Auroraborealis8 Posted November 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Does anyone have any past experience of NCL showing World Cup games on board? DH has sowed some seeds of doubt that it will be shown on the Bliss when we sail at the beginning of December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Page Posted November 7, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Chances are it will be on. NCL is famous for showing a lot of kickball (a.k.a. soccer - lamest and most boring sport ever invented might I add)on their cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlock Posted November 7, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2022 We were on the Epic during the 2014 World Cup and they had most matches showing on the H2O screen. They also had a large framed schedule on an easel near the bar in O'Sheehans, on which they updated the scores every day. Most days there were different sets of fans, decked out in the national colours, making their way aft to see their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maleficent's Dad Posted November 7, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I know it's a while back now, but in 2014 we watched games on the large atrium screen on the Breakaway. It was pretty popular to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he suggested that because it's so popular NCL may not have the (more expensive) channels that would show the matches. Sounds like from others that it has been shown in the past, so hopefully there is nothing to fear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of their crew members play. I remember having a pickup game with a half dozen passengers and about 2 dozen crew member on the BA.
