    I don't know how much Rockets watching I'd get away with while on vacation. It's the whole, like, marriage thing. But maybe she'd read something on her Kindle and half-watch the game while I gnash my teeth and pull my hair and scream at the TV. Or maybe she'd actually watch the game: it's the playoffs, after all.

    If the Rockets defy the odds and are still playing in four weeks, I'll have to put this to the test when we're on our vacation (albeit with dry land beneath our feet).

    Think their tvs are based out of Miami. But the games are on TNT and espn. You should be okay. I remember seeing tvs at the bars.

    My phone was pretty useless on the cruise. No service on the ocean and still had to pay the rapacious Wi-Fi charge to do anything.

    As someone that has been on Carnival boats before:

    There is a sports bar on *every* boat. Grab a map. Find the bar. Go to the bar. The bar will have the playoffs on the tv. Watch the tv. Enjoy life.

    fwiw, I have never bought a drink at the bar, don't let them pressure you into doing it. You already spent your hard-earned cash to get on the boat, you don't need to spend anymore you don't want to.

    And have fun! I love cruises, they are the best!!

    How's the cruise, brah? If you respond, I'll assume you got raped by Carnival for the WiFi lol.

    if the Breeze has the Funship 2.0 upgrade (with blue iguanna and Guy's Burgers) there is an ESPN sports bar on board.

    Guy's Burger's was shockingly awesome. Expected chit and got greatness. I had at least 10 Pig Patty's.

    I think I'm on the same cruise as you, just a week or two later.

    I leave May 14th.


    It's my fourth cruise. Let the haters hate. They're fun.

    I love cruising, first one was '09 and have been one almost every year since, definitely worth it especially if you can get those 5 day cruises for $200 and 7 day ones for around $400-500

    Should be good with the EA Sports bar if they are still sporting those themed Sports Bars

    I missed the first quarter and some of the second quarter for both Games 1 and 2. I ended up watching those games in my cabin since TNT was available. Sadly ESPN wasn't available in my cabin so I ended up going to Red Frog to watch it. However I ended up in a sea of Spurs fan. I represented Rockets red until the last seconds to no avail. Hopefully we will get them tonight. Thank you for all the suggestions, they were all taken into considersation!

    I've been on two Carnival cruises and they were far and away the best vacations I've ever been on. Hope you're enjoying it!

    Just got back today. The excursions we took were fun. Our server was superb. I love most of the food. It was a great experience overall. We will be coming back this coming October.
