Golden Globe award show is Jan 5th during the Dec 27 Miami to Miami - it is a sea day - anyone know how a "watch party" could get organized?

It may not be on tv on the ship.

I doubt you will get it on the ship. The only thing they ever get is the SuperBowl, and that has only been for the last few years.

I agree with above, but why not ask-they can only say no, but you won't know that unless you ask.  We all could be surprise with a yes answer.

Exactly.  ASK.  That is what we (several passengers) did back in 2014 re:  SuperBowl coverage while aboard Voyager on an extended Sydney-Singapore cruise.    Seattle vs. Denver.  

 

Began inquiry upon boarding.   Response was--well, there are contractual situations; and a satellite situation; and location of ship at time of "live" broadcast of the game from New Jersey.   So, probably not.  

 

Kept asking.  Evolving response, which ultimately resulted in LIVE coverage of game projected from Theater early (local Australian time), complete with popcorn.  Great game if Seattle Seahawks fans; not-so-much if rooting for Denver.  

 

The game was over before lunch.  Actually, from the Seattle perspective, it was over early in the 3rd Quarter.  By that time, Denver rooters had repaired to alternate libation locations to salve the wounds. 

 

Cruise Director advised Game would be replayed--available in each suite--that evening for benefit of folks on shore excursions.  So--on best-behavior not to divulge the final score to those not in the Theater.   

 

So cruel.  My brother and his spouse--Denver fans--were on an excursion.   Met them for lunch.  Without giving away too much, just suggested watching the first few minutes of 1st Quarter; and 3rd Quarter Denver kick-off.  Neither rebounded well for Denver.   

 

Bottom line.   Make a reasonable request, and it will be considered.   Not sure if this was the first time a SuperBowl had been carried, in real time.  Considering we were in Australian waters--hats off to whomever at Corporate made the decision to redirect the satellite, and probably incur a premium charge for doing so.  And, BTW:  it was a great cruise.  

 

GOARMY!

Make sure you record it before you leave and then watch when you get home.
