Live Premiership Football Aboard Eclipse?

[streetspirit]

I was wondering if anyone knew if the Ship broadcasted live football (soccer) in any of the lounge areas or on the TV in the cabin? I'll be boarding the ship in October but I can't not go without footie :(

[Mines]

Highly unlikely.

 

But, the good news is that you can go without football - it is just a question of state of mind. Tape the matches and watch them later.

I will be on the Equinox next Friday and I will be looking for the Spurs Match against Man Utd next Monday, I will let You know how I get on, worst case could be the case of streaming it on the internet but that could get a little costly...

Get a life! You are on vacation. If it's such a big thing then cruise in the soccer off season.

Alternatively buy a wi-fi package and watch it online, please don't subject other passengers to having to watch a mindless game of 22 overpaid morons chasing a bag of pumped up air

[Brad1185]

I can predict the final score before the game happens 1 - 0.

Get 'a' life - or get THE life you decide? Some people love their footy (I am one of them) and would love to watch onboard - thereby combining 2 loves - cruising and watching sports ... make that 4 (drink and snack alongside).

 

Just saying. ;)

We were on Equinox during the last world cup ... The most active venue for watching was in the casino ... People were getting into it! More people watching than playing the games :D.

I'm on the ship for 16 nights. I don't think it's causing any harm by watching a few games. The 'off season' as you put it tends to be more costly and as I'm a wheelchair user it can be more difficult to book. I can't just take 'any' room.

 

You're entitled to an opinion but don't assume everyone else carries that opinion too. That judgement is just ignorant and rude. If there is no football on I can live with that. I've been on the Independence Of The Seas twice and the Aurora once and was able to watch live footie in the bars.

Thanks! A Spurs win would be nice :-)

I would LOVE to see the responses if you posted this on the thread discussing watching the Superbowl on their cruise.

I'd rather not watch football of any type myself, but it's a favourite activity for most men and many women around the world, so it's a bit bizarre to imply that watching it will ruin a vacation.

[tg1]

Without diversity of interests, we would all be in the same place at the same time. Nobody would like that and, on a ship, we might even get wet!

GET A LIFE? Dude, get a clue...it's the most watched sport in the world...chill

Right, it's impossible to enjoy something else while on a cruise. :rolleyes:

 

Don't go to a show, you need to have a life!

My god, you're going to explore a port, but you're on vacation!

How can you possibly read that book, it will obviously ruin your cruise experience!

 

I believe the OP knows exactly what they'd like to do to enjoy their life. Simply because you don't agree with it...well, so what...??

 

Wish I could help the OP, but no idea at the moment, sorry. However, if I find anywhere while I'm on the Equinox in a few weeks, I'll try to report it back. After all, I would also find watching some EPL an enjoyable use of some of my vacation time!

[CFamilyWales]

Dylandude,

I think You need to get a life, just because someone else in the world appreciates something you don`t, what a sad individual...

 

The OP asked for factual information not a comment, so if You cannot provide the detail, why both expressing such a negative opinion...somebody take your ball off you as a kid or what ??? :(

 

The sport happens to be enjoyed by a great number of men and women across the world, if we can see games on the cruise great, if not. no big deal. Jog on...

What are the chances of Celebrity showing The Ryder Cup, live, on board their ships later this year?

 

So.....someone who wants to watch their favourite sport whilst cruising needs to get a life?

 

Anyone seen a spare petard?

[Captain Jake]

I've seen International sports channels like ESPNI on ships .What matches they show I wouldn't know

Okay, I tried to be good and resist, but really? Someone who is worried about his golf tournament is complaining about someone else's desire to "subject other passengers to having to watch a mindless game of 22 overpaid morons chasing a bag of pumped up air"? Really?

 

Sort of on topic: How does Celebrity not have a sports bar? I can understand the desire of people who are not sports fans to not want to have to sit through it and that's why sports bars were invented. My perception of society may be skewed; I do live in Washington, D.C., after all, where the universe even for the wealthy and powerful stops for the (American) football season, but I can't imagine how an up(per)-scaled sports bar wouldn't fit in with Celebrity's image.

On Silhouette Michaels Club has been turned into a sports bar with wraparaound bar, 50 beers and a big 42" TV.

Totally uncalled for. Seriously you need to get a clue!! The most watched sport on the planet. You wouldnt want to go on a cruise oh lets say anywhere in Europe, South America, AUS and maybe even Mexico. If there is a match on I can guarantee people will be watching it somewhere on the ship. If the ship gets the match. Me being a Chelsea supporter, I will ask for the match to be put on one of the TV's. I dont really care if the whole ship has to watch the match! At least I will be happy as many other cruisers will be too!!! Up the Blues!!!!!

Hi, when I first started sailing Celebrity in 2003 I was on CENTURY

and at that time they did have a Sportsbar. Over the next few years

they decided to change/remove them. On Century the Sportsbar

was removed and turned into a larger Martini Bar. The original Martini

Bar was in the corner of "The Crystal Room". This one does alot more

business.

 

How can Celebrity not offer them? I guess they feel like they have

done ok without them but now have changed a bit again.....the

newer S class ships are having new ones located in the Michael's

Club location. I guess they will find out how well things go after

it is all implemented.

 

And I agree with those who said Dylandude's reply was totally

uncalled for:eek:..

[thezode]

I was on a Med cruise a couple of years ago on Millennium and as able to find a bar showing the Champions League Final. Also, last year on RCCL there was a bar showing EPL matches, so there's a good chance you'll find a match somewhere.

Originally I could not find this thread so made a new thread however in reply as promised :

 

Unfortunately I did not get to see the matches during our trip, the Casino had boxing and baseball of AF on but that was the only time we saw sport.

I contacted Guest Relations and they advised the game on the Monday evening would not be shown anywhere on the ship... just as well in the end !

 

I was at Pompei for the Spurs/Man City game, the result was painful enough, never mind watch for 90 minutes.:(
