NFL on ACC Journey

I was wondering if we're able to watch televised football games some place on the Journey or possibly in our stateroom. I'm looking at a couple of noon games which would be shown at 7:00 P.M., Italy time.

Sometimes yes sometimes no - typically not live there are also a number of European ports where transmission is not great so they tend not to be able to access the range of channels from before.

What was the position on your last Azamara trip - expect it to be the same as then in terms of overall sports coverage

Azamara focus much more on the destination and therefore are less focused on sports watchers so I would work on the basis you might have to miss a few games viewing

Thanks, uktog,

No, I did not see any sports on our last cruise, or on X either. Guess I'll have to start cruising before football season starts. ;)

On my recent 14 nights on the Journey, there were no sporting events on my tv. The tv offerings were extremely limited. I was surprised that the offerings were so limited. On my recent Celebrity cruises, we watched many sporting events. In January, we were cruising on the Eclipse during the football playoffs. Great reception. Loved watching the games.

Remember the flurry of posts about US football games interfering with Max in the casino lounge?! So yes, they do show some games depending on time and location and importance of game. We saw the 2013 superbowl early am in Hong Kong. There were also some other sports broadcasts on our March 2014 West Indies cruise.

October 2012 Rome to Athens on Journey they were airing my NY Giants vs 49ers on FOX. I was in heaven. We won.

After being out all day, little did we know the Packers were being televised...only found out after DH played around with the tv and found NFL games...had we known we would have seen our team earlier...lucily we did win. Maybe I can catch it on NFL station replay.

It really depends on where you are and what sattelite service is available to the ship, as well aswhat they have subscribed to. Several years ago I believe they had gotten a questionable ( but I'm not complaining! ) service for the Super Bowl, but it was only in Spanish, and when the commercials were on theree was no signal, at all. They did go all out to provide a continuous buffet service in all the venues on he ship.

I would suggest that you search out one of the audiovisual staff and find out what will be shown. The Activities Manager should also know.
