Currently on Queen Victoria, sometimes in the Wintergarden and usually on the several screens in the Golden Lion,
- and certainly was a year ago on QM2 in the 'sandwich making' area aft in the Kings Court and in the Golden Lion, (not the Wintergarden)
- and almost certainly on QE, the following are shown:
All the top UK premiership games, UEFA and Champions League games mostly involving UK teams - as well as Cup finals, and International games.
There's no reason to doubt why this isn't still the case!
The big Final (is it American football, or base ball??) in the US (usually in February) traditionally turns the Golden Lion into a great, late party night for the Americans, some never even got to bed as we sailed across the Pacific!
'Tis always a little strange watching footie on QV, as opposed to watching in the stadium, or in pubs - there is almost always no sound from the audience, they sit very quietly, mixed club allegiances, or none - and there are usually only mutters when there's a goal.. it took some doing for some of us
to stay quiet when a much needed goal was scored. At times there was just a sense of moderated scorn - sadly, no good banter!
Games are also shown in Cabins, as are F1 races...The timing of games shown round the world is sometimes different, and as the ship is dependent on satellite comms, there is occasionally a big glitch - sometimes even at a crucial moment! I think that the Officers and Crew also have access to the same service from SKY.
To keep to the Topic - do we really need football coverage... Yes! There are plenty of other places for the non-footie fans to go, and on QV, the Golden Lion is pretty well sound-proofed
