Yeah. It looked like fun, but we didn't give it a try. Maybe you'll be more adventurous.

If it's bocce, you first throw a tiny, white ball (we call it a pig) and then you try to get as close as possible to the pig with the regular bocce balls. And yes, you can knock your competitors balls away as well.

Here's a picture from this morning's Cruise Critic home page taken on the Lawn Club of the Solstice:

It's similar to traditional bowling, but a little different since there are no pins. The cruise staff will host games up at the Lawn Club occasionally, and we also had an officers vs. guests game on our cruise. Very cute.

They also have croquet and putting, too.

Carole's right about the putting green and croquet. They also might let you mow the lawn :)
