DanBoy Posted January 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Was on Holland America in November and they had Pickleball. Quite a few of us played.. I will be on the Magic Feb 6 and wondering if it is on Carnival ships?...Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrestler171 Posted January 22, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2022 No, they only have a basketball/volleyball court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted January 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Haven't seen pickleball on any of the 17 Carnival ships I've sailed. Side note: Local ER doctor stated he sees at least one pickleball injury each shift in a Ft Myers local hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audcc77 Posted January 22, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2022 We were on the MG and we were disappointed we didn’t bring our things just to keep in practice because the basketball court was deserted when we saw it. I’d bring it along since it doesn’t take hardly any room. No nets or lines or anything but now that we’re back home, we’re not so great. 😞 Hopefully it will gain popularity on ships because it’s supposed to be the fasted growing sport now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enryon Posted July 26, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) I believe some Holland America and Princess ships have it. Edit: please see my post below. Carnival has multiple ships where you can enjoy a game of pickleball. Edited July 26, 2022 by Enryon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enryon Posted July 26, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Looks like I was totally wrong. Carnival does offer pickleball. from carnivals website. Pickleball Featured on Carnival Breeze, Carnival Celebration, Carnival Dream, Carnival Horizon, Carnival Jubilee, Carnival Legend, Carnival Magic, Carnival Miracle, Carnival Panorama, Carnival Pride, Carnival Spirit, Carnival Splendor, Carnival Vista and Mardi Gras. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boats fit on ships, the boats on Carnival ships are typically only used for emergencies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe13 Posted July 27, 2022 #14 Share Posted July 27, 2022 So, found this on the page that shall not be mentioned. A direct quote from John Heald: We have now added the game of Pickleball or is it Pickle Ball? Anyway this fun game of short tennis is available on Carnival Panorama only for now but if popular we will add to other ships as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted July 27, 2022 #16 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I don’t know anything about it but I saw the other day that Drew Brees owns a major league pickle ball team of some sort. I had never seen it before this. https://www.instagram.com/p/CgRmKjuLcp2/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted July 27, 2022 #17 Share Posted July 27, 2022 We are big Pickleball players - even brought our paddles and ballson our June Magic cruise. No nets or any other equipment. When I asked Guest Services they didn't even know what I was talking about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girlloves2cruise Posted July 27, 2022 #19 Share Posted July 27, 2022 RCCL has many ships that offer Pickleball. I think its a great addition to the other activities on board. We are Sailing WONDER in Oct but unfortunately they are not one that offers it yet. Join in, its a great sport for all ages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierpop Posted July 27, 2022 #20 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Love pickleball. Play if 5 times a week. But that wind in a ship? Actually, if I drink enough, it may counter the wind……… 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisemom67 Posted August 16, 2022 #21 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I play 5-7 times per week...Definitely wonder how the wind will affect it. We were just on Vista and they didn't have it (early July). According to website they now have it. I hope they will ACTUALLY have it open...put nets out, balls out, etc. Has anyone actually played on board? We go on Breeze in December and my paddle will be coming with!!!

Try it you might like it, kind of cross between tennis and pingpong on a court. Fast action and fun…..and now back to your originally schedule programming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
