Silhouette - March Madness / Final Four

[Freddy Funship Jr.]

I will be Cruising on March 29th and would like to watch some March Madness basketball. Does anybody know if there is anywhere on the ship that broadcasts sporting events other than the staterooms? Thank you.

There are a few areas on the ship where it "could" be broadcast. The default is the casino if no other venue is arranged. Celebrity is not in tune to American sports, with the exception of the Super Bowl. So you best bet is to talk to the Cruise Director as soon as you board. If the answer is that there are no plans to show the games, you'll need to talk it up amongst other passengers and get a lot of folks asking for it. To Celebrity's credit, if there is a ton of demand they will figure out a venue. But sometimes it just takes a lot of asking by a lot of passengers. (It took until Game 3 of the World Series a few years ago to get it shown in a public venue) and earlier this year Constellation set up a last minute viewing of the Football playoff games due to demand. (As of that morning they were still saying "no" and never made a formal announcement about it, yet the venue was PACKED and standing room only). Good luck.

Good question. We will be on for the championship game and we would LOVE to see it, especially since our teams (my hubby and I cheer for 2 different teams) have a chance to make it to the end!!
