Football Season Poll

I remember the last time we were on the Magic, they were showing the Texans losing in the sports/casino bar, and then they showed the Aggies on the big screen lol

Show the games on the BIG SCREEN! Football is the most popular sport in America. I have seen WAY MORE PEOPLE on deck watching football games then I ever see out there watching movies. There are plenty of other nights during a week long cruise to show movies.

I don't want to sit in my cabin during the cruise to watch football, I can do that at home on a much bigger screen tv. But being able to watch a game under the stars while cruising through the ocean? Thats awesome!

ESPN is not even available in cabin (nor will it be for cost reasons I'm sure!) So cabin watching is not even an option for Monday Night Football.

Why stop here... lets also include NBA games, the MLB Playoffs and World Series, Golf tournaments, etc... :)

None of these events equal the ratings for most REGULAR SEASON NFL games. The NFL is far and away more popular than the other sports. While I agree things like the NBA Finals, and World Series could be shown on the big screen. Regular season baseball, basketball, hockey, etc should not. and Golf? really? does anyone still watch that on tv??

Sports bars are for sports.

Big NFL fan here and I agree.

My choice wasn't listed.

 

 

 

0 Get rid of big screen altogether

There was a reason that was not listed.

Anyone know which CBS station is available on the ship? Does it vary by ship/port? I'm hoping to watch the Seahawks/Raiders game on embarkation day. The game is on CBS at 1:25 PT, but CBS also has the Broncos/Patriots game at the same time.

Movie theatres are for movies. :)

You said exactly what I was going to say.

As long as I can watch the game anywhere I'm thrilled.

So true

Manning's is a sports restaurant owned by the Manning men. It's near the cruise terminal on Fulton St.

Oh no. I guess we will end up there then. He is a big fan of Peyton Manning. Me not so much. I prefer Brady :)

Also, I have to agree with all those that say SEC is the best. (Go Mizzou)

Used to be Denver affiliate and now it is Miami affiliate, at least on the east coast. Not sure about west coast departures. While down in the Caribbean, we have picked up the USVI affiliate many times, and a majority of it was in Spanish.

As long as they don't show Dallas Cowboys games:rolleyes:

NFL is easily the most popular sport in the USA. On most of Carnival's cruises, Americans are primarily the dominant travelers. It makes complete sense to put the most watched sport, by the biggest group of people aboard on the biggest screen at night. I dont know how many of you have been to the "sports bars" during football seasons, buts its nearly impossible to get a seat in there.

This! On the money right here!

and lets not forget the popularity of fantasy football as well. So even people who may not be able to watch their favorite local team onboard are still interested in the games that are being shown and seeing scores and stats from other games to follow their fantasy teams.

The popularity of the NFL continues to grow and is far more popular than every other sport in the USA. Regular season NFL games out rate basically everything else in NFL all the time. And Playoff and Super Bowl ratings are astronomically higher than THAT even!

If these cruise lines really want to capitalize on the popularity of the NFL they should partner with one of the off shore gaming companies and offer a sports book at sea! Think of the endless revenue stream that would be!

I disagree. The ACC is the best conference for football. :D

Yes Sir ACC# 1.FSU is going to do it again..........

FSU would be 5-3 if they played in the SEC.

Amen and only won the bcs because auburn decided not to show up. Come on carnival put saturday games on the big screen lol.

Huge sports fan and love football. I voted sports bar because I love the atmosphere in sports bars. Not everyone on the ship is and as long as there is a great place to watch the game I am good to go. No need to make everyone else have to do the like.

That's right! Hard to make out but this is from my cruise last Nov where they showed LSU-Texas A&M on the big screen. Great atmosphere!

FSU would be 5-3 if they played in the SEC.

Did you know that FSU played the weakest schedule of any champion in the BCS era? Why? Because they got to play other ACC teams! :D

College football on the big screen! Loved relaxing on Lido and watching SEC football on the Conquest last October.

I usually don't check out the theater until the cruise is almost over. Not the best movies that are available. That would change if NFL was on only two nights. I most likely would go there. The EA sports lounge is small on The Sunshine. It's near the shopping area, that's what I thought it was until someone pointed it out.
