I don't think that you can rent VCRs on board. I do know that the category 1, 2, and 3 suites have them, but the standard rooms do not. I'm not sure of the feasibility of bringing one on board. The stateroom TVs do have all sorts of programming, including animated Disney movies, showing all during the trip. This might do the job and would be much easier than lugging a VCR on board.
