lschrage Posted February 22, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi there- We will be sailing the Mariner on 3/5. That night, the Oscars will be on. Is there any place that you can watch it on the ship? Would it be on TV in the rooms? It's sort of a corny tradition that we watch, and would love to catch it while we're on the cruise. If not, no big deal. But if we can, then that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cape Cruiser 2007 Posted February 22, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Im sure you can catch it somewhere. But then again, I wouldn't schedule it in my opinion....too much else to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truffles2 Posted February 22, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I would be very surprised if you would receive the Oscar telecast....about the best you can hope for are some highlights on CNN the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zotzer Posted February 22, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Have someone at home record it for you. Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyIL Posted February 22, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2006 In 2004 I was on a HAL cruise in the Caribbean, and they had a lounge open with a BIG screen for those who wanted to watch the Academy Awards. I wouldn't be surprised if an RCI ship does that, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancyquilts Posted February 22, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Set it to record before you leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&A Posted February 22, 2006 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2006 You will probably be having a great time on the ship and won't even be thinking about them. Besides why would anyone want to watch a bunch of pretentious Hollywood types patting themselves on the back and the usual boring speeches. lol:) Have fun on your cruise and forget about tv for awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilRhody Posted February 22, 2006 #8 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I asked this same question a few days ago and no one answered. Just thought you'd like to know that you aren't the only person who finds the Oscars interesting enough to want to catch them on your cruise!

Treven Posted February 22, 2006 #10 Share Posted February 22, 2006 One of the most enjoyable things about all of my land vacations & cruises is that I'm totally removed from what's going on elsewhere in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigpooh Posted February 23, 2006 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I don't know the answer to your question, but instead of criticizing your desire to watch the Oscars I'll offer some hope: on my Celebrity Summit cruise (Caribbean) in 2003 they showed the Oscars in the disco - the dj even had trivia contests during the commercials. A fairly small group attended, but it was great that they offered the telecast. As a big movie and cruising fan, I was quite pleased! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseforus Posted February 23, 2006 #12 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I was wondering the same thing. We're also leaving March 5th on the Explored and was very dissapointed when I heard the date for the adwards was 3-5. I never miss them and love the show. MY DH & I saw most of the movies this year as we always do and I just love to watch the awards. I never thought for a minute I'd get to see the show but now I have hope. As far a taping it and watching it when we get home, I'd have no interest. If I can't see it live then I'll just have to call home from our first port and find out who won. For all who answered thanks, I now have hope We'll get to se it. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyIL Posted February 23, 2006 #13 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I wonder if people would've told you you didn't need to watch TV if it had been the StupidBowl - I mean SUPERBOWL - instead of the Academy Awards! Since the Academy Awards are a once-a-year thing - like the SuperBowl - I would think the ship would accommodate people who want to see it.

Since the Academy Awards are a once-a-year thing - like the SuperBowl - I would think the ship would accommodate people who want to see it. Actually I refer to it as the Stupor Bowl, it's "usually" sooo boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty1 Posted February 26, 2006 #15 Share Posted February 26, 2006 You might get the oscars feed onboard. We got the feed from the Daytona 500 last year. They show certain special live events onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twopeasandaprincess Posted February 28, 2006 #16 Share Posted February 28, 2006 My husband and I are crusing the week of April 1 and he wanted to know if the cruiseline would have the NCAA Championship Basketball Game available to watch and he called today (800-529-6918) and the gentleman he spoke to was very knowledgeable and able to answer his question... which was a yes. (It's on CBS, if this helps?) ;) Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMoney Posted February 28, 2006 #17 Share Posted February 28, 2006 2 things - you can quite often get mini-newspapers onboard with short summaries of top news stories; this may provide some valuable info if they show isnt available. I'd be happy to email a news story summarizing the winners to anyone who may be at sea. That will save you from having to search on the internet. Just let me know.
