AFL on Pacific Dawn

[Izabelle]

When we cruised on Rhapsody two years ago we had AFL games on the cabin TV...does anyone know if Pacific Dawn has the games on either the cabin TV or in one of the bars?

Hi We got off the Pacific Dawn on the 9th April , you can see AFL games in the Legends Bar.

Enjoy your cruise

Thanks for that...good to know we can enjoy a cocktail while watching the game, countdown is on now, just 4 weeks :):D

Good news for an NRL fan as well I guess - they'll hopefully be showing the first State of Origin match on the Jewel in a few weeks. Should be a good night! We'll just be pulling out of Luganville :D

Awesome to know.

Sailing on the Dawn in June and didn't want to miss the Queen's bday clash (sorry, Collingwood supporters) :D but don't hold that against me!

Which, for those who haven't been on Pacific Dawn before is in the Casino on Deck 8 midships.

 

I nearly posted saying that there wasn't a Legends Bar on Pacific Dawn and you had to go to the Casino, then I remembered that the bar in the Casino is the Legends Bar!

 

One of the best AFL matches I watched at sea was the Second Semi Final in 2007 between Collingwood and West Coast Eagles, which, on the final siren, was a draw and went into Extra Time. We watched this in the Casablanca Bar on Pacific Star, and the further into extra time the game went, the more people gatherd to watch an amazing 20 minutes of do-or-die football. Fortunately the right team (Collingwood) came out victorious!

 

Move on 6 days, to the last night of the cruise, and the preliminary final - another close game between Geelong and Collingwood - again a big crowd in the Casablanca Bar, but this time to see the wrong result in a close final quarter. :(
