American football fans do not want to give up watching NFL games even when they are on vacation.
Doing so on a cruise, however, is not always so easy. The signal is not stable and some channels are difficult to receive.
Will you then be able to watch the games on Carnival ships? The cruise line has specified what will happen.
NFL on Carnival
Good news for all the NFL fans who will travel on a Carnival ship.
The cruise line has announced that it will take part in the NFL Syndication and Sunday Ticket package.
This means that on the ships you’ll be able to watch all the NFL and college football matches that are shown on ESPN.
Will you be able to watch the games in your cabin?
Unfortunately, there are currently no plans to broadcast the signal in the cabins.
The 2024/2025 season will only be visible in public areas of the ship, particularly in some lounges and sports bars.
Additionally, the company specified that no broadcasts on large screens are planned, in order to allow other entertainment activities on the ship.
Of course, there will be an exception for the Super Bowl, which should be broadcast on the big pool deck screen or in theaters.
For example, on Carnival Jubilee which is the biggest in the Carnival ranking by size, last year it was shown in the main theater and it was so much fun.
The partnership between Carnival and the NFL
In a Facebook post, Carnival Brand Ambassador said:
For all our NFL fans, we are very happy to announce that for the 2024-2025 NFL football season we will show the games that are broadcast on the ESPN network have the NFL Syndication and Sunday Ticket package. This means we will have Monday Night and ummm, Thursday Night football.
In addition, the cruise line has an agreement to show 12 college football games per week:
Now on to college football. This season we have an agreement to show 12 games per week during the 14-week season that is more specific to the home ports in our US itineraries. Now I have sod all idea what that means as my knowledge of college sports is probably the same as many of you reading this and your knowledge of cricket. However, I am sure this is fabulous news for college football fans,
Will you travel with Carnival? Remember to check the cabins to avoid on every Carnival ship.
