Pickleball is offered on many ships. There are scheduled open play pickle times throughout the cruise. One must be flexible because the ship’s court is often not regulation size. Often the lines are not fully marked and equipment needs to be set up. I bring my own paddle because I am picky about the weight of the paddle. It can get quite windy on sea days. Princess and Holland have adequate pickleball facilities. Royal Caribbean has a court that can accomodate three nets.

Playing pickleball is a fun way to meet people on the ship. There is nothing like being in the middle of the ocean and getting my favorite type of exercise.
