angiem0217 Posted September 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2017 We will be on the Fantasy in 9 days and I was curious where is the best place to watch the football games? We are from MS and I graduated from ole miss and my husband from MS State. We play Alabama and they play Auburn. With the cruise leaving from Mobile I figure there will be a lot of people looking to watch both of those games Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodyMiles1994 Posted September 19, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I don't remember for sure if there is or not, but the last time we sailed out on an SEC Football day, I just loaded up Tune In Radio on my phone to listen to it. We will be on the Ship the cruise after you so have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrygirlcruiser1234 Posted September 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I am just off the Magic extended 10 day cruise. They only showed baseball and soccer on the ship and one Monday night football game (NFL). We asked them if they could put them on in the Red Frog Pub and in the Casino but no luck. We had Green Bay Packer fans (GO PACK GO), Steelers fans, and Bears fans in our party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loanshark Posted September 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) If the game is the CBS 2:30 CT/ 3:30 ET game, you should be able to see it. For ESPN games at 11:00/12:00 and 5:00/6:00/7:00/8:00, it is hit or miss. (Sometimes the ship will show the Latin America feed of ESPN instead of the US feed.) If it is one of the SEC network-scheduled games, there is very little chance you will see it on the ship. The Alabama-Auburn game a couple of years ago was the ESPN prime time game because CBS showed Alabama too many times earlier in the season, and was contractually prohibited from picking that game. I was on the Liberty for that game, and they specifically pulled the satellite feed from that game, and showed it in the sports bar only, but it is rare for them to pull a specific feed, unless it is a real big game.

We had Green Bay Packer fans (GO PACK GO), Steelers fans, and Bears fans in our party. Only baseball and soccer? During football season? That's crazy! Football is more popular than both of those sports in the United States. I just got off Triumph and if football was on, they were showing it in the sports bar and casino.

Rare Saint Greg Posted September 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 19, 2017 To the OP I'd say as long as the game in on NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox or ESPN, you should be able to get the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Shouldn't be any problem then. ESPN has been sort of the default channel on all of my cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
