While I have never seen a NASCAR event on MUTS, one could always hope if you follow the sport. Do you have the date correct? I don’t recall the Datona 500 taking place on Christmas day.

I'd say not very good although you might see a little of it on your cabin TV.

Last 10 laps is all I need probably in the wheelhouse bar

It's held in February this year, so probably February next year.

I was cruising with some folks who were interested in sprint cup,

which was being shown on espn.

(this was on a cruise from Ft. Lauderdale)

Sprint Cup wasn't available on the ship because the ship had

something like 'ESPN Carribbean', which was different than

ESPN in the US.

Your mileage may vary. Objects in the mirror may be closer than

they appear. etc

I am thinking the OP put an extra 1 and incorrect 5 in there...it should be 2/26/17.

Yep, that's the race date.

Nope...record it at home. It's VERY unlikely to be shown on a ship....now, soccer...that's a different story....24/7, or so it seems!

I agree, most likely not.

Probably not. It is not mentioned as one of the sporting events in the Princess FAQ's. It depends if Princess has the license from Fox to pick up the signal and show it. If your ship has Club Fusion it might be shown there at the bar, if it is carried by ESPN International. However, Club Fusion is not normally open mid afternoon, and especially if the day is a port day.

Along with a movie channel featuring a wide selection of first-run movies, we also provide the latest sitcoms and dramas, an onboard version of the Discovery Channel, and a wide selection of special programming, including the Academy Awards®. Plus, for sports fans, we offer several major sporting events such as the Super Bowl® , BCS college bowl games, NBA Finals and the NCAA basketball tournament."

I've sailed on race day in the past and I've never seen it on MUTS or anywhere on the ship. As load as some of the movies are I can only imagine what a NASCAR race would sound like if the cranked it up!

We are avid nascar fans and have never seen a race on the ship. As mentioned earlier, ESPN is not the same. They do report the outcomes of the race on several sports shows that we have seen on the ship.

I didn't realize that. Now I'll have to take a look just to see if it's in any of the bars.

I'm right there with ya! A little DW goes a looooong way!

The Daytona 500 is on Sunday February 26th and will be broadcast by FOX. I will be on the Crown Princess that day on a Sea Day so it would be nice but I am not counting on it.
