Bejing Olympics on TV on Cruise ships?

I will be sailing from Baltimore to Bermuda from August 16 for a week. I have looked and it does not seem that NBC is a station that NCL has, does this mean I will be Olympicless for a week :(

Cruise ships don't carry network TV. Your only hope is to see highlights on ESPN. If you're on over the weekend, sometimes CNBC will be carrying certain sports, but not the popular ones.

I suspect that you will be limited to highlights unless there is some type of special arrangements that the cruise line can make to get some type of satellite feed. Usually special feeds cost a lot so I think you'll just have to find a station (such as ESPN), if that's availabe on the ship where you get the highlights.

Well, I certainly dont know - but they did show all the Eurocup matches (live and taped) when I was sailing the Legend of the Seas in the Mediterranean.

You also have to remember that the Olympics will not just be on NBC stations but NBC cable networks also so there may be several programs at the same time..

it looks like we will have ESPN, I guess that will be good, just will kind of miss watching it live
