albhms69 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 I would look at the Cruise Compass for the ship you are traveling on. Next I would find the most current one and then check each day under entertainment They should list Open play pickleball and times. If there isn't any times slotted for pickleball then the ship doesn't have pickleball equipment. Looks like the Allure of the Seas has it. Open play on 3 courts 6 out of 7 days.

Neesa Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Odyssey of the Seas has it in the sports plex we just sailed her December 2021. The times were always listed on the Cruise Compass or within the app. Seemed very popular, it was a very nice space and set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on Oasis a couple of weeks ago and the three courts were full with a few waiting. Pickleball central rally paddles and looked like onix balls were available to use and a couple people had brought their own paddles. We just watched, but looked like people were playing a game and then rotating out if people waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillaryG Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Yes, it is available most mornings on the sports court. You just show up. They have equipment, but you could bring your own. It was pretty popular on oasis a couple of weeks ago. IMG_4924.HEIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If folks show up with someone to play with or if single players come to just play with others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy cheap way to add to the entertainment roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If folks show up with someone to play with or if single players come to just play with others. It could be different from sailing to sailing, but I would think a single player could get into the mix of play. My husband and I were standing around watching and people asked us if we wanted to play and get into the next game going out. I would say some of the people playing on the ships have played on land and on land tends to be rotational play, allowing for single players to mix in.

It was available on our sailing a couple of weeks ago. However, only while in port, as they had the sports court and rock wall closed whenever the ship was in motion, due to maintenance on the stack, and concerns of debris from the maintenance falling in those areas. Hopefully they have than maintenance done by now, or very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinkm Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Bumping this again to ask what the experience is like if you've never played pickleball? Are people patient, or intense/competitive? I've played tennis (not well) so perhaps that would give me some insight? Has anyone ever seen a "learn to play pickleball" offering on a ship?

I watched from the Diamond Lounge patio area on Explorer last week and it seemed to be a mix and the better players were tolerant and teaching those new to the game. The dynamics will always depend on who is participating. I would hope everyone is there to have an enjoyable time and not just to "win". jbrinkm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
