Wihue Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hi, does anyone know if the ships will show the world cup games this November while we are sailing? Would like to see some of the games on the ship but wondering if they will be showing them at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyh21 Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Due solely to the global popularity of the sport I would lean towards yes. However, it ultimately is subject to the satellite feeds that each ship gets so can vary even from ship to ship. However, on Oasis last December they were showing a wide variety of soccer matches. Unfortunately the best and really only proper answer is you'll have to check once you get onboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos A. Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 The 2018 World Cup was broadcasted on Harmony of The Seas and several other ships back then so I hope this time will be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sail almost exclusively in the Summer and have seen several WC's onboard over the years. I'd be shocked if this changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has also been a dedicated World Cup channel in our cabin before that showed live matches and then replays 24/7. One year, probably 2014, they set up a TV somewhere (bar/lounge, my memory is awful) that wouldn't normally have one for a little watch party during a US group stage match. Just sharing past experience... my full answer for this year's WC would be that I would fully expect matches to be shown somewhere but I wouldn't begin to guess where b/c these things definitely change over time.

Ray Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 The Timing of matches could determine a lot due to the time difference. Lunchtime kickoffs would mean it could be 3 or 4 am onboard some cruises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Serenade doing the Baltic Cruise during 2018 World Cup and RC held a World Cup viewing party in the aft Jungle/Congo bar for all the Brits on the ship when the UK team played. There was also a big screen set up in the Schooner bar and every time there was a roar from the viewers the Schooner bar staff went running to the TV to see what the hub bub was about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, as you surmised, the UK includes multiple countries who compete separately in international football (soccer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we are used to it now lol When we did used to qualify ( 74, 78, 82, 86, 90 etc etc ) we used to be home before the postcards we sent Also we only get 2 weeks holiday so we couldnt stay any longer Reason no UK team at events or a Male GB team at the Olympics is that some in power at Fifa and Uefa want it that way all the time! No separate nations just 3 or 4 countries under 1 flag! Bit like the old Soviet Union. But more importantly for us scots we wouldn't be able to support ABE....

United Kingdom ( UK ) comprises the Countries in GB and Northern Ireland ( NI) The British Isles consists of Countries in the UK and Ireland. At Athletic sporting events such as the European or World Championships a GB and NI team is entered however at the Olympics the team is from GB only, NI joins with southern Ireland to compete as a one Ireland team. As mentioned previously international team sports are kept to individual nations! The exception is Rugby Union which has the Barbarians who play tour matches. teddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To some, it's a chip bap or a chip barm or a number or other variations. I, personally, would refer to it as a "roll and chips". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance to accomplish that. Just sign up for an afternoon boarding window and enjoy the game THEN head to the ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
