Basketball Court on Grand Princess

[niborHS]

My son is used to having a basketball court on the ship; a great place for him to hang out and meet other teenagers to hang out with. It looks like there isn't one on the Grand, is this true?

Says here there is...

I'm guessing the tennis court doubles for basketball. I think there are a lot of ships that do that to save space.

Here is a picture of the area I took about two years ago with the hoop up top. May have to share with the paddle tennis folks. :D

Hi Robin,

 

We're on the same cruise as you. We are listed on the Roll Call as Cruisr and Son. We're from NJ. Son is 15 and a basketball nut. He's a freshman in HS and unfortunatly, did not make the freshman team but he does the recreation dept. basketball and loves it. On every large ship we've been on he's been at the basketball court.

 

When are you leaving for Houston? We're flying out on Friday night. I never like flying to the cruise the day of sailing, especially in the winter.

 

I'll keep checking the roll call to see where everyone may be meeting. Looks like a lot of people.

 

Bon voyage

There is a basketball court on the Grand, BUT I never saw anyone shooting hoops. Did see paddle tennis being played though.

Been on the Grand twice. The "at sea" days there were pickup games (3 0n 3 )in the morning time. I think in the Platter there were listings to advertise these games but I could be wrong. Hope this helps.

We were on the Grand 2 weeks ago and there was not a basketball hoop. My 15 yr old son was disappointed. For some reason they have been removed.
