discovery and Majestic for us. No a bad investment for less than $10 US.
