schuylkillp Posted November 19, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2021 We are boarding tomorrow and I want to watch UCLA USC football while still in port and some other games during cruise. What is best place to watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CineGraphic Posted November 19, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2021 There is a new sports betting bar next to the casino with a wall full of screens. Walk into the casino and immediately bear to the left. The screens will be on the wall to your right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is best place to watch? Here's a picture I took of the Double Down Bar on the Majestic Princess back in mid October to Mexico. It's a great place to watch sports, but I just hope they have your game playing on the TV's. We we're watching a NFL game there and they had the same game on every TV. They should be able to show multiple games on the different TV's which would be a lot better. Cheers - Ken & Darlene 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted November 19, 2021 #4 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Just note that there is no guarantee that the game you want will be shown or available to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since neither team is ranked it is unlikely to be picked if there is only 1 game on at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted November 19, 2021 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2021 FOX network - 4:00 eastern = 1:00 Pacific ? are the TV's in the casino on when the ship is in port ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted November 19, 2021 #7 Share Posted November 19, 2021 It depends if Princess has paid for the rights, and if the satellite service Princess uses carries Fox sports. Just ask at the bar if that game is available. I don't think that the ship docking in L.A. and the teams being local has much to do with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they gonna do, show Alabama vs. Arkansas? If it is 1:00 Pacific time it will be up against a perfect Cincinnati or a one loss Notre Dame. Plus both Alabama and Arkansas are ranked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted November 20, 2021 #12 Share Posted November 20, 2021 6 hours ago, CarelessAndConfused said: I suppose the fact that it is a well known rivalry game between 2 schools that play near Majestic's home port and many of the cruisers are from the area might keep some hope alive that it may be shown. Nope. Doesn't make any bit of difference. They can't show something they don't have rights to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidGaCruzers Posted November 20, 2021 #13 Share Posted November 20, 2021 So…since it was brought up, headed out on Sky On Dec 4th which just happens to be the SEC championship game (Go Dawgs). Anyone have any incite on if/where this game could be viewed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esstheman Posted November 20, 2021 #14 Share Posted November 20, 2021 It's always hit and miss. When I was on the Majestic in July, the sports channel in the room was something called "Sports 24", and it had only replays of soccer and rugby games from the previous season, and this was during the Olympics and baseball season. On other Princess ships, however, they would pick up the odd game; I remember watching a Michigan-Michigan State game on a 2016 cruise aboard the Grand Princess. And the game being shown on the picture from the Double Down bar was a Washington-UCLA game from earlier this season, which was on Fox Sports. So who know, maybe you'll get lucky. But the best bet is to use the ship's terrific internet and stream the USC-UCLA game on the Fox Sports app.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekka49 Posted November 20, 2021 #15 Share Posted November 20, 2021 We live in Australia. It would be great to be on any Princess ship and be able to watch any sport on board a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be on the cabin TV. Probably the best chance is to stream from the SEC network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boarding the sky this morning, and there are a couple games I want to be able to watch, including the Michigan State versus Ohio State game.

MidGaCruzers Posted November 20, 2021 #18 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Thanks for the reply’s. Kind of thought streaming might be the best bet. Updates on what they have available today would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
