gliles Posted August 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Is there any chance the Rhapsody leaving from Venice will be showing the first US Presidential Debate on board on 9/26? I realize live it would be 3am...but it should be entertaining. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never done the med. Do they carry CNNI (international) on ships over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted August 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I suppose it's possible but doubt you can get any definitive answer here. Personally the last thing I'd want to do on vacation is watch any political debate....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goes Cruising Posted August 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I am interested in the debate, but I also will be sailing in the Med during the 1st debate. There is no way I want to get into a political argument on a ship. Somebody might have to go overboard :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many nice people have exact opposite views, I don't want to know their thoughts, I'll form my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseathoning Posted August 23, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) why we opted not to cruise until next year-election season. Perfectly normal people start frothing at the mouth. I want politics absolutely nowhere near our cruise, period. Edited August 23, 2016 by Cruiseathoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many nice people have exact opposite views, I don't want to know their thoughts, I'll form my own. It does blow my mind how people I know and respect can have political views that are polar opposite of mine. Politics is a subject I choose to never discuss in polite company :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolosmom Posted August 23, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 23, 2016 We did Celebrity in the Med - not sure if RC carries the same stations, but they had 1 or 2 international news channels, I'm not sure if the international channels would show them or not. I can't remember if any of the channels were US based (i.e. CNN international) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way I want to get into a political argument on a ship. Somebody might have to go overboard :rolleyes: Had two people constantly debating politics in the hot tub in the Solarium on Radiance last May, got to the point where if we saw either of them in the Solarium we just went to a different pool, or grabbed a snack at Windjammer and waited a while before coming back.

ATC cruiser Posted August 23, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm cruising on Liberty the week of the election, specifically so I don't have to watch the returns. And depending who wins, maybe I'll just jump ship and stay in the Caymans. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalklandIslander Posted August 23, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I might watch the debates if Gary Johnson will be included, but a Corrupt vs Crazy debate is not interesting to me. Even if Gary Johnson will be included, I would probably rather watch the debate later, after returning home, rather than live onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiGal117 Posted August 23, 2016 #14 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) My guess would be a big fat no - most people on board are not Americans and really want to avoid the embarrassment (was that too political??!![emoji33][emoji33]) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Edited August 23, 2016 by KiwiGal117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCollarCruiser Posted August 23, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 23, 2016 There is no movie, show, or other programming they could show on the TV that would be more entertaining than these debates will be. I don't care if it is a King of Queens in German, Brooklyn 99 in Spanish, or Brooklyn 99 in Chinese. These will be the most amazing spectacles anyone will have ever seen. It will be a shame if people on board miss out. They air MUCH less interesting things on the ships all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted August 23, 2016 #19 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Earlier I saw 'The Progressive Quiz' post and thought, "Here we go!" :D That is funny. If the OP wants to watch it, I hope they get the chance. There has been a few threads in the last years where people have tried to bring up politics at the dining room table. Fortunately I haven't had that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I have a drink package so that'll work! Thanks everyone, I didn't want to start a political discussion here, I truly just wondered because I do want to see it. I guess I could do the stream but another $40 for the Internet for that, eh...I'll have to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Dancer Posted September 9, 2016 #22 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Gretchen, if the ship carries CNN or CNNI it most likely will and I'm sure you can catch up on the morning news or a full repeat. I don't care for your pancake statement. I've known my DH since 5th grade and we married at 19..........way too young, but here it is 47 years later and he is definetly a keeper. Not all 1st marriages go sour. La La, Laura, I see you changed your pic, is that your parents? Nice pic if it is :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnamac123 Posted September 9, 2016 #25 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The election is the one negative I'm anticipating on my Nov 5-12 cruise on FOS. I hope there aren't any drunken arguments as soon as the winner is announced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
