Viewing Monaco Grand Prix

[Ladybugx87]

does anyone know if the Monaco Grand Prix (formula one) would be broadcast on the cruises? My husband is a fan and it falls on a sea day.
Thanks.

O'Grills may show it, subject to the channels it's on and if they can use them. F1 in Europe is now mostly shown live on subscription services.

I would suggest he puts in a request in advance at O'Grills.

F1 in the US isnow broadcast by ESPN, so decent chance they’ll have it.

Thanks. He said it will be on ESPN2 so hopefully!

There is a race of almost equal notoriety on most DCL cruises...it is called Jack-Jack's Incredible Diaper Dash. In case you can't get the Monte Carlo race on TV, consider this as a fun substitute. It is a series of races held in the atrium during the day (not sure if it has a set time...check the Navigator for details) in which young kids of crawling age, race down a lined course for prizes and loud, but brief, fame. We saw one once on our WBTA that had so few participants that one dad got down on his hands and knees to help deliver a valid final championship round (one of the finalists refused to race...might have been a diaper issue). He gave it his all with many theatrics, slipping and sliding, loss of balance, etc. to the point where he lost the race and the baby won. It was a hoot that everyone on all levels enjoyed for some time. This race is environmentally friendly since no petrol is used or tires abused. Money was not lost (betting, if at all, might have been under cover). Racers hold no grudge against the winners...it's a baby thing.
It made the day for us...it might for you. Good luck!!

Our younger daughter was supposed to do this on our Alaska cruise a few years back and fell asleep just before her ‘heat’. The CMs were hilarious.

Looks like the Magic is all clued up on major events.

On the EBTA re the Royal Wedding,

They watched the wedding from the promenade lounge and at the end all the Disney Princesses came waving the Union Jack flag.
