glow07 Posted January 4, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'm an Auburn grad and I booked my cruise before the start of the college football season. Is there any chance that the game will be shown? I've never been that obnoxious fan at sea and would really like the opportunistic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert & Debra Posted January 4, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2011 On the cruises I have been on the ESPN games have always been on. I was on a Carnival cruise for the South Carolina game this year and they didn't have that game because they had the west coast feed so we got some pac 10 game but I did bring my XM radio so we had a crowd of Auburn fans listening to the game out on the deck. It was a lot of fun. Have fun and WAR EAGLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welovetokruze Posted January 4, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2011 ESPN shows games of national importance on board ships. I am sure that the National Championship game will be shown. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experienced the same thing iover Thanksgiving with the AU / ALA game. They did not show it because it was on CBS and they do not get the satellite feed. ESPN is available and they will either have the game on the cabin TV system, in the casino bar, or will air it in the theatre (which they do for big games). War Eagle!

Rare silentbob007 Posted January 4, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 4, 2011 It is ESPN international, so not like th feed here in the states. I'm sure that the ship will show the national championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianAlt Posted January 4, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Agreed, almost 100% chance they will be showing the game on board. I was watching the NCCA Basketball Tourney on board one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissymaryuk Posted January 5, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2011 The ship's video techs will go out of their way to get any big sporting events. If it's not on it'll either be a satellite or a rights issue. Last year on VY they had the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
