Default TV on Ecstasy

Does anyone know if they have ABC on the Ecstasy? Leaving on Dec. 3rd and don't want to miss Big 12 Championship game.

Yep... you'll have the major networks available. The feed is out of Denver...

When we were in Costa Rica, the stations were Denver stations as well. I wonder why?
I'm from Colorado, and we of course watch Denver Channels all the time. I do not plan to watch TV on our cruise. The guy in Manuel Antonio said that he was totally up on Denver because he watched their news all the time. How funny!

DH got bored while waiting for me to shower and dress one evening on the Ecstasy and found that there were many more channels than what they had programed into the tv. He just started manually putting number in and found like 10 more channels.

Definantly not a game to miss out on. Enjoy your cruise and good luck to the Horns.


I'll be rooting for my Huskers though!

It's a couple of things... contractual and the feed that they get...

The satellite system that's common to Carnival ships is kinda old and the network stations out of Denver are pretty much the only feed they can still get.

One of my friends at Carnival told me they're working on a system upgrade...
