wookie78 Posted January 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2023 First time O cruiser. Long time Georgia Bulldawg fan. What are the chances we can get ESPN on our cabin TV to watch the College Football championship game? We were able to watch the game last year on Regal Princess using Firestick attached to the cabin TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunlover12 Posted January 1, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Unfortunately Oceania does not carry ESPN on the cabin TVs. It's mainly cable news stations. The wi-fi is probably going to be spotty so streaming it will be extremely difficult. I think they've set up Super Bowl parties in Horizons in the past but don't know if they would do it for the college football championship. I wouldn't count on it. Congratulation Georgia Bulldogs. Very exciting come-from-behind win last night! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richbutnot Posted January 1, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The Sirena showed the World Cup final in the lounge a couple of weeks ago, so there is a chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davencl Posted January 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I'd say a very good chance. As noted the Sirena has been showing major events on the screen by the pool. Likely the captain will do all he can to get this done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium wifi only gets you streaming access. It does not give greater bandwidth. I.E. the bandwidth to the ship is constrained. If many people on the ship are online streaming it won't work well.

Rare LHT28 Posted January 1, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 1, 2023 College games may be a major event in the USA but not sure if it would be worth it for the cruise lines Just saying Final games for World Cup/Super bowl /World Series Sometime some Olympic games JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookie78 Posted January 1, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Thanks for all responses. We will hope for the best and prepare for only getting score updates occasionally. We can watch the replay when we get home...if we win! Go Dawgs!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted January 2, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Huge difference between World Cup and college football championship, and I couldn't care less about the WC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted January 2, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Perhaps Robjames, or someone else currently aboard an O ship, could ask their Cruise Director this question and report back. Eliminate speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
