Giantfan13 Posted October 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2016 While we are experienced cruisers, this is our first on Royal Caribbean. As you can see from my handle, I am a big time NY Giants football fan. We are on the Grandeur, Dec 10-22. There will be 2 Sundays when I would like to watch my Giants. Are these games on TV on the ship, like in the Sports bar? Cheers Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted October 10, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Selected games are shown on the pool big screen, such as Sunday and Monday night. However, consider streaming if you want to be sure to see something live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted October 10, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Good luck, normally can not get games they normally show espn and that's about it, and its even worse on Europe cruises not even ESPN, more likely to have a soccer game on TV, Go Giants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topnole Posted October 10, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Assume you won't get it and hope for the best. Ask the sports bar tender early in the trip as well as maybe an activity manager. That could help make it happen if it is even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2bcruzin Posted October 10, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Pretty much what everyone else said. The channels the ship gets doesn't always show what's available onshore. If it's national it will probably be on (i.e. Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, etc). Otherwise, get Voom, use Slingbox, and watch it on your mobile device. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted October 10, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Otherwise, get Voom, use Slingbox, and watch it on your mobile device...........which may or may not work so well on the Grandeur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevink Posted October 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 10, 2016 You'll get lots of tennis and soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander026 Posted October 10, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 10, 2016 RCCL carries ESPN International. Typically on Sundays they will show the National game that would be televised on FOX, CBS, NBC, and the Monday Night game. The games can be found on the pool deck, and also in the staterooms.

Cheers Len The late game on Sundays, Sunday Nights, Monday Nights , & Thursdays Nights all on the big screen poolside, as well as your cabin, and in addition you'll be able to view them in the Cigar Bar. On last week's cruise, the sports bar showed the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Dazzles Posted October 10, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Go Pack Go!!! You may find the main Sunday or Monday night game, but definitely not your choice of numerous games. Lots of international sports like soccer, golf, tennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveru621 Posted October 10, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I would love to think that RCI has finally realized they could fill up the bars by showing more than one game. RCI usually buys the network that has the Sunday 4:30 Nationally televised game. Unless something has changed, Sunday football, one early, one late, and Sunday night, Thursday night, and Monday night. There is no sports package that would show multiple games.

yj_eugene Posted October 10, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 10, 2016 As you can see from my handle, I am a big time NY Giants football fan. My condolences. :p We are on the Grandeur, Dec 10-22. There will be 2 Sundays when I would like to watch my Giants. Are these games on TV on the ship, like in the Sports bar? The game against the Cowboys on the 11th is the Sunday night one, so I expect it'll be carried on the ship. The one on the 18th is a 1pm start, and there are a couple of other games at that time that would be more attractive to the general audience, so you'll probably be spared watching the Giants lose that game to my Lions. :D Restore the Roar!

Giantfan13 Posted October 11, 2016 Author #15 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Thank you all for the great replies. I already know that those games probably won't mean much, but I've been a Giants fan for over 60 years, thru good times and some of the worst football once can imagine. As a fan, you just have to grin and bear it. If I can get the games, I'll watch. Cheers Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
