qcnc Posted February 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi everyone! I was wondering if the NCL fleet gets ESPN while at sea? I know many other lines do and broadcast big games. The boats seem to have sports bars, but I wasn't sure what the feed-in was like (I'd assume they have ESPN, but want to check). I've seen scattered information elsewhere, but never a definitive answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lax19 Posted February 28, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2012 They had ESPN on the Dawn (Feb 5-15). Watched the Superbowl (though none of the new commercials). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted February 28, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2012 It's ESPN International. The programming won't be identical to what's carried on ESPN in the US....which is why you can watch events like the Super Bowl and the World Series on the ship's ESPN channel even though those games are carried on other networks in the US. On the other hand you're going to see a lot more soccer than you would on ESPN in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand you're going to see a lot more soccer than you would on ESPN in the US. Just got off the Dawn on Sunday and it was ESPN USA. Watched NFL Prime Time and Baseball Tonight spring training reports. Not to mention Sports Center. Quite a pleasant surprise as on my previous NCL cruises it was just as you described.
