Skorpora Posted February 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Dear CC friends, DH is desperate to know whether or not the Daytona 500 will be broadcast onboard the February 17th sailing of the Noordam. The big race is on the 23rd. We're in Martinique that day. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted February 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Unlikely. Not impossible, but I wouldn't expect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically for events like this HAL will try but then again it has to be on a channel that they can, and have paid for, receive via satellite. They do pretty good with really large sporting events like yesterday's Super Bowl and the NCAA basketball March Madness but most other sports are limited to what is available on ESPN. The other factor is even if the race is on ESPN in the US it may not be available on the Caribbean available version of the ESPN channel as that is more focused on Central and South America sports like soccer. Like I said.....maybe.....but certainly not for sure. Edited February 3, 2014 by Randyk47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 3, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I wouldn't count on it. HAL does concentrate more on soccer as mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's whatever ESPN is showing for the area rather than HAL's free choice.. Edited February 3, 2014 by jtl513 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorpora Posted February 3, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks everyone. I had my doubts too. He'll be recording it so he can watch all the fun when we get back home. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
