NFL Championship Games

[twentyknots]

We'll be boarding the Reflection on January 29, 2023, the date of the NFL Championship games.  I wonder what the opportunities will be to watch those games.  I'm sure they'll be available to watch at bars but that will be limited viewing with so many people trying to watch.  I think we were on a cruise years ago during a similar time and they showed the games in the theatre, and maybe in the cabins.

We have friends on Reflection that day and will be watching the games too.  Last time I cruised during playoff season and specifically the NFL Conference Championship games they showed them in Celebrity Central with several screens.  Had snacks and wait staff there.  It was a blast!!  They also always have had the games on your cabin TV's.  Enjoy!

Both conference championship games will be available to watch on your stateroom television. The Celebrity Today will tell you which channel.

I have cruised during NFL playoffs and will do so over the next two weeks too.  In my experience, including on Reflection, the games can be seen in the Casino, on stateroom TV, on the big outside screens.  And sometimes at certain indoor venues (with food and drink).  Not a problem in general to watch the games.

The last time we were on a cruise during Playoffs they would broadcast them on the room TVs. For the Superbowl, they made a big deal off it, since it was a Sea Day. I remember that they had some special offerings in the Main Theater. On the main stage they had 2 setups. In the center they had a pair of big Barcalounger type chairs. Can't remember the prices, but it came with all the food and drinks you could consume during the game. There was a special menu of both snack food and drinks. You got a dedicated server to fetch it for you for the duration of the game. On each side of the center seating they setup up a couch and table, which had a server shared between them to fetch things.

Since they’re network game they’ll be on your room, casino bar and possibly the outdoor screen.  Some games like Thursday night games won’t be on in your room but will be on at the casino bar and/or craft social

Thursday night games are now on Amazon Prime.  If you have premium Wifi you can probably stream them.  But not really relevant at this point until next football season.

Correct; pointing out it does play in certain locations if you'd rather not watch it from a personal device or pay for wifi

My son is on the Reflection and said they will be showing tonight's Cowboys vs. Bucs game up on the lawn.

 

I will be on the Silhouette Jan 26th and am hoping they show the championship games up there as well!

 

Go Bucs!!!!  8-9 and going all the way!!! 😲
