Currently sitting on a cruise ship off Australia (left last Monday) and don’t get home until just before Final Four weekend. No TV available because my streaming app is blacked out internationally.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain "Innocents Abroad"
Enjoy yourself!
Reminds me of 2020 when 16 of us Jayhawks were touring Australia and New Zealand, getting up each morning to check the scores as the season ended, then suddenly learning there’d be no postseason. At least you won’t have to worry about that!
Safe and fun voyage!

Do you have a VPN? If so, you might be able to connect via a US server. I do this all the time to watch pro cycling races on European outlets. Set the VPN so that it appears I'm located in another country.
Nevertheless, enjoy the trip. Sadly, I don't think you're going to miss a whole lot.

Ours wasn't a cruise. Land nav and air hop as needed.
Flight into Brisbane, then up to Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef
Plane to Yulara, then to Alice Springs and Uluru, then plane to Sydney.
Sydney to Christchurch, NZ (South Island), then to Mt. Cook, then to Queenstown and surrounding area, then plane to Rotorua (North Island), then bus to Auckland and sites along the way, a side trip on our own to the Hobbiton Movie Set near Matamata, then back to Auckland before finally leaving for the plague infested US the day after the leaders of NZ and Australia closed their countries due to the pandemic.
Lots of luggage hauling and many varying levels of lodging (Mt. Cook was SOOO cool!) and lots of fun except for the issues created by the pandemic. Ours was the very last tour to go through both countries before they closed down. We were very fortunate everything went as well as it did.
We want to return and see more of both countries. I particularly want to see Melbourne and Adelaide and Perth as a minimum, plus return to NZ and roam both the north & south islands.
Hope you have as much fun as we did!
