We were on the Venezia last month when the playoffs were aired. We watched it on the Lido Deck. You can also watch it more comfortably on the deck above the lido, they have chairs and couches, but you will have to get there early to secure those. The best advice I can give you regarding the lido deck, if you are not a drinker or into the bars, is to bring your own large beverage tumblers, as in the evening if you are watching a movie, all drink stations on the lido are closed. You must walk all the way to the back of the ship to get water or juice, that was such a terrible inconvenience, especially for the older cruisers with difficulty walking. Also, the lido deck was cold last month, even with the roof cover closed, so bring something warm to wear. They do provide you with blankets, but warm clothes are the way to go.
