With apps like Netflix<\/a> and Amazon Prime<\/a> facilitating access to thousands of movies and TV shows, if you are anything like us, you probably download a whole bunch onto a smartphone or tablet before your cruise. It\u2019s so much better to watch on the bigger screen TV in your stateroom though than on the small tablet or phone screen.

For us, I typically download a heap of movies and TV shows onto an iPad because it has a bigger screen than my iPhone. The iPad screen is bigger so it is more convenient for wifey and I to both watch and it doesn\u2019t use space on my phone that I might otherwise be using to take photos and videos.

So, the question is, can you actually plug an iPad, smartphone or other tablet into the stateroom TV on Golden Princess and play your own content?<\/p>\n

The short answer is yes.<\/p>\n

How?<\/h3>\n

For Apple devices like your iPhone or iPad, you will need a Lightning to HDMI adapter like the official one from Apple<\/a>, or a cheaper alternative like one of these ones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For Android smartphones and tablets you will need to pick up the appropriate USB to HDMI adapter<\/a> based on what kind of USB port your device has.<\/p>\n
