[Football] Football on Cruise ships

[mac04]

I was on a Royal Carribean cruise in the summer. They showed Liverpool v Norwich on the first day of the season, but were unable to show any of the Ashes.
They said it was something to do with licensing, but they couldn't really explain why football was OK, and cricket not.

note to self- next time anyone on NSC wants advice treat them the way they treat you

Calm down. Sounds like you need a holiday

We went on a RC cruise from Southampton last year and I watched Brighton v Man Utd onboard. I think they had every game televised by Sky and BT Sports available. I'd be very surprised if the cup final was not shown.

Thank You

You've been a member on NSC for 15 years and you're surprised at the responses

You said 'member'.

With all due respect to the OP, why the hell would anyone want to be stuck on a boat with a load of CJTCs for days on end, having dullard couple Maureen and Ken from Havant sitting across from you at the dining table breakfast, lunch and dinner; b-list cabaret troupes singing and dancing the songs from the shows, school play standard productions of Phantom of the Opera or Les Mis? My idea of absolute hell.

So we'll put you down as a 'maybe' then?

Well there are a large number of 'members' on NSC, without a doubt

I’d love to see the wife’s response if I took her on a cruise and spent my time watching football!

So you can watch the Cup Final, obvs.

Then, just when you think it can't get any worse, comes the announcement

Ladies & gentlemen, tonight's very special guest, Ms....Jane.....McDONALD!

Puncture all the lifejackets and throw me into the Atlantic.

I was on a cruise for the WC last summer, and didn't miss a game. All were shown on board and also on TVs in cabins.

school play standard productions of Phantom of the Opera or Les Mis.

Poor ol' cruise workers have quite a reputation to shake off.

So a cruise ship travels up to 30 knots, which is pretty the same as the 30 to 40 mph a yoof can kick a ball, therefore you should be able to have a decent game of football on a cruise ship, against yourself

I get sea SICK on Hove Lagoon

 

[dazzer6666]

I will be on a six day cruise starting on Cup Final day with Royal Carribean leaving from Southampton.

Wondering if anyone knows if it will be shown on the ship ?.
