To a diehard football fan, there is nothing\u2014absolutely nothing\u2014worse than missing a game. And, if you\u2019re traveling in the fall, it\u2019s all too easy to do. That is, it\u2019s easy to do if you\u2019re not traveling at sea. Unlike land-based vacations which can offer spotty coverage based on where you\u2019re going and how you\u2019re getting there, the following cruise lines go the whole nine yards to deliver some pretty intense onboard football action.<\/p>\n

Want to experience the real<\/em> magic of Disney? Catch a game on one of their ships. There are plenty of places to watch on board \u2013 the outdoor movie screen, the sports bar, or (on some ships) the Promenade Lounge \u2013 and NFL-themed activities with a Disney twist.<\/p>\n

Princess<\/h3>\n

If watching football on a giant outdoor screen is your perfect game-day, Princess may be the cruise line for you. The nearly 100 broadcasted games are accompanied by a smorgasbord of favorite game-day eats \u2013 pizza, burgers, hot dogs, and more \u2013 which can be washed down with buckets of beer and team-inspired drink specials.<\/p>\n

Football fans will find little fault in Royal Caribbean. Games are displayed on outdoor movie screens, at the sports bar, and<\/em> on cabin TVs. Plus, for special games like on Thanksgiving, the cruise line goes all<\/em> out. (Think football-themed decorations, trivia, and crew members dressed up in jerseys.)<\/p>\n
