My husband and I will be sailing also
enj your trip 

Just put a hold on a reservation today and placing deposit tomorrow. It'll be my second cruise ever and first on Royal Caribbean. Our first was the NCL Prima last December and we can't wait to get back on a ship!

I am sailing on the Odyssey of the Seas from Fort Lauderdale starting on Dec 9-17. Looking forward to connecting with other passengers for the trip of a lifetime! 

7 more days to go...

We just booked for this sailing too and am so amped! 2nd time on OTS to Alaska but 1st in Ketchikan. Booking our excursions via 3rd party sites to save some money, especially on whale watching tours in Juneau!

I just booked too!  So excited for this one.  Our room came down to 1300pp for the balcony.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I use Surfshark as well.  I was planning on watching through f1 tv app.  I'm sure ill get it without trouble.
Thanks for the suggestions and help everyone!

No need to watch it, we already know the GOAT will win:
 

If you really want to see it bring your own device and stream it. We were looking forward to an F1 race on our Allure sailing in May, ESPN2 even advertised it was showing. We set up our CLS for the race with snacks & such and settled in ready for a fun race while at sea. Well no, they showed tennis I think. We left the cabin and traveled around the ship to see if it was being shown else where and it was not. I would plan for it not to be shown and come prepared, if it is then it's an added bonus. It was a different ESPN2 feed then ours back in Florida, have a great sailing!

They can't please everybody and play all the sports customers want to see.
My suggestion is bring your own devise with you and watch Formula 1 on it.  I know it isn't the same things as watching it on a large screen TV but if it is your own devise then at least you have control over what is playing.

Aside from the medication, ginger candy or chews are amazing.  I periodically go on multiple day deep sea fishing trips and the chews really work quick.  You can order them on amazon or pick some up from a CVS.  Take them as needed and as frequently as you like, its candy so no worry of dizziness or overdosing.

Very hard to predict what will/wont be available in Playmakers.
Just did Independence over the weekend and there was a lot of grumbling with the Florida game not being shown on Saturday night (despite being the ESPN game) and then the FSU/LSU game not being planned to show on Sunday night.
Weekend cruises from Florida have a high % of Florida residents so there were a fair number of people expecting to see their team.
They seem to be sticking with the ESPN Caribbean feed more at the moment.

This isn't always the case but, generally speaking, Playmakers opens at 10:30ish on sea days and 1:00 pm on port days. The bar is open until 1 am, so you might be able to catch at least some of the replay. (Be sure to eat ahead of time--the bar is open, but they stop serving food around 11 pm.) The ESPN access in the rooms on Royal Caribbean ships is always wonky (sometimes you get regular ESPN or ESPN2, sometimes just ESPN Caribbean), so even then I can't promise you'll be able to get it. I was on a cruise last spring with a friend who got an internet package for the express purpose of streaming a race he really wanted to watch. 😄
