Football (Not soccer) World Cup

[bluwes]

Surprised I haven't seen a post on this already, especially from us Brits who will be sailing in the next 30 days. Sorry that the US team are not there this time..;p

 

Anyone on board already that can tell me if the games are being shown on board, we are sailing out of Bayonne on the 27th June and would hope to be able to watch some of the games while on board.

I’ve cruised during numerous sporting events and coverage has always been available. The British Lions tour was on during our last cruise and it became a great event with the amount of people watching. I’m sure the World Cup will be the same.

Reflection will be showing the Football World Cup either up on its lawn or in the Celebrity Central lounge. But with mostly Europeans and Brits aboard they dare not show it.

Not 100% sure - If you were sailing out of Southampton, Rome or Amsterdam I would say no problem - We were on Eclipse during the Euro Championship 2 years ago and all games were shown in various bars, always in the casino bar and usually for the bigger games they also showed in Celebrity Central and Sky Lounge.

 

With your cruise probably dominated by North American passengers they may show more US sport such as Baseball (i think Basketball season will be finished by the time you sail ??) but I would be surprised even with USA not making finals the World Cup is too global not to show.

Remember that a great many of the crew are interested too. Sports bar on Carnival Glory showed a lot of cricket two years ago... We got them to put tennis on for us. Hoping this year Equinox will have US Open tennis somewhere in late August. EM
