kms5555 Posted January 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Lots of posts about the Super Bowl being shown all over the ship, but we are interested in the Daytona 500. Anyone watch that on the ship? Don't want to miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlp20 Posted February 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2018 In all of our cruises, we have never seen any sport aired on ship's TV's EXCEPT FOR SUPER BOWL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satxdiver Posted February 1, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I have only seen sport playoffs televised live on the ship. We have watched the World Series Baseball and Super Bowl on the ship. I have never seen anything else televised live. The ship in the Western hemisphere does have CNN, MSNBC and Fox news programs on the TV. However those are news programs and may talk about certain sporting events but not to live stream them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfragger Posted February 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2018 If enough people request it they may put it on, but seeing as it's an early afternoon type of deal and runs for 3+ hours, I find it unlikely that they will be airing it.

Anyone watch that on the ship? Don't want to miss it. If you don't want to miss it, then don't cruise when the race is held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted February 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I usually record programs like that at home on my DVR & then download them to my tablet when I can find a WiFi signal at any port so I can view them on the ship when at sea.

Rare Waynetor Posted February 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 1, 2018 We were just on 7 Caribbean cruises from De 1 to Ja 28 on the Crown, Pacific and Regal. They had the football playoffs on Crown and Regal on MUTS and in cabin plus 1 bar. I didn't pay attention but there was some college game also. One correction to post above - no CNN available. Watching MSNBC and switching over to FOX is like watching news from 2 completely different countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBGuy Posted February 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Last summer my coffee shop buddy told me that he'd booked another cruise--Hawaii. The last few years he has always had five or six cruises scheduled. So, this was not particularly earthshaking news. I did, though, ask when. "Next January 18." It took me about 12 milliseconds to realize the implication of that date. "So, you're not going to go to Daytona for the 24 Hour." Every year he travels back for that race. A stunned look immediately hit his face. "I can't believe I didn't think of that." Too late. There's no way he's going to tell his wife that they couldn't take the Hawaii cruise. Fast forward to this past weekend. The XBGuys are watching the Daytona 24. I mention to Mrs. XBGuy that we are going to be missing the Daytona 500 because we are going to be cruising. "What? How can that be?" She was pretty disappointed. No, she was more than disappointed. Now, the good news, from my point of view, is that she is the one who proposed this exact cruise. She did see some irony, though. "I was laughing at Ron because he forgot about the Daytona 24, and, then, I go and do the same thing." So, we will DVR the race and enjoy our cruise. The risk, of course, is that we might be denied if there is a rain delay, but what are you going to do? Some people have real problems. I'm not worried, at all, about hearing the results before we get back home. When I am on a cruise, I am "off the grid." :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
