Olympics on ships?

Does anyone know Oceania will be broadcasting any of the Olympics on the ships? It would be nice to see some of the events when we have some free time. :)

We have been pleasantly surprised with the TV feed on our past Riviera and Marina sailings in the Med and Baltic. We were not expecting much of anything and were able to catch up on news and sports at some odd hours and also on delay during prime time. Baseball, hockey, and football highlights and scores seemed to be available at acceptable intervals.

 

However, we don't remember any sporting event being offered in entirety. But the Olympics are so very special world wide that we are hoping we will get some of those events or at least highlights. And even another language would be acceptable :D.

 

Also wondering if it depends on where your ship may be and even which ship you are on. Feb. 18 we are leaving for the "Pearls of the Orient" sailing on Nautica out of Hong Kong and that is a smaller and older ship that will not be refurbished until a bit later in the year. And the feeds we got in Med and Baltic are not necessarily the feeds we may get in the Far East.

 

If you find out more on this topic, would you be so kind as to post back to this thread?

 

With or without the Olympics---enjoy your cruise! :)

We will be on the Marina and since there will be quite a few days at sea it sure would be nice to watch the Olympics during some of our down time. Hope that O will make it happen for all of us. :):)

There are 2 English sports channels on board. I'm sure you'll find Olympic coverage there.
