Sawdan Posted May 21 #1 Share Posted May 21 Hi all. Been on lots of cruises but never during a major football tournament. We will be on Arvia for the first 2 England games next month and just wondered where they might show the football? Obviously not everyone likes football, but I would guess at least 1k or so of the approx 5k passengers would like to watch the game. This will be our 3rd time on Arvia and I would think that Brodies will no doubt show the football but what about elsewhere?. The Skydome would be a good place to show the football or even the clubhouse? what do people think? Obviously I wouldn't expect the ship to be taken over by football and spoil it for the non fans but just wondered what if anything they might do. I believe the games are when we are in Marseille and then after we have left Cadiz. Regards to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Interestedcruisefan Posted May 21 #2 Share Posted May 21 (edited) If they can stream them they certainly will Depends what channels they are on etc Just came off Ruby Princess and that ship was full of Vancouver Canucks fans wanting to watch the Ice hockey playoffs Only one of the 4 games was shown on the channels they had available on the ship They have special cruise sports channels on Arvia. Same channels were showing basketball most of the time on Princess when the Ice hockey games were on. And nothing the cruise ship could show their hockey fans Arvia will have a BBC news channel but not BBC 1 and ITV etc which I imagine will be showing the games To best of my memory? Same channels in the bars you can watch in your cabins as well Edited May 21 by Interestedcruisefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdan Posted May 21 Author #3 Share Posted May 21 Never thought about it being on terrestrial tv Interestedcruisefan, that's a good point. I think there were a couple of sports channels on the TV so hopefully might be on there signal permitting. Even if I have to sit in the cabin!!!😁 cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Megabear2 Posted May 21 #4 Share Posted May 21 We did the Euro finals and the World Cup on Britannia. Games were streamed in Brodies and for the actual finals also in the theatre. I'd guess as these are just qualifiers Brodies is the obvious place to start and depending on match time could well be the Club House as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be amazed if they are not on, they will show them in one of the bars or lounges, but they are also available on your room TV, and Arvia has big TVs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the ship can receive those channels then they would be shown I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
