elmojessi Posted August 13, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2008 This is a silly question, but I’m planning a cruise for a group of friends and due to everyone’s individual schedule restrictions, we are having a hard time finding an itinerary that works for all of us. I did find that a Feb 1st departure could work for us, however, a few friends INSIST on being in town during the Super Bowl. I think I could sweet talk them into this sailing if they were able to watch the Super Bowl at the Sea Side Theater that they are installing on several of the ships. Does anyone know if it will be broadcasted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_duck Posted August 13, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2008 They usually do, and usually on the big screen if there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemurCat Posted August 13, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I would think so. We took one of our cruises during the Stanley Cup finals, and we got the bar manager to devote the sports bar to Game 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzski Posted August 13, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2008 My mom and sis cruised on Destiny (out of San Juan) this year and they even delayed the muster drill so everyone could watch the Super Bowl. So, that should not be a factor for your group. Good luck with the planning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Doug Posted August 13, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2008 We cruised a couple of years ago during the Super Bowl. Ir was on a ship without one of the big screens. They did open the back lounge and projected the Super Bowl on a big screen. Also the sports bar and most of the bar TV's had the game one. The had Super Bowl specials on drinks and buckets of beer. The only down side was we were at sea so the signal kept going in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted August 13, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2008 We had a HUGE Superbowl party on the Imagination earlier this year. Every available public screen (except the main stage...because they did still have shows going on) had the game on it. Carnival put out free "football" food on the Promenade for easy access etc .... it was great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted August 13, 2008 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2008 We have watched the Superbowl on three Carnival cruises. On the Conquest in 2003 the game was shown on a Giant screen in the Toulouse-Lautrec lounge. :) You will be able to watch the game in several venues onboard so relax and enjoy the game.

KatSt Posted August 13, 2008 #8 Share Posted August 13, 2008 In 2005 I was cruising on the Spirit during the Super Bowl. They showed the game in the big show lounge. The snacks they served were great and free. The only thing you had to pay for was the liquor (of course). It was one of the best Super Bowl parties I had ever been to.

nolaAlive Posted August 13, 2008 #9 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Even if they don't have a big screen, they set one up. On Pride they had a whopper in the main show lounge and showed in several locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDavis23 Posted August 13, 2008 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Those pictures are great! Do they televise the regular season football games? We wil be on the Carnival Spirit December 7th and would love to watch Seattle on the nightly game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted August 13, 2008 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I've watched SAINTS games in my cabin on a few cruises....so I'm sure they'll have the Superbowl game. Geaux Saints!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolaAlive Posted August 13, 2008 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Unless there is a large home crowd (like the Saints) or a special game, they usually don't do anything special. But there is a sports bar and there might be other TVs set up besides your cabin. It would have to be on a channel they receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
