mzwalruz Posted December 31, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2014 This is probably a stupid question, but what the heck! We are Boston Bruins fans and hope we might be able to catch a few games on board the Dawn. However, I doubt the ship will broadcast NESN. Any ideas? Thanks! ~Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minn55441 Posted December 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2014 You are correct, no hockey games broadcast while on the ship. You may be able to catch some scores from time to time, but it will be a vacation from hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughboy139 Posted December 31, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 31, 2014 The only time they will show hockey games is during the stanley cup finals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Va. Plumber Posted December 31, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 31, 2014 They didn't even have the World Series on when we sailed in October. The did manage to show a Pats game after some pax demanded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Peel Posted December 31, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 31, 2014 if you are lucky to be in front of the TV at the right moment you may get to see ticker tape scores at the bottom of the screen flash by, but unless you access the internet to get updates I found getting your hockey fix on a cruise ship to be a rarity. As the one poster indicated even the World Series was not played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathubia Posted December 31, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 31, 2014 We watched Monday night football in October on our cruise on the Dawn in Pearly Kings..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walruz73 Posted December 31, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thank you all for your helpful comments about watching hockey/sports on the ship. Considering most Caribbean cruisers are North Americans, I am quite surprised the cruise lines don't make more of an effort to make this available. No doubt it's because they simply don't understand how much alcohol is consumed before, during and after sporting events!! Its a win-win for all! Bon Voyage! ~Wendy P.S. OOPs....this is my husband's account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted December 31, 2014 #11 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Actually they do a pretty good job of showing sports events. Hockey just isn't high on the list of priorities. Although on one Caribbean jaunt we were subjected to a hell week of a Caribbean cricket tournament on TV.

Ontime Departure Posted December 31, 2014 #12 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Last May on Breakaway they did show every Rangers/Caps playoff games in the atrium. I guess with all us NYer's aboard there could have been a mutiny if they hadn't shown them! LOL! They also had them on the screens in O'Sheehans, so maybe if you ask you can at least get to see some games in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughboy139 Posted January 1, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 1, 2015 when I was on the Dawn this past nov. doing the repo from Boston to NOLA, they showed NFL games on thurs. nite, Sunday games and Monday nite football, it was listed in the daily what games were going to be shown and they used the atrium when the Patriots played.....Also when the bruins won the stanley cup, the Dawn showed every game the bruins played since we were doing a boston to bermuda cruise....

Glenn3gl Posted January 1, 2015 #14 Share Posted January 1, 2015 The year the Bruins won The Cup we saw two of the games on The Dawn. One was in Pearly Kings the other outside at the Bimini Bar above the pool. Sent from my HTC One using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
