  1. It appears that you will be cruising on Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas out of LA.  That is one of RC's older and smaller ships and it does not have a sports bar.  So whether you will be able to see the game is questionable.  

    I have been on cruises when they did show football games that everyone wanted to see on TV's in the sports bar.  Other times they did not.  While your cabin will have a TV, many times the cabin reception is different from the sports bar.  And, sometimes the ships' satellite systems just does not pick up ESPN or the other channels that the game may be on, especially if you are in Mexican waters (you are likely to get soccer instead).


  2. No

  3. The ships all have sports bars, with TVs playing various games/sports.  We cruised during World Series time and they had the games on.  The Cup being a major event, I would think they would be showing it, but you never know for sure.

  4. Unfortunately, the networks with rights to the Stanley Cup finals are NBC and Versus (not ESPN).

    Only Carnival gets NBC (they have some special agreement), and I've never seen Versus on any cruise line.

    Sorry for the bad news.

  5. First off....GO HOCKEY!! and GO RED WINGS!!!!!! :-)) As for showing the game they probably will. Royal Caribbean will do almost anything to make their guests happy. They are a great cruise line. We went on the oldest ship they had(now retired) and they took on of the lounges and showed the SuperBowl on Sunday. Obviously that is a little bigger than play offs to some people but if you ask once your on board i bet they will put it on. Also your prob. not the only ones who want the game! Hey its always worth it to ask. They are a super great cruise line!! Just call before or ask once your on the ship....Have fun!!

  6. If the tv channels they have onboard show the games they will but not otherwise. I was at a cruise this weekend but they didnt show the games in the world championchip. So keep your fingers crossed if youre a hockey fan. Johan
