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. I know y’all love that!!

Swaps? Ditto. I play every night I can, wherever it is offered. I would love to see it on all Carnival ships! We have just booked cruise numbers 25 and 26 and I am looking at where they have pickleball to book the next. I sometimes get bored on sea days, but I will spend every moment possible playing pickleball. Yes, I have a dinking problem! 0-0-2 is my lucky number! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandbob Posted August 18, 2022 #39 Share Posted August 18, 2022 An ER doctor in our local Ft Myers hospital says he sees at least 1 pickleball injury per shift every day he works. It's very popular here in SW FL, and most communities have their own pickleball and tennis courts. You get a good number of 60 + yrs players who try to play like they are in their 20's and something will pop, get twisted, snap, bruise or crackle.

My husband is having rotator cuff surgery next week after he tore it playing Pickleball. Now, to be fair, he was already having problems and this just finished it off. He actually switched hands and kept playing🤦♀️. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandbob Posted October 26, 2022 #48 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Expect an increase in passenger injuries if pickleball becomes common on cruise ships. The staff at one of our local hospital ERs claim they see at least one pickleball related injury per shift. Things like twisted knees to ACL tears, separated shoulders and scrapes and bruises from falls, eye and teeth injuries, etc. Players in their 60s & 70s try to approach the game as if they were still 20 or 30 years old. Throw in some alcohol, and injuries are just about guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I want to learn, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
