Places on Prima to watch football before departure

[cb2367]

I'll be sailing on Prima this Saturday. After I check-in and get show reservations taken care of (and maybe after a quick lunch) I was wanting to go somewhere on Prima that would maybe have at least a couple of TVs to where one could be set on Fox and another one on whatever. I could bring my tablet and watch football on that in the lounge area, but the tablet is WiFi only and I'm sure the terminal WiFi won't extend to the ship. That would mean I would have to watch on my phone which isn't ideal, but I can do it.

The Local Bar & Grill has a lot of tvs and is your best bet. Around 59:00 you'll see lots of video of it, including the big screen.

Probably depends on what you mean by football. 🙂

 

Based on my experience on NCL, they will have the World Cup games on, but no College Football.  The only times I have seen College Football are the playoff games.

 

They will likely have the national NFL games on TVs somewhere on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday.

 

Where exactly on the Prima?  I do not know.

Try the Local.  They will  have some of the football games on.

The Local and the pool deck are the only places with TVs. But, you are boarding an international cruise ship and not in the United States any longer. NCL does not carry FOX or any other US network stations. It carries an European sports station that features football (soccer). US football is carried by exception.

I would add, if you are sailing this week, World Cup soccer is on the screens in the Local and Channel 19 in your stateroom.

 

This week

 

But they did show have Monday Night Football

I was actually referring to college football. I thought that since Prima didn't depart until 4 that it would be possible to watch college football somewhere on board. Guess I'll be watching on my phone.

No college football on the Prima during the September/October TA. But we did have NFL football on Sunday, Monday and Thursday on channel 18 all the way across the Atlantic. Some of the games didn't start until 2am but they were on in the Local and on the stateroom TV.

Depending on your phone plan, you might be able to Hotspot your phone, connect your tablet, and watch that way.  Or, if your phone is a Samsung, you might be able to cast it to the Samsung tv in your room

I’ll have my iPad Pro watching the fox game somewhere this Saturday.  Not sure which team I want to lose worse though 🤣
