Hockey in Sports Bar ?

[IMSAILING]

I know the in cabin channels don't have very good content these days. Wondering if the sports bar will show hockey or just basketball. Do they show more than one game at a time ?

[IMSAILING]

I'm talking next week - playoffs

You'll have to ask them if they can get it. Generally you only see ESPN channels. They'll likely have all of the TVs on ESPN and ESPN2. I know they have a special deal to get the NFL games. And they had the NLCS and World Series on when I cruised on Panorama in 2021. I don't think I've ever heard about them having a special deal to get the hockey playoffs. I do know they have some weird versions of ESPN channels that have sporting events that aren't on our ESPN channels. I would say you'd have to ask them at the time, but I would go in with low expectations.

Agree with Saint Greg, go in with low expectations, then be pleasantly surprised if they have it on, our experiences on various ships during Stanley Cup Playoffs have been “hit or miss.” (Currently 4-2 Panthers with 2:49 left - yikes.)

Hope to See Panthers and Maple Leafs next week on Horizon

I've been on plenty of cruises in early May and have watched many NHL playoff games on in the sports bar. I haven't paid too deep of attention of which ones they're showing because its never the Sabres. 

[Homosassa]

Just find some drunks fighting in one of the ship's lounges.  Maybe a hockey  game will break out....

[Colorado Beach Bum]

Was able to watch Avs during playoffs last year on Panorama.  Was shown on their espn channel even though it was not an espn game that night.  I thought for sure we wouldn’t see it but we were able to.

Hope the game is on. Think it was the bar where Pig and Anchor is on deck 17.

I hope so we are on the Celebration next week, I may live in NC but still a Canadian citizen from Windsor and will be looking for it, otherwise I'm thinking of bringing my iPad to stream it

Tv consist of Discovery channel, HGTV, Food network, CBS news, TCM, Cartoon network, Nick, and Travel Channel. They should change the name of the Travel channel to the Paranormal channel.

At least on the Celebration this week.

On the horizon last week. No hockey only basketball and baseball in the sports bar.  Disappointed .  Had to try to catch the scrolling scores.

Make friends with the bartender in the sportsbar the first day and if they get the game you have a shot.

 

Otherwise I'm sure there will be more people looking for NBA playoffs and MLB games.

That’s a good thought. Every time I went in there before on this ship I had a choice between Soccer and Cricket   One drink and I was out of there. 🥅🏒

Bartender on our last cruise during the play-offs put the hockey on one TV in the corner but no sound as there was football on.  He did the same with the Brier.
