WhiteSoxFan Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I can't say definitively that you will but we cruised during the NFL playoffs and there were venues that had the games on. On the Allure they had them on the big screens in the aquatheater as well as the On-Air club. On the Jewel they had them on in the bar by the casino. IIRC they were listed in the Compass.

melski94 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 If you must watch the World Series, you will want to purchase Voom and stream it. RC carries ESPN Caribbean. If it is carried on ESPN Caribbean then you should be able to see it. You could check out ESPN programming guide a few weeks before your cruise. We've seen March Madness games on the ship by the pool and in lounges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted August 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Fox will be telecasting the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 ESPN Caribbean is not like ESPN on the US mainland. It's an international feed and typically will carry major sporting events like the World Series. MLB has been known to get really picky about who is licensed to carry their games. They went through a phase where Fox in Puerto Rico wasn't allowed to broadcast them even though Fox on the mainland was. This is all in the hands of MLB who likes to drive people to buy their online internet feeds. In the past they have been available on ships but if they aren't this year, blame MLB, not the ship.

Pooch Posted August 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Sorry, life long baseball (and football) fan here. I don’t find it boring. But if I really want to stir this pot, lets talk soccer, a sport made for 6 year olds to have some way to burn off excess energy. 90 minutes of watching men kick balls back and forth everywhere but that enormous goal. Just joshing around here guys. Everyone has their favorite sport. Just hoping I can watch mine on my cruise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK6404 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Back in 2015, they showed the World Series all over the ship (we were on Liberty of the Seas)... I remember watching part of the Mets/Royals WS on the pool deck on the big screen a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWhoWaits Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 15 hours ago, Pooch said: ok so what is a sixer??? A six (slangily referred to as a "sixer") is scored when a batted ball clears the boundary on the fly. Slightly analogous to a baseball home run, except that a six is always worth six points whereas a home run will score anywhere from one to four depending on the situation.
