Are HAL showing the World Cup?

[Scruffy666]

We are on the Amsterdam during the soccer World Cup in June/July and hope that HAL will be showing the tournament, or at least a highlights program. Does anyone have any information? We were on Princess during the winter olympics and were disappointed that they were not shown. Come on England!

I've specifically heard that the ships in Europe will be airing the games, but haven't heard anything definitive with the rest of the fleet one way or the other.

 

One good thing though, is that the ESPN channel is ESPN International so I would imagine it'll have VERY heavy World Cup coverage (at the very least)

You know the onboard crew of the various competing nations will be very interested in watching the games (Holland, England, USA, Serbia, Australia, South Africa)

My guess is that they will be selectively reshowing certain games,

including the U.S victory over England and anything involving Holland

( thought I would sneak the first one in there).

From Captain Albert's blog, aboard the Prinsendam, this from a post a few days ago. He posts daily - it's a great blog to follow. "Tonight is the England – USA game and we can see all the games as the company has taken out a contract for the fleet.'
