rsquared11 Posted August 18, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I had two thoughts watching the Jamaican teams blowing through track and field the other night. 1) Has anyone been docked in a country during the Olympics that has had some huge victory (like Jamaica right now with all of their success)? 2) Have you been on the ship and watched the Olympics with someone who is watching their country compete? Not only guests but staff as well (I'm thinking of my favorite Jamaican bartenders watching track, or my Australian massage therapist who loved swimming). Completely random thread and thoughts, but I thought there may be some interesting responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsquared11 Posted August 18, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Wow, didn't realize that. I have fond memories of watching the Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup finals on the ship a couple of years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTourist Posted August 18, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I believe the olympics are only shown on NBC and their affiliates, and RCCL does not broadcast NBC. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baylivin Posted August 18, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2008 We're just back from the med cruise on Legend of the Seas and we were able to watch the olympics. It was great. During the basketball game between China and Spain, threre were a group of passengers from each of those countries cheering on their team. The olympics were showing in almost all the lounges with TV's. Marcia from Hampton,VA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there more events now 2. Spitz did not enter as many races as Phelps did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsquared11 Posted August 21, 2008 Author #11 Share Posted August 21, 2008 It sounds like soon they can hold the diving competition on the Oasis. Maybe add competitive zip lining. If anybody is going on the Mariner soon be sure to tell Brian from Jamaica (bartender upstairs) that he was right about Bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitz entered and won four individual events and three relays, Phelps entered and won five individual events and three relays. All the events Phelps entered were in the Olympics in 1972.
