Eastern's Time Zones and Football and...

[PoohJen]

Hi All!

Trying to plan out my brunch and spa times, around Art of Entertaining and bingo and....Sunday football! We're on Nov 13th Eastern cruise - anyone know what time zones we'll be in during NFL Sunday games? Is there a good selection of games (now that ESPN zone is gone)?

Thanks!

I'm in same "boat" with the football thing. We are on the cruise Nov. 6 Western and can't wait. We are HUGE N.E. Pats fans. Anyways, I can only tell you that the Patriots play the Bills on Sunday. Nov. 14 at 8:30 PM EST on ESPN. I am not sure about time zones and all that. Sorry and good luck.
GO PATRIOTS!!!!!

Oh, good answer!!! duh, should've checked w/ DH, b/c it was Bills I was looking for!!!

oh, rats - looks like i'd better plan to do the Golden Mickeys at matinee time!


(p.s. Pats are our #2, having lived in MA for over 7 yrs; Bills are our #1 as DH is from there - have pity on us!) so, go Bills! (go Bledsoe?)

Thanks again!

Hey Jen, die hard football fan here. Just signed up for NFL Fantasy Football again this year and anticipating the automated draft.

The only time I am bored on Sunday is between SuperBowl and the start of NASCAR.

I am taking November 14th off from watching though this year. Unless there is nothing else going on at that time. (highly unlikely)

Oh well, one missed game out of all season won't be to terribly bad.

Think you guys have planning issues....we are college football fans who are trying to figure out if we they will let us on the ship in time to see the Purdue/Notre Dame game on Saturday10/2. Which is more important, the first half or spa ressies????

confal1 - Take care of our Boilers. I think you have 4 of them now. When we watch NFL, we cheer for whichever team has the most alumni!! Boiler Up!!

Clocks will be set forward somewhere between Port Canaveral and St. Maarten, but I'm not sure if they will have been adjusted yet by Sunday. No worries, though. You will know if the clocks have been adjusted in time to adjust your expectations. And worst case scenario is that you show up for the game an hour early.

I think the clocks are pushed ahead Monday morning. Just get there early and have some Be-ahs and watch the pregame. It will be hyped for Bledsoe vs. Brady again. Love Bruschi and Teddy Johnson. Go PATS!

I would think you will want to get there early also. Last year my dh strolled in 5 minutes to kickoff for the Giants/Jets game and there wasn't a seat to be found. Luckily someone's wife was just keeping him company so when she left, he got her seat at the bar.
Keep in mind though these were 2 NJ teams and it was"NJ Week" on the cruise.
I am not sure if it is actually that crowded every sunday.

MNF starts at 10:00 since the time zone is 1 hour ahead of eastern time. This is slightly off topic but it might be helpful for somee peoples plans.
