Yes they have a lounge with a tv & a bar on all their ships, I’m sure they will.

Ironically 1966 was the last time I was on a Cunard ship!

I was on Queen Mary 2 in October and don’t recall seeing any matches live however they did have Sky Sports News on the state room tv although coverage was dependant on satellites etc. Doing a world cruise on her from January to end of April so my football season will pause on 10 January as the QM2 internet is crap.

I was on Victoria 10 days ago and watched a couple of the games in the lounge / bar area..

The sweetness of watching Japan turn it around against the Germans was one of the highlights of my trip.. there were several Grmans who when they went in to the lead were saying their name was already on the cup.. schadenfreude

The proles can probably get egg and chips in Blumenthal's if they make enough racket.

The Captaon on our last cruise told the same joke on his introduction address at his cocktail party 😉

Some years ago, but I was on a San Malo to Portsmouth ferry whose departure got delayed due to 'technical problems. F'ortunately said problems were rectified about 5 minutes after the European Cup Final finished; apparently the TVs only worked when they were in port

Was on P&o’s Iona on Nov 12 when we played Rovers, sadly they only show Prem games and World Cup on their sports channels. While Ashley was tearing them apart, they were showing live yacht racing from Dubai.

My Dad was on the Queen Elizabeth (Cunard) a few years ago and he watched the Australian GP in one of the bars - whilst cruising around Australia.

One thing to remember - don't throw your beer in the air if we score.....
