Football game question

[keithm]

On the silhouette leaving on a Sunday from ft lauderdale. Where would they broadcast the Dolphins game, if at all?

I always love reading this... Someone's going on a fantastic cruise & all they seem to care about is a football game! I mean really!

I wouldn't count on them having a buffet or food set up in the theater as they have eliminated most self serve venues. They no longer have brunch or the self serve buffet for the Elite breakfast for so called sanitary reasons such as there is no sneeze guard, there is carpeting and it is too hard to keep clean and etc.

 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

:rolleyes: Count me in as one of those people. "All" is a pretty encompassing description. Its three hours out of 200 in an 8 day cruise, hardly more than what some people spend in the dining room each night, eating a meal they get to eat 365 nights a year.

 

I mean really!:D

On the TV in your cabin is the most likely place.

 

nope. rarely are the games on the TV channels. at best the Bars may have it.

We were on millennium in Asia last month, they had ESPN and ESPN2 in the cabin which showed a lot of football games live, also showed soccer from various leagues along with champions league soccer. All of these games were shown live

I do NOT know why people keep repeating this because it is WRONG. If the game is airing in the casino bar or Celebrity Central it is also on the same channel in the cabins. I speak from experience as I have NEVER had an issue watching football in my state room.

 

Celebrity does NOT create a special channel when they air the games. They use one already available. The only question is which games they will air. Not all are available.

Last year they had the game in the theater. True it was mobbed. It just my partner & I had so much of the ship to ourselves.

We are sailing on Reflection in the Caribbean during the holiday period. Any guesses or answers as to catching college football on TV? Anyone recall from past experience?

 

Thanks.

[TourDeCruise]

We will be showing 2 games every Sunday, as well as the Sunday and Monday night games. They will be available in the casino bar, as well as possibly other venues.

 

Thank you, Celebrity, for responding.

 

We have been on Celebrity cruises during college football season and have seen some of the college games on TV in the cabin. Do you expect we might have college football on TV on Saturday, November 29th on the Eclipse which is a sea day in between Bonaire and St. Lucia? We are hoping to watch the Ohio State-Michigan game.

 

Thanks!

Good for you Capecruzer for responding to an uncalled for remark. Who are others to judge what you like to do, whether on a cruise or not. Sometimes I wonder why people feel compelled to criticize others on these boards. Mind your own business and keep your sarcastic comments to yourselves.:rolleyes:

Have some drinks and watch a bunch of football. Sounds like an excellent vacation to me. :)

Thank you so much for your enlightened, constructive insights. I was not previously aware that I needed it, but it would be very helpful to me (and others cruising on Celebrity) if you could publish your list of approved activities that meet your standard for worthwhile things to do while on a "fantastic cruise". I’m sure I could get the list by writing to Sen. Joe McCarthy, but it would be easier if you just published it.

 

I’m preparing to tell my son travelling with us on a family cruise that he cannot watch college football, one of his true passions. Instead of spending the morning and a part of the afternoon by the pool before he hopefully watches a key match-up or bowl game, he now has to spend the whole day by the pool. But - it’s for his own good – he just does not know it, but he will enjoy the fantastic cruise more if he puts aside all his personal interests and passions not on your approved list. If he asks me what does it mean to “on a fantastic cruise” what should I tell him? No college sports or DVDs or music because they would interfere with his enjoyment of the cruise. How about casinos – we have casinos near where we live and we can go there any time? How about the shows – we have theater in Philadelphia and New York – no reason to subtract from our enjoyment of the fantastic cruise by spending time on activities that can be done on land.

 

I’m a lost soul. Among the many reasons I enjoy cruising is the opportunity to meet people with divergent backgrounds and interests. Wow, I am wrong. Among the 3,000+ people on Reflection will be others who enjoy college athletics, people who spend some of their time on the computer while at sea, and people who spend time in the casinos. Help me, as I clearly don’t want to be their friend. Maybe I could help you by drafting a letter to Michael Bayless telling him that Celebrity needs to remove all the TVs, slot machines and computers so that Celebrity customers can enjoy their fantastic cruise. I don’t think Celebrity’s CEO understands that!

 

Can you tell - I found your simple comment to be totally misplaced and offensive to anyone who might have an interest that you do not share. Perhaps a simple comment from a simple mind!

Like I said,really! was that TOO critical for you?? Grow a thicker skin!

Just as yours is a long but simple comment from a smaller mind! I'm amazed that you people got SO bent out of shape about an observation. In no part did I insult the person, or tell them what they can & can't do. I just find it all so amusing! I do find the whole thing about the sports events rather amusing. Seems a lot of you people can't take a sarcastic bit of humor.

Believe me, I can take a lot more criticism than that remark and anything else you could dish out. It was just uncalled for but some people just like to criticize others. Good luck to you.:rolleyes:
