Anyone know if Carnival will be broadcasting the Olympics on the Seaside Theater?

Hope not, but if they do, shut off the sound.

lol

 

I have no idea, but think it would be cool to see there. Especially since it's winter Olympics. It may be nice to watch snowboarding while relaxing in the lido pool.

I know that for the last summer Olympics, they had an Olympic party for the opening ceremonies by the pool. They had the ceremony on the big screen but I do not recall seeing any of the actual sports.

I really hope they show the opening ceremony at least! I can skip the whole superbowl thing that week... but I'm an Olympics junkie and can't would LOVE to see the opening ceremonies under the stars on a ship.

+1 for olympics!

I'm betting they probably will show it. We were on Victory in 2010 and saw some of the winter games (US v Canada hockey). Also saw superbowl on big screen.

Not a fan of the olympics but im sure alot of people are.. If it was on it wouldnt bother me.. as long as the sound was off or not blarring

That might happen, but since there will be a good 5 or 6 hour time difference it isn't a really viable option for live coverage. All you'll get is recorded footage for the day. Besides, the US networks do a crappy job of covering the Olympics.

 

Vancouver 2010 winter games were covered by, CTV--I am Canadian. They had coverage from 7am to midnight every day. They broke for shortened morning and lunch news, and full evening news. US network coverage of the games was a joke....Your broadcasters only focus on US athletes, when CTV coverage showed the sport, no matter if a Canadian was in the event or not. They know that the country is made up of many nationalities, so showed just about everything!...US, uhm, nope....

 

If you want to watch the Olympics, you can watch them in the cabin on the TV, but coverage would start at around 5 or 6 in the morning...

I agree on our U.S. coverage - it's crap. I really wish NBC would finally lose that contract and give someone else a shot at some decent coverage. I'm still excited about hopefully seeing the opening ceremonies at sea, though.

 

Unless you're in the same time zone as the games, I can't remember ever having "live" feeds.... even as a young child watching. It was all tape delay even back then except for the few games held in the U.S. or Canada.
