jeanarch Posted October 15, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2011 We will be boarding the Elation on Nov. 5, 2011 the day of maybe the biggest SEC football game of the year. Not sure if it is an afternoon or night game. This ship sails out of New Orleans and I suspect the majority of the passengers will be either an LSU or an Alabama fan. Any chance of the game being carried on the ship's television. Anyway to find out??? My DH has emailed John Heald but , bless his heart, he is inundated with inquiries and may not get to it.

jeanarch Posted October 15, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I don't know what network it will be shown on and can't find the time on the LSU sites but will keep looking. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstcruiseoct11 Posted October 15, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2011 We were just on the Ecstasy and we were able to watch the LSU Florida game. So I'm sure you'll be able to see the LSU Bama game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southern638 Posted October 15, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 15, 2011 On the ESPN schedule, it has a 3:30 start time on CBS. CBS has first pick of the SEC game each Saturday, so there is no way they are not showing that one. Oh and by the way......GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!

Mystkl1 Posted October 16, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I was on the Elation out of Mobile during the Alabama/Florida game. It was shown on CBS and the ship carried ABC, NBC, FOX, and ESPN, but not CBS! Don't know if the channel selection is ship specific, home port specific, or some other combination. The ship truly tried to get the game tuned in, but could not. We had a memorable time anyway...about 50 of us die hard Alabama fans crowded the sports bar decked out in our fan gear and watched Wisconsin/Nebraska just so we could cheer when the score ticker came around. We stayed the entire game and had a great time! What was really funny was watching people come in to the bar, stare at the tv for a few minutes, then realize they weren't watching "the game." Hope you're able to pick it up! Gotta love a good SEC game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scgamecock Posted October 16, 2011 #9 Share Posted October 16, 2011 CBS & American ESPN (They only had the Caribbean/Latin version of ESPN.) were not available on Valor 2 weeks ago. The sports bar was playing cricket at 1 pm on college football Saturday. They did play the ABC game at 3:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachpeach1 Posted October 16, 2011 #10 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I am hoping that they will cover the Clemson/GA Tech game on 10/29....especially since CU is now 7-0!!!!!! Go Tigers!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bguppies Posted October 16, 2011 #11 Share Posted October 16, 2011 A few weeks ago on the Legend we did NOT get a CBS station all week and the bartender in the Sportsbar told us they had not had a CBS feed for quite awhile... The TV feeds "for the fleet" that John Heald posted a couple of months ago are complete BS. We had NBC from the Virgin Islands and ABC and FOX feeds from Puerto Rico. (all carried their early AM and evening news feeds from NYC stations for some reason. Alot of passengers were confused thinking the feeds were from NYC, but couldn't understand why commercials were all in spanish :confused:) The ESPN was ESPN International and ESPN 2 International in the sportsbar, but neither showed 1 second of NCAA games. Just a 3 hour window of Monday Night Football and every second the rest of the week was soccer, soccer and more soccer. Hopefully your ship gets the CBS feed so you can watch some quality SEC action and not the mixed bag on ABC all day... Best of luck. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbriver Posted October 16, 2011 #12 Share Posted October 16, 2011 We were on the October 8 sailing out of Mobile. We DID NOT get the LSU-Fla. game, nor did we get the Alabama game. Very disappointing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3AUTigerFans Posted October 16, 2011 #13 Share Posted October 16, 2011 We are hoping to be able to watch the Auburn-Bama game onboard the Ecstasy on Nov.26!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanarch Posted October 16, 2011 Author #14 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Thanks for all the replies..Sure were a mixed bag. I suspect that 75% of the passengers on that sailing will be SEC fans so I really hope it is shown somewhere. At least we could keep up with the score even if we can't get in the bar that its being shown in. GEAUX TIGERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanarch Posted October 16, 2011 Author #15 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Just a funny...Last year we were on the Triumph when the Saints were playing. Of course the Chairhogs were on deck saving seats by 10:00 am and not sitting in them till dark(empty chairs all day) when the big screen showed the game. We watched it inside at the casino bar...The funny part was that the audio was all in SPANISH...Didn't hurt the game one bit. Saints won...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
