Football Thursday NIGHT amazon

[George C]

does celebrity show Thursday  night football on TV, we are on the Beyond next week

[mahdnc]

We did not get that feed during our recently completed Constellation TA.

I’m fairly sure no cruise ship does since Amazon has the exclusive. The only non streaming service I know of that carries TNF is Directv’s business package for sports bars. I doubt Celebrity or any cruise line would get that.

They did not on Summit or Silhouette this fall

If you have Amazon, try streaming it yourself.  We did this on Royal on the Allure and it worked.

TNF is shown on local channels and Amazon.  If the cruise ship can get a local channel then it is possible.  Have gotten local feeds from NY and LA on board in the past.  You can also stream it yourself.

You will need to ask on board.

That surprises me. What game? Not every Thursday game has been on Amazon. Week 1 was NBC, I believe. The Thanksgiving game won’t be on Amazon either. Thursday games are also shown in the local markets of the two teams playing, I think, so Royal could have picked that up somehow.

Royal does a good job with sporting events we once saw a boxing fight that was pay for view at home .

As the World Cup games are on at the moment, you may be lucky and the CD will decide to have the games on in the Theatre.

We were on Silhouette in July 2018, when the World Cup was in St Petersburg. All matches were streamed.

Also the same for the Euro’s final on 31/07/22 on Silhouette.

Different CD’s, but same approach.

 

 

July 2018.

It depends on what ESPN feed the ship receives. When in the Caribbean, you'll see more cricket and football (soccer) and many NFL games that would not be on that network at home. This applies to other sports too.

 

So, the answer to the OP's question is a firm 'maybe'!

RCI had Thursday night football on Anthem last week.

So we all agree a definite maybe.

Your conclusions may be correct; however ESPN does not carry Thu Night Football.

Perhaps, perhaps not. The international versions of ESPN shown on Celebrity ships carry many games not typically carried by the US version of the network, including some Sunday NFL matchups.

That is something I have yet to see on any of our cruises.

Just got off Apex (Thanksgiving week cruise). World Cup games were shown at the Rooftop, not the Theatre.

All WC matches were shown but not too many people watching.

You’ve never seen a Sunday NFL game on any cruise? I can even recall ESPN carrying last year’s MLB World Series on Edge in the Caribbean. They pickup the US feeds with US network announcers and graphics but it is ESPN.

Yes, I have watched NFL games at sea.  In all cases that I can remember--such as our recent Constellation TA--Celebrity will take the network feed (CBS, FOX, NBC, etc) and they will put it on one of the special stateroom channels (not an ESPN channel).

 

For example, here is the channel line up on Constellation' stateroom television (courtesy of Tee & Chili):

 

And here is our Oct 30th Celebrity Today which had the (woeful) Steeler game on Channel 22 and the Bears game on Channel 23.  It was not carried on either of the ESPN channels.

 

Here is the Dec 25 2016 Steelers v Ravens game on our Infinity stateroom TV.  It was not carried on an ESPN channel either.

Yeah, the Constellation TA was terrible for NFL games. They probably should never have listed them when “we are having satellite issues” seemed like it would happen in the middle of the Atlantic. And, it did. 
 

 

To the OP, If you have the fast internet package on the ship use that Wi-Fi, sign into your Amazon prime account on your laptop or phone, and watch the game on laptop or phone.

I stand corrected on that, thanks. I did find an online tv listing for ESPN caribbean and it shows they are scheduled to carry tonight's Sunday Night Football game which is an NBC game in the US. Maybe that's what I was recalling.

I took your good idea and looked at the ESPN Caribbean TV schedule myself. I wouldn't have thought they would be showing the NBC Sunday Night Football game, but I see they are. So I also stand corrected.

 

Of course, they are showing tomorrow's Monday Night Football game since ESPN has the televising rights to MNF. However they aren't showing the Thursday Night Football game (the original subject of this thread!).

Last January on the Silhouette they showed NFL playoff games which were of course Sunday broadcasts not weekday streaming.  NFL games are sparse onboard but boy, if you want cricket you'll be in heaven.

 I had not thought of that. Oustanding idea! Tomorrow night on the Equinox I will be the guy at the bar watching his laptop.
