ejgonz2 Posted October 10, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi all, very excited about our cruise on the Jewel in less than 2 weeks, but one problem. I'm a huge baseball (St. Louis Cardinals) fan and booked the trip when I thought my Cards were out of it. If I knew they had a chance, I wouldn't have booked it for that time. Its now very possible they'll be in the World Series while I'm on the cruise. Please tell me that Fox is available in the rooms or the World Series games will be shown at a bar or anywhere on the ship!?! Thanks!! Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewoman Posted October 10, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2011 There are several flat screen TV's in Maltings Bar. Always some type of sports on them. Was told by Big Lou (fellow CC'er here) who traveled with us last year on Jewel that he watched several sporting events on the HUGE screen in Java cafe. The flat screens in Maltings aren't that big - 48 inches maybe? So java would definitely be your Cardinal fix spot:D They're underdogs --- I hope they win!!!

peg013 Posted October 10, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I assume you are on the 10/22 Jewel cruise, same as us. Come join our rollcall. The link is in my signature. I would think you'll be able to watch the World Series, but I sure hope it doesn't mess with my NFL football. Last cruise on the Gem they showed one of each of the three Sunday football games,the Monday night game and the Thursday night game. I would think the World Series would take preference so I'll be the one out of luck if they don't show both. They do have Fox but they determine which "Fox" satellite they pick up.

anthk333 Posted October 10, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2011 They will show the World Series, but you are likely to see it on the ESPN International feed, not the Fox feed. Also it may be shown on the big screen in the atrium - we saw lots of football games from there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njsailor Posted October 10, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 10, 2011 On the Gem this past week, they showed all the major sporting events (NFL, College Football, baseball, etc) in the bars. Additionally, the staterooms had the NFL channel, so if you are more interested in NFL than baseball when it is being shown, there's that option as well. Have a wonderful trip, we certainly did!

MiamiSpartan Posted October 11, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2011 We were on the Pearl during the Yankee-Philly WS a few years back, and each night, they showed the games on the 2 story screen in the main lobby, and each night it was FILLED with fans of both teams decked out in their colors....Be sure to pack hats, jerseys, etc.....
