newmexicoNita Posted March 21, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Most likely if they cover March Madness at all it will be in one of the bars. Normally they do not carry sports events other than things like soccer except for the finals. 2 years ago we were on the Breakaway and they only carry the last game or so of March Madness. I hope, for your hubby's sake I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love my butler Posted March 22, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2019 If it costs NCL money, don't count on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugtech Posted March 22, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Did not show any games of the 2016 World Series on the Gem, had seen it in the atrium in previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hottubmomma Posted March 22, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted March 22, 2019 thanks everyone, my husband is researching bars at our stops that might carry the tournament. HUGE basketball fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUGE basketball fan I'd ask after you board. I've been on many sailings that have had some big sporting events. I've seen the Super Bowl, Wimbledon Tennis (on the big screens by the pool) and last year on the Escape we watched many World Cup Soccer games. Hopefully you're lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb Nahoumi Posted March 22, 2019 #11 Share Posted March 22, 2019 When we were on the Dawn last October, they were able to show the last game of the World Series on the large screen in the atrium. Most passengers were from the New England area, so NCL got this for us. We saw the Red Sox win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was figuring this was the case, as the other person was on the Gem (guessing out of Yankeetown), so interest was obviously lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a chance the games on CBS are. I don't remember what channels the ship got though unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted March 23, 2019 #14 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I do think if enough people inquire they can find a way to bring, at least some of the games on, but don't expect all of them to be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had nothing to do with any homeboys. Same ship did not show Cubs Indians in 2016, did not get to see the Cubs win for the first time in over 100 years.

I’ve learned that here on Cruise Critic, thread subjects are largely disregarded. I made a thread about it, but nobody seems to care. Ironically, there are other forums that enforce it as a rule.

mugtech Posted March 25, 2019 #21 Share Posted March 25, 2019 On the Jewel 10 days ago, channels 10 through 18 were the usual NCL stuff, including a bow cam channel and a navigation diagrams channel. 19 to 22 were movie channels, one for drama, another for comedy, another for kids and I forget the other one. The same movies were shown every day, just in a different order. One of the movies was Ground Hog Day. Drama included Crazy Rich Asians Further up there was BBC news, Faux News, and PMSNBC. Ignored the rest. Hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hottubmomma Posted April 1, 2019 Author #22 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Great news, just returned from our trip and the Basketball tournament is available. There is a channel called special events and they played all the games so my husband was over the moon. We enjoyed watching the games at O' Sheehans and the staff there always made sure we had a great booth for viewing. Go HOOS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Peachypooh Posted April 1, 2019 #24 Share Posted April 1, 2019 We saw a Wimbleton tennis tournament one cruise. Other than that all I remember is Fox News. On the Jade the movies just ran when they ran you couldn't pick, stop, or start them and there was no guide! Maybe that is fixed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
