SumoChewie Posted June 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi, First time cruiser here. We'll be at sea on the Rotterdam this Sunday when USA plays Portugal. Is there a common area that has a tv on board? Would love to watch the match. I saw that CNN will be in our room...not sure about ESPN. Thanks in advance! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted June 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2014 You will have ESPN on your cabin TV. Have a great cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarR Posted June 17, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2014 They show the world cup matches from a channel called Sports 24. It's on your cabin TV (chan 39) and in the Mix bar, which has been turned into a world cup bar for the event. Some matches are also shown in the Crows nest. The midnight games were not listed on the daily program, but they may make an exception if USA or the Dutch are involved. Last night we had some short blackouts, because satellite reception was unstable near the arctic circle. Enjoy your Rotterdam cruise. Ps: expect a lot of orange ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately our game was on late so we watched it from our cabin. I had to keep quiet when Portugal scored the last 30 second goal. LOL We were ready to watch the US Germany game in the Crows nest. Unfortunately again, we were in Eidfjord and could not get a signal due to being in the fjords. Oh well. first world problem. :) Y'all are right. They showed the matches in Mix and in the Crows Nest. The Holland game was also shown in the Showroom at Sea. Apparently they passed out food in there also. Edited June 28, 2014 by SumoChewie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYteacher Posted June 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2014 We were on the Cunard Queen Mary II for the start of the World Cup. It was really fun to watch in the pub. A member of their sports staff was from Portugal and was truly funny in the way he led the contests they ran during the games. The contests were of the football trivia and predictor sort. Normally it is the activities staff who run these and are more, diplomatic shall we say? This guy would start questioning people "do you even watch football? This is the same quiz they gave to the five year olds upstairs..." I know this is a HAL board but I thought I'd chip in on the fun atmosphere aboard a European headed vessel during World Cup.
