March Madness On A Carnival Cruise: Watching Basketball On The Cruise Ships

1/13/2023

 
Carnival Breeze Lido Seaside Theater
       If you are going on a Carnival Cruise during March Madness and want to watch the basketball games you should be in luck. This post will take a look at what Carnival says about showing the March Madness games on their cruise ships. In 2023 March Madness is scheduled to take place throughout the March 14 - April 3 timeframe per the NCAA. 

Will the March Madness basketball games be shown on Carnival Cruise ships? 
            Yes, according to Carnival's website the March Madness games will be televised in select bar locations. Additionally, Carnival's website states that the Final Four and Championship Game could be shown on the Seaside Theater. The Seaside Theater is not available on all ships. 

If I am cruising during March Madness how can I find out where the games will be shown? 
                
There are multiple ways for you to find out where the March Madness games will be shown while you are on the ship. The Carnival Hub App may have the game time & location listed. You can also check with Guest Services for the information.
Besides showing the March Madness basketball games, does Carnival do anything else?
                
   Carnival's website says that they will have a March Madness Trivia activity. The time & location of this activity will be posted in the Carnival Hub App and on the What's Happening newsletter if this event is being held during your cruise. Carnival also encourages guests to wear their favorite team's attire. 
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.

Please note, any of this information is subject to change at any time and the games or events listed may be modified or not take place on all cruises.
