The "Big Game" is tomorrow and you've got plenty of watching options.

You can have a house party, head over to one of the many bars and restaurants holding watch parties.

If you've got vacation days coming to you, you can hop a flight to New Orleans -- or you could sail away on a Carnival ship for a football-party-at-sea.

It's actually not too late because the Carnival Freedom sails from Port Everglades tomorrow, February 3, for a six-day cruise to Jamaica, the Caymans, and Key West, starting at $399 per person.

Carnival passengers, by the way, will be served custom libations created by

Carnival's Senior Beverage Operations Manager Cem Erdogan. The two

team-themed "Big Game" cocktails will be available Sunday only on board all of

Carnival's fleet.

The Baltimore Purple Crush, is a powerful

blend of gin, rum, vodka, and  passion fruit juice, while the San

Francisco Red Rush is a potent combination of gin, rum, vodka, tequila,

Cointreau, and guava juice.

Can't sail away?  Make them at home for your watch party with these recipes, courtesy of Carnival.
