The 4 of Us Posted September 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Has anyone noticed if any of the bars on the Joy show any of the college football games on Saturdays? I know they include the Sunday NFL Football games in the Freestyle with locations the games are shown but wasn't sure if they would also play the college games (at least the nationally televised game). If not in the bars, would we be able to watch the games on our stateroom TV's? Does anyone know what sports channels are available on the Joy (Canada itinerary)? There is a college football fan in our group and Saturday is a sea day and they are hoping to watch their alma mater's game. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sailing12Away Posted September 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I'm on the Joy now. I don't think there's any college football on the ship at all. There's a generic Sports24 channel that shows sports stuff. It's been the US Open all week, mixed with Australian rugby. The other day they had the NFL game playing at spice H2O I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolfan1980 Posted September 14, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Rerun european soccer games mostly, some NFL games, but the North American sports offerings generally pathetic sadly. I was on board when the SEC championship game was on last year and it was not shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't completely disagree with you. My personal concern this fall is watching baseball playoff games. NCL must have considered what you are saying. Besides whatever cost they may incur to do the broadcasts, I wonder if they don't want a sports bar vibe on a routine basis in any of their bars. Hooping and hollering to the game is not for everyone especially in open spaces like The Local that compete with loud happenings events in the Atrium. Maybe if they had a sports bar that was branded as such it could work? How about offering pay for view in our rooms for key games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted September 14, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 14, 2022 In my experience on NCL, Royal and Celebrity, NCL is by far the worst at providing US based sports, baseball, football etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
