flashdog_1 Posted October 31, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2005 There was none on Summit last Thanksgiving. One of our cruise critic friends in a suite went on line to find out who won in some college ball for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constantcruiser Posted November 1, 2005 #3 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Please NO football on Thanksgiving cruises. For several years, DD's & I have left our DH's & DS's at home to eat turkey sandwiches and watch marathon football on Thanksgiving weekend, while we go away to avoid it. This year we're taking a 4-night cruise on the Zenith and don't even want to hear the scores much less watch the games! It works beautifully -- after several days of spa treatments & gourmet cuisine, the gals are ready to come home & cook. And the guys have spent so much time in their recliners glued to the TV that they're willing to get up and help. Then we can all enjoy a "traditional" Thanksgiving together the next weekend!

Cauvet Posted November 1, 2005 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2005 The last cruise we were on only got ESPN in the sports bar and I don't think any of the TG games are broadcast on ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted November 1, 2005 #6 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hi, the Turkey Day games are on FOX and CBS. If the Cruiseline pays the $$$ to pick up the feed then they can be shown. I was on CENTURY back in January 2004 and it was the weeked of the NFL playoffs.....now, those games were shown. I remember there was a group from Philly on the ship. They were celebrating a friend's 50th birthday and took up the whole sports bar;) (almost). It was the Carolina/Philly game. Now that sports bar will no long be on Century after they finish her major drydock in the spring of 2006. It was called Images. It is being turned into a large Martini Bar.

kitty9 Posted November 2, 2005 #7 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Playoff games are shown on ESPN International on the cruise ships. If any game is on ESPN or ESPN I, then you will get to see the games. But since NFL football is on Fox and CBS, you're not going to see the games. You haven't lived until you see the Super Bowl in Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJGUY2 Posted November 2, 2005 #8 Share Posted November 2, 2005 you people don't read. i'm telling you i've been on the century and connie the past 4 years. both ships had live feeds of both games each year we were on the ship!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelker Posted November 2, 2005 #9 Share Posted November 2, 2005 We'll be there too . . . Go Broncos!! (whoooo-hooooo) Can DH pull off wearing orange. blue, and white with his tux??!! :>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheelmjfan Posted November 2, 2005 #10 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I asked the same question on our Century roll call & was told that we should be able to see the games in Images. My DH & I are both sports fans & enjoy watching football together. A Thanksgiving w/o football would seem odd to us. Turkey Day will be a sea day for us, so we'll have a perfect opportunity to catch the games. It won't make or break the cruise, but will be nice to be able to see the games. Now, I'll just have to tape the Macy's parade, so I don't miss anything. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdbaum Posted November 2, 2005 #11 Share Posted November 2, 2005 If you were on Millie then you might possibly catch games in the sports bar. Your options are fewer on the other ships. Celebrity has on occasion shown games in the theatre on M class ships and these were regular network broadcasts. It's a very odd feeling to be watching a snowy winter game in the theatre and then go out and be in the warm carribean weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Arizona Posted November 6, 2005 Author #12 Share Posted November 6, 2005 This will be our first time on Infity. T-Gving is a sea day. Do you think I need to keep my DH OTHER Wise entertained, or will we have a good chance of football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted November 6, 2005 #13 Share Posted November 6, 2005 we've been on the century and the connie for the last 4 years. i'm going again this thanksgiving on connie. there has always been football games on the ship. one of the sports bars will have it. get there early you won't be able to find a seat I am really surprised to hear this: we were on the Connie 2 years ago for turkey day and there was no football at all, or if there was we sure missed it. For DH and DSIL not to find a footballl game is a real shocker. NMnita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted November 7, 2005 #17 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Near Boulder..... how about you?Ditto. Was Niwot, now NE Longmont. To prove just how small the world is, we were just on a river cruise in Germany. Surprise ... Two people we'd known for years from Niwot were on the boat with us. Never discussed it with them. Total pax, 87. What were the odds? Hey, I LIKE the #7 on the back - I could get some orange tape and ..... yeah, that's a GREAT idea!! :DI do recall watching NFL football in 11 forward (could have been either Infinity or Summit) on at least one prior cruise. The TV was set up towards the rear, facing front, starboard entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Arizona Posted November 7, 2005 Author #18 Share Posted November 7, 2005 They say that through 6 aqauintences we can be connect to every one in the world, but for you it sound like you are directly connected. DH and I once met a man at the airport in Hong Kong who belonged to the same trade association that my Mother works for, and he had met her at the last convention they had put on.

drfun48 Posted November 7, 2005 #19 Share Posted November 7, 2005 DH is a big Detroit Lions fan. No reasonable explaination for this execpt that he was born in Michigan. 2 years ago on Mercury, no Thanks Giving Football. 2005 Infinity San Dieago Hawaii RT. Any Thanks Giving Football? Is your husband STILL a big Lions fan. After the way they have been playing,he may choose not to watch them and enjoy his vacation.I too am a masochistic Lions fan and have suffered sooooooo long. I feel his pain and worry that the temptation to jump overboard might become too great after yet another crushing defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Arizona Posted November 7, 2005 Author #20 Share Posted November 7, 2005 He hasn't given up hope yet, that one day they will be winners. His patience paid off with the Red Wings, He's still hoping for Some Day for the Lions. Not that it was really any big deal anyway, because if he couldn't live with-out his Football, he wouldn't have booked the cruise. Maybe over a year ago he knew in the back of his mind that this wouldn't be the year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyr Posted November 7, 2005 #21 Share Posted November 7, 2005 They say that through 6 aqauintences we can be connect to every one in the world, but for you it sound like you are directly connected. They do say that's true! I also read somewhere that if you talk to someone sitting next to you on an airplane, there's a 9 out of 10 chance that you have someone in common as well. I guess that takes the six degrees of separation and narrows it down to either the city you're leaving from or the city you're going to. Anyway, regarding football, one of the hardest things about booking our upcoming Millie transatlantic was the fact that it's sailing over T-giving. We will be sailing between Malaga and the Canary Islands on Thanksgiving Day, and I've never been able to get an answer from anyone as to when the ship will loose the feed. Also unsure whether (even if we did have a feed) Celebrity would buy the FOX or CBS package. Thanks, LoisR, for letting me know they've at least done it before. On my Princess transpacific last year, they only had ABC/ESPN (en espanol) so we only got Sunday night and Monday Night Football. I'm not holding out much hope.

Cruise Arizona Posted November 14, 2005 Author #24 Share Posted November 14, 2005 OK, Joey Harrington actually had a good day today and the Lions are back on the winning path. So, Maybe, we'll have some Turkey day football??? Who knows, If not, Like I said , we'll read about it in the Paper. Ove the lastt 12 year since we have been married DH and I have spent Thanks Giving in the Phillipeans, Germany, Mexico, and the remaining 9 years in the USA eating the traditional dinner. Eitherway its pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
