jenfromjersey Posted September 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi all, we are sailing on the Breakaway at the end of December and my brother is dying to know if football will be shown on the ship at all. And anyway of knowing what channels they might be pumping in? I told him there is no guarantee that even while in port, would he get to see the Jets game.

Ewoodspark Posted September 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi all, we are sailing on the Breakaway at the end of December and my brother is dying to know if football will be shown on the ship at all. And anyway of knowing what channels they might be pumping in? I told him there is no guarantee that even while in port, would he get to see the Jets game. Which football are you talking about? Proper Premier League football or that American version that they play with an oval ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenfromjersey Posted September 23, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted September 23, 2014 American NFL football with the oval ball. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachcomberbill Posted September 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi, ESPN is one of the stations on board the Breakaway. When we were waiting to leave port on Sunday, whatever game that was on CBS in NYC was carried at 1PM (which wasn't the Jets because they had the 4pm game). The ship did not carry FOX sports, so we couldn't see the Giants game at 1PM and had to suffer through watching the hated Brady Bunch (that's the NE Patriots to all of you soccer fans). We asked one of the staff in O'Sheehans about "how come?" and the answer was that NCL only contracts with certain stations. That was the second loss in a row for the G-men in another dismal display, so it was a good thing we couldn't see that game.:rolleyes:. However the Monday and Thursday night games were also available. For some reason, on Saturday there was no signal from ESPN which meant no college games , and of course that other "sports" station which was available was showing some game where everyone runs around in their underwear kicking a white ball with black spots and nothing happens for about an hour and a half. :D After that the same station showed something that resembled baseball but I had no idea what was going on, except that it was even more boring, if that's possible. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT Trips Posted September 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Post season games are likely to be available regardless of the network carrying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugtech Posted September 23, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Post season games are likely to be available regardless of the network carrying them. So no Jets games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasinoCruzGirl Posted September 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2014 So no Jets games. Lol sucks being a jets fan. I'm a diehard jets fan and it's very disheartening to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenfromjersey Posted September 23, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Ouch, that was just mean ;) It won't be post-season then, anyway, I think it is the last week of the season, actually, we are sailing 12/28. Thanks for the information, the bit about CBS for the 1PM game made my brother VERY happy, as that is what the Jets have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny105 Posted September 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 23, 2014 We sailed on the Breakaway last October and there were football games on everywhere. When we boarded, we watched a Cowboys/Eagles game outside in front of Fat Cats. The sound was on too which was nice. There were other games on in different areas of the ship. And they showed the Monday night football game on the big screen in the atrium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdRatherBCruisin Posted September 23, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hoping to watch the Steelers and Bengals on Dec 7th. Would be REALLY nice if they put it on the big screen:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking because of your screen name and I notice those numbers since it's my birthday! Lol Anyway, back to football. I need to know how much data we should purchase so hubby can keep up with his ESPN and CBS fantasy football leagues. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted September 23, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 23, 2014 We are cruising over New Years and hope to get some college bowl games while in the Caribbean - probably not going to happen unless ESPN is covering something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buford T Justiice Posted September 23, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Ouch, that was just mean ;) It won't be post-season then, anyway, I think it is the last week of the season, actually, we are sailing 12/28.

But the ship will have the national broadcast of the 1:00 game perhaps not the NY/NJ area broadcast. Good luck Edited September 23, 2014 by Buford T Justiice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Sol Posted September 24, 2014 #17 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Lol sucks being a jets fan. I'm a diehard jets fan and it's very disheartening to say the least. I'm a diehard Buffalo Bills fan and we seem to know how to take disheartening to a whole new level! I quiver every time the ship makes a "wide right" turn around an island. :D Edited September 24, 2014 by Red-Sol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenfromjersey Posted September 24, 2014 Author #20 Share Posted September 24, 2014 But a post above stated "Hi, ESPN is one of the stations on board the Breakaway. When we were waiting to leave port on Sunday, whatever game that was on CBS in NYC was carried at 1PM (which wasn't the Jets because they had the 4pm game).

JKen2 Posted September 25, 2014 #21 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Don't forget to check out Spice H20. Spice H20 is located outside with an over sized screen TV. We sailed the Epic a few years ago and they had football featured through out the day! They also had tailgate type food cooking all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
