PJB3 Posted February 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Where will the best place be to watch some games next month during our cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy3putts Posted February 21, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I've not been on Silhouette, but in 2014 they showed World Cup matches at Sunset Bar on the Reflection. Great spot to watch. I would imagine they'd do the same for March Madness. Otherwise try casino bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finabear Posted February 21, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2016 UConn Women's basketball fan here. They had a game scheduled on ESPN scheduled while on the Silly on December. I figured ESPN is ESPN right? Nope. Totally different programming. And yes, I remembered the time change. We had internet so I double-checked everything on the UConn site. I was so sad :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_tchr Posted February 21, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2016 March madness is tough until you get to the sweet sixteen as they obviously cannot have all the games on TV. You probably get 2 of the 8 channels for the first couple rounds. We found until the final 4 only in our room or at one of the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserloser99 Posted February 22, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I sailed on Silhouette in October. Sports could be found on the TVs in the casino (NFL Football) and also in the bar behind the main stairway on Deck 5 (Rugby/Soccer). NCAA Basketball might not always be available. One option might be to watch via streaming on your computer, but be warned -- internet speeds onboard are ridiculously slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cl.klink Posted February 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Not what you asked to hear, but I would not watch March Madness on a cruise, especially first week. The round the clock 10 am till late night nonstop games, streaming on line and on 4 TV channels so can watch everything, mandates having reliable cable/satellite TV and internet with no distractions. Last few years I've taken off work and check into a hotel. Hard to know how I could do this on a cruise. - Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJB3 Posted February 24, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted February 24, 2016 It should be in the middle of Sweet Sixteen so hopefully I'll find a tv somewhere on board with the games on. Sounds like the casino bar might be a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KKB Posted February 24, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 24, 2016 We were on the Star Princess in 07--we went into the closest thing they had to a sports bar (small pub). They were able to get the games for us--but it was a very very odd feed. The only audio we got was from the announcers box--we would hear their commentary, but also everything during commercials (which we didn't see) We have had issues seeing bowl games--I think we always got them eventually, but international ESPN is always more available/more likely. BUT if you ask (especially early in the week so they have time to investigate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
