Regal Princess.......TV networks

[LimaSierra]

I have the 10-24-15 Regal repo and would like to know if the inroom TV's have the ABC network available......(big football game). Thanks!

No idea about stations in room but maybe it will be on MUTS??

I was on the Ruby opening Sunday and they had games playing on MUTS.

As you asked about ABC I presume you are looking for NCAA football. Once the ship is in international waters they will have the international feed of ESPN which may or may not have the particular game of your interest (could be any of the games from any of the Disney/ABC/ESPN family of networks). Likely some bars will have a game on as well. On Ruby last year there was a channel on the stateroom TV that showed the lower-level midweek games from the mid-tier cable sports networks.

 

I don't know of any ships other than Carnival that show the regular OTA TV networks; a very long time ago NCL did, in 20 years on Princess never saw them in my cabin.

I wasn't considering MUTS because it is a Saturday (first night) and probably cold and not a popular product for that night....prime time; however, a good suggestion and worthy consideration. Thanks!

I just off Regal on the 17th. They DO NOT have ABC, NBC or CBS. ugh! But they were really good about showing the football games in several places. MUTS, Casino, Churchills Cigar bar, Club 6 and several times they used the Vista Lounge to show games. They ALWAYS had the football games on. Now if you're wanting baseball, the only time I could find the ALDS games on was in the Cigar bar. ugh! The inform channels stunk!

Unfortunately your first instinct about no games on MUTS on embarkation day is likely correct. There will almost definitely not be a game in the afternoon as they would have to interrupt it for the muster drill and don't want to risk an uprising among the fans. As for that night, I would ask around as to what bar may have sports on; casino bar is a good bet.

 

The reason the other response reported seeing NFL games on a Sunday embarkation day on Ruby is that Princess made a commitment to show all Seahawks and 49ers games on all west coast departures. (No comparable one for Florida teams on Ft Lauderdale sailings).

Thanks Fishywood. Perhaps I may get lucky, but last year on the Royal that international feed only had that funny type of football. Time will tell. Thanks again.

Thanks Oregonjuli. At least I now have a better knowledge of availability and location. I appreciate the assistance........I want to watch the tOSU vs Rutgers game.

Was hoping to watch the PSU v OSU game when on the CB in October 2013. They had it on in Churchills.....but as you probably know, I wish it wasn't on! You probably enjoyed it. My experience is that they always have a good college game on in casino and the cigar bar.
