BallFour4 Posted January 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Over dinner we were speculating what events and where the viewing options were for the Super Bowl. Specifically we were interested in the Magic, wondered if they would continue with the traditional Welcome Aboard Show or show the game instead. Since it's a late afternoon start would any of the pre-game show be on the big screen on the lido deck? Let me know if you've cruised in recent years and what your experiences were. .

Micahs Grandad Posted January 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2016 They will show the game around the ship including main lounge. Will have bar food at main lounge so you dont have to leave for food. and of course will be selling drink there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncurcio Posted January 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I cruised last year during the Super Bowl and loved it. Sunday was the final day of the cruise and the game was shown everywhere. This year my cruise leaves on Sunday and I have read not to expect nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising nole fan Posted January 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2016 We take a cruise every year that coincides with super bowl. Carnival does it the best out of the major cruise lines we have been on. RC and princess were not enjoyable at all. They showed the game everywhere but that was about it. Really missing a lot of opportunity to generate revenue for their bottom lines. But Carnival does it right, lots of decorations, lots of great game day food, tons of drink specials. They even had party favors and were taking photos throughout the party. But being a gambler, I loved the fact that were taking prop bets through the casino as well as offering the super bowl pool squares game. Needless to say we are booked on the Valor leaving the Saturday before super bowl. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHilla619 Posted January 25, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I was on the Fantasy during the College Football Playoff Semi's, and it was very enjoyable. They had the game on the big screen on Lido, and on every TV at the bar. And a certain bar was the viewing section and had the flags up for all 4 teams. Would love to be on board for the Super Bowl!

BJzink Posted January 25, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 25, 2016 We are on the Miracle "Journey" cruise to the Mexican Pacific Coast. We are from Colorado, so are really big fans of the Broncos since 1974. Bringing our flag, t-shirts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrqoisWtrs Posted January 26, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 26, 2016 wonder if they will change formal night if not rather watch a good game vs formal night.. lol Our formal night on the Glory also coincided with SuperBowl Sunday. We just found out they are moving formal night to the 8th. Sounds like a plan - no need to waste all those dinners with an empty dining room.

tncap Posted January 27, 2016 #16 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I was on the Dream for it last year. Recommend going directly from muster to Lido to snag a good seat if you plan to watch it on the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyZ Posted January 27, 2016 #17 Share Posted January 27, 2016 NFL is fixed so what's the point (Vegas and NFL never lose). Even though the Panthers should dominate, Peyton will be allowed to win with the Broncos and retire a winner. And in return, the Patriots and Brady will be allowed to win in next year. Put your money on it and you will win __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they do squares and prop bets, but I am thinking they won't be able to with the game starting so soon after embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know if it will be changed on the Splendor too. Elegant night will be on the second night (first sea day) of our cruise. they never have it on the first night, since a lot of people dont have their luggage yet.

NoDayButToday Posted January 27, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 27, 2016 For anyone else on the Conquest, I asked John early this morning about our formal night as well. Conquest's formal night will also be on the 8th. I'm mildly curious to see how many people actually go to standard dinner seatings that night. I'm personally undecided on if we will-I suspect since we are late dining it will depend on how close or good the game is since no one in our group is truly a fan of either team this year.

We will also be on the Conquest and am glad to hear that the first formal night will be on the 8th. I am sure the guys in our group of eight will skip dinner in the dining room if the game is entertaining. We have any time dining so we still have some options.

Dani41 Posted January 27, 2016 #23 Share Posted January 27, 2016 We were on the Ecstasy in 2014 for the Super Bowl and booked our cruise next year on the Triumph specifically for the Super Bowl again. It was like a big party the last time...the entire cruise. We had a great time. That's why we are doing it all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish12345 Posted January 28, 2016 #25 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I am also curious as what will happen to dinner in the MDR. I can't imagine many people would show.. I have never missed a dinner in the MDR but this time I will be wherever the game is. Go Panthers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
