NFL Playoffs?

[gcorgain]

Hi we are NFL Season ticket holders, but will be on Explorer for the first two playoff weekends. The first weekend is both sea days, and the second weekend is a sea day + a port day. Does Regent typically have the NFL playoff games on the stateroom TV's or in a lounge?

Playoff Games?  Not FINAL Super Bowl game?

 

Availability may be dependent on what part of the World you are at at Game Time.  

 

Our experience:  Explorer's Voyager.  February 2, 2014. Somewhere close to Australia's East Coast, near Brisbane.  Super Bowl.  Seattle Seahawks vs. some Team from Denver (cannot recall that name).   

 

About a week earlier,  guest agitation from both Seattle and Denver fans began.  Would the game be shown--Live from a New Jersey venue?  Maybe, later for viewing; or, not-at-all due to atmospheric and contractual situations? 

 

No initial response.  Guests' agitation (friendly) continued as Game Time approached.  

 

Bottom Line:  The day before--Announcement.  Yes.  LIVE telecast in Theater very-early in the morning in Australia (given the time at New Jersey).  Complete with popcorn and other treats.  Game would be recorded for later showing that afternoon--and evening--for guests doing excursions.   My brother and his wife (not Seahawks fans) were on one of those.  

 

So--if viewing Live, do not give away the final results to spoil the "experience" for those doing a land excursion to a kangaroo refuge, or some-such.  (No disrespect to local species intended.)  They could see that game upon return to ship.  

 

Now, that is what I call positive response to a legitimate request. 

 

The rest is "recorded" in history.   Most Denver fans left the Theater in disbelief about 45 seconds into the Third Quarter. Spouse and I remained, together with Seahawks fans, for remainder. 

 

So--I would suggest bringing up this matter directly with Regent.  Do not wait for the week before when on whatever ship you will be on.    

 

Good Luck.  

 

GOARMY!

Thanks. This is a PanamaCanal cruise, so at least the timezones will be fairly friendly. I do get a streaming  service that would allow me to stream the games from my iPad, but given that the biggest complaints I have seen about Regent are about poor wifi, I'm not particularly optimistic on that.
