CrazyforCruisin Posted January 10, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hi, My DH just informed me that we will be at sea on the Oosterdam on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb 6th. Does anyone know if they will broadcast the game in any of the lounges or in the room? Thanks! Jodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted January 10, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2005 In the past the SuperBowl game has been broadcast from a lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNeal Posted January 10, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I will be with you on that cruise. I'm wondering how they'll present it, too. That's the evening of the first sea-day on that cruise, and hence it is probably going to be a Formal Night. So ... I wonder how they'll deal with the game. Perhaps they'll have it projecting on the screen in the Queen's Lounge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they'll have it projecting on the screen in the Queen's Lounge? I can see it now! A lounge full of formal-dressed people jumping up and down and yelling things like "Tackle the SOB"! "What's the matter with you, you are running like a girl! "Gimme another beer"! "Wow, look at the b--bs on that cheerleader" "I can see why they call him a Tight End" (thats my favorite one!) :D Have fun you guys, I am just jealous because we have to watch it at home. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as, "Dinner? We'll call room service later!" :rolleyes: -dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyforCruisin Posted January 11, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi, I had the same vision! My DH in his tux yelling at the big screen. LOL! I just want him to have a good time and if watching the Stuper Bowl is important than go for it. I can always climb up on the bar stool next to him in my formal and have a beer too! We have late dinner seating so maybe that will help. Hope to see you on the ship. PS doing the Doc dance today! Whopee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailorskip Posted January 12, 2005 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2005 The only sports channel on their tv is ESPN Deportivos - in the "Sports Bar" as well. I sailed on her in December. Only football was that broadcast, in English, on that spanish ESPN sports channel. They would have to arrange for some type of feed for the Super Bowl.

I believe ESPN has the non-US broadcast rights.... (That's how we got to see the World Series) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted January 12, 2005 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2005 This is true about the International ESPN, but in past years, they had a feed for the Superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven2 Posted January 12, 2005 #10 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Two years ago we were on the Volendam. The game was in the movie theater complete with a buffet of hot dogs, popcorn, etc. Drinks were available. It was a great way to watch the game. Nobody went hungry or thirsty.

lee-gold Posted January 13, 2005 #11 Share Posted January 13, 2005 We fly from Canada, and board the Westerdam on February 6. Will there be big crowds travelling through the airports that day? We know nothing about the Superbowl - except that a few years ago our luggage was lost until 2 weeks after our return home! Not easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip217 Posted January 14, 2005 #12 Share Posted January 14, 2005 My friends on the Oosterdam tell me that a special Satellite feed has been arranged. The superbowl will be aired on a big screen in one of the lounges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
