Beyondthe7Seas Posted August 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hi everyone, We will be sailing on the 2/7 B2B Caribbean itinerary on the Eurodam. Since we are departing on Super Bowl Sunday, we were wondering what kind of festivities they have on board for this event? We're especially looking forward to the game since the Packers have been projected to play in Super Bowl 50. . . ;) Thank you for any insights.

sail7seas Posted August 8, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2015 HAL always runs a fun super bowl party assuming they can pull down the satellite signal. We have been aboard several times and they show the game in Show Lounge, sometimes Crows Nest, Sports Bar and on cabin TV's. They have balloons and game day snacks and it is great. However, seeing it is embarkation day for you, I can't speak to how much they will be able to do. It is always so busy what with all the luggage, getting everyone settled in, staff working special jobs in addition to their usual duties and life boat drill. Perhaps someone who has boarded on Super Bowl Sunday can fill in that blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expectGREATthings Posted August 8, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'd say don't worry. On our last cruise which departed on a Suberbowl Sunday they showed the game and had a lot of fun activities. There was a full tailgate dinner in the showroom and various drink packages available from buckets of beer to an all you can drink deal at special pricing some even came with VIP lounge chair seating as well. There were also some themed sheet cakes and lots of decorations. Being as it's a Florida departure satellite reception should be no problem. The satellite feed probably won't include the commercials we all love however you can watch them when you get home on you tube. As far as departure day duties for the crew it's all pretty much over by game time no problems there. So in closing I say GO PACK GO!!!!! and see you onboard as my Wife and I will be sailing on the Eurodam for the Superbowl as well. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardboy Posted August 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2015 They usually have it on the big auditorium as well as in a smaller venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ptu/000 Posted August 8, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2015 We boarded the Eurodam last year on Super Bowl Sunday. We watched the game and had a before dinner drink in the Sports Bar. We left when it was time for dinner in the MDR as we wanted to meet our table mates and enjoy the roast beef. Went to our cabin after dinner and saw the end of the game. I just looked at my On Location and see that at 5:30 there was a Pre-Party in the show lounge. 6:30 Kick-Off was scheduled. The On Location says: Cheer on your favorite team, enjoy snacks prepared by our chefs, and beer bucket specials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ptu/000 Posted August 8, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I also see in my On Location that The Screening Room has VIP seating. The VIP package includes unlimited drinks for the duration of the game, food, butler service and a Holland America Line souvenir glass. Cost $79.95pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth I hate to burst your bubble but for the Packers to get to the Super Bowl they would have to beat the Seahawks and that's not going to happen =P I was wondering if anyone knows whether they do anything for the games during the regular season, as I am leaving on the first sunday of the NFL season this year?

Krazy Kruizers Posted August 8, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2015 We left Ft Lauderdale one time on Super Bowl Sunday and they could not get reception to show the game until we were out to sea. Another time, no problems -- they had a big screen in the Queen's Lounge, shown on TV, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expectGREATthings Posted August 9, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 9, 2015 The Seahawks are a great team but now that they have to start paying Wilson what he deserves we shall see what we shall see. Or you could say this year we'll see what we shall see at sea:). I wish good luck and good health to all the teams in the NFL for the 2015/season. May the best team win it all whoever that may be.

Hey now -- just remember you have us to thank for your last Super Bowl appearance. Had it not been for Green Bay's epic letdown in the last 10 minutes of the NFC championship game, the Seahawks would have been watching from home. . . :) Thanks for all of the insights everyone, I really appreciate it.

syesmar Posted August 9, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 9, 2015 On a related note, could anyone who's recently sailed in Europe tell me if they have ESPN in the staterooms? I want to think they did last summer, just curious about now. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expectGREATthings Posted August 9, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Amen to that. The Patriots know how to win. A lot of things have to go right just to get into the Superbowl winning is the frosting on the cake. I'm getting pretty excited for the upcoming season.

FredT Posted August 9, 2015 #20 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hmmm.... Super bowl. 9 am in Christchurch NZ. So do we book a shore excursion or dont we? Will the Pats repeat? (In other words is all of this SO pi##ing Brady off that he will be playing with a giant chip on his shoulder? :D ) Gonna be interesting. (But with a 9am kickoff can we start early with the beer and not be considered lushes? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted August 10, 2015 #21 Share Posted August 10, 2015 We're looking at a cruise that would have us at sea on Super Bowl Sunday. I think the VIP package is overpriced, but I've told DH that if the Giants are in the Superbowl, we'll buy the package.
