    To the OP, back to the drawing board......Ron.

    I remember the days when over 125 people would form a circle around 4 people participating in the "bean bag challenge". I even commented on how the people were almost desperate for onboard entertainment. At least now the passengers have ratcheted up the entertainment quality with rubber duck hunts.

    That's what happens when a cruise line resorts to "bribing" passengers to book.

    I've sailed Oasis out of Cape Liberty 5 times over the past 3 Septembers and Octobers, and if there were 7 or 8 1:00 games, they had 6 on at Playmakers, and would show ALL late Sunday afternoon games each sailing. If you want to watch the most NFL/College football while sailing, sail on n RCI ship with a Playmakers onboard.

    Anthem only has the beer bar in the esplanade with 2 TVs. If you're on an RCL ship with a Playmakers included, you'll get to see pretty much all NFL games/

    NCL has been sailing year-round out of NYC for years......often times with 2 different ships and doing well. And RCL sails out of Bayonne year-round also. Doesn't appear those home ports are seasonal for them.

    No Packers/Eagles game on Friday, eh?

    Speaking of which....John Heald just posted of Carnival's dedication to showing both NFL and college football (all ESPN games and Sunday ticket). This week is the opening week in NCAAF. Can you post if they're showing them on your sailing? I'm on Pride in Sept and would like to belly up for some foots. TIA

    Then add in their Diamond-plus 5/day valued at $70/day. They'd have to swig down $171/day EACH just to break even. Good luck with that. (Not to mention the complimentary casino drinks they'd get)

    I had the same choice. I'm sailing the Symphony in October.
  11. jerseyjjs
    They show TNF Prime games, in your cabin, Playmakers, and English Pub. At least on Quantam and Oasis-class ships.

    I would say that, at over $1,200 p/p for an interior for a 3-night sailing, the booze cruisers would rather opt for cheaper ships. Since a large number of gamblers received comped/cheaper rates for Utopia in particular, the casinos will be mobbed.

    3 times from 2014-2016, my ex, who wasn't even gold, got her luggage hours before my platinum tags showed up.

    I think the water at South beach is a little on the murky side. Chill Island has clearer water.
  15. jerseyjjs
    As Carnival is basically handing out free cruises to bribe anyone who ventures into the casino. You're the one here who posts the most lamentations about the casino offers. Eats into your investments.
  16. jerseyjjs
    He approaches everything negative about Carnival as if it were a personal attack. Pay no mind.
  17. jerseyjjs
    I've only sailed from Baltimore on Carnival, which docks back in Baltimore at 10 am. I should've realized RCL comes in at a more usual 8 am.
  18. jerseyjjs
    Ah, I've only sailed Carnival out of Baltimore. Their return to the port of Baltimore isn't until 10 am. Hence the later hours.
  19. jerseyjjs
    They won't allow you into the lot at 10am. I've arrived at 11;00-11:15 and have had to sit in my car for an hour waiting.
  20. jerseyjjs
    You'll be the only ship in port, but the parking lot will be full. You'll have to wait in idle after entering until the disembarking passengers from the previous sailing drive off.
  21. jerseyjjs
    For $120 p/p, it's a none and done for me.
  22. jerseyjjs
    Carnival Ecstasy 1995. Paid for our entire trip with my winnings in the casino....Caribbean Stud Poker of all games.
  23. jerseyjjs
    They honored it in Playmakers on Oasis in Oct 2022 (came out to $5/pitcher). I was on the Oasis again, in Oct 2023, and they WOULDN'T allow it. Different bar manager I guess.
  24. jerseyjjs
    With the wide array of casino offers (we get plenty year round) and record quarterly earnings, you'd think one would tie the two together.
  25. jerseyjjs
    I'm looking at the Odyssey in December. Would one of the 2-top tables along the windows facing the main bar be the best spot for watching ALL the games? And, are the bathrooms as far from Playmakers as the deck plans indicate?
