Poolside Parties Offer Top-Deck Tailgating Combined With Dramatic Viewing Experience on Giant 'Movies Under the Stars' Screens
SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Jan. 30 -- Football fans aboard Princess ships will have an opportunity to enjoy a super tailgate party at sea on February 4, with prime viewing of the match-up between the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLI. The "Big Game" will be broadcast to passengers in a very big format, on the vessels' 300-square-foot super-size "Movies Under the Stars" screens.
Passengers aboard Caribbean Princess, Crown Princess, Sea Princess and Grand Princess will be able to follow the action between the AFC and NFC Champions, broadcast by ESPN International, while enjoying an array of tailgate treats including specially prepared chili, pigs-in-a-blanket, hamburgers, pizza, and other "munchies" to complement the game.
"It's hard to think of a more perfect venue to watch this famous face-off, than under our 'Movies Under the Stars' screen," said Jan Swartz, Princess' senior vice president of customer service and sales. "Enjoying the game on this giant screen, sitting outside on the top deck of one of our beautiful ships and enjoying a special Super Bowl party is sure to offer loads of fun for our passengers."
Most Princess ships without "Movies Under the Stars" screens will also show the game (depending on satellite availability) and host Super Bowl parties in one or more of the ship's public lounges.
The Super Bowl is one of many special events and features shown daily on Princess' giant Times Square-style "Movies Under the Stars" LED screens. The unique, 300-square-foot screens show up to seven movies or events daily, including family films and first run hits, as well as concert footage and other special programming. In the evenings, lounge chairs are covered with special cushions and blankets and Princess' hallmark poolside service is available to enhance the viewing experience with free popcorn plus a variety of drink specials and movie nibbles. The upcoming Emerald Princess will also feature a "Movies Under the Stars" screen when it debuts in April.
