Halifax: Long Live Geeky Travel Statistics: "
What do you do when you're on a long flight with your own seatback TV and there's just nothing good playing? You turn on the 'Airshow' channel, of course. The Airshow is the station that alternates displaying your flight's route map with other geeky information like speed, altitude, miles to destination and outside temperature. Tell us you love Airshow too?
Well, we recently went on a Carnival cruise with some family and were so thrilled to find that not only does the cabin television have the usual bow and pool cams, but they also have a channel just like Airshow ('Seashow?'). At any given moment, without having to call Guest Services or check a TV in the main atrium, we could see our ship's location plotted on the ocean, check sunrise and sunset times, view how many nautical miles we've chugged through, and—our favorite feature—discover the sea's depth below us (usually between 250-150').
