Will I be able to watch March Madness basketball games in my Carnival ship stateroom?
It depends on the TV station the games are being shown on and if Carnival carries that stateroom in the guest rooms. Your best bet to watch the game will be in the designated bar or lounge. It may get crowded so you may want to consider arriving early to make sure you get a good seat .

Is this also going to be shown on ships out of Australia?
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get confirmation that this will take place on cruises out of Australia. The March Madness celebration information is only listed on the Carnival Cruise USA website.

Just A Note About Watching Games Onboard:
While Carnival's website states that the games are planned to be shown, if there is a satellite connection issue or problem getting a particular TV station the game may not be able to show. There is always a risk something changes or goes wrong. If this happens, I am sorry for the disappointment you will feel if something goes wrong, but hopefully you still can enjoy the cruise.
