Rare donswife Posted June 30, 2018 #26 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Just when you think you've seen it all: A registered non-profit group dedicated to the advancement of cornhole. I can top that: the tv I could see while exercising at the gym was set to ESPN, featuring the national Cornhole doubles championship, sponsored by Johnsonville sausage. If I'd had my phone with me, I would have taken a picture of the screen. It is officially a thing!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingofcool1947 Posted June 30, 2018 #27 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hello!Can anyone tell me if Regal Princess has corn hole / bean bag toss boards for passenger use? Wife and I looking at a couple of weeks duration, but really enjoy playing aboard. We only sail on ships with them. Thanks!! Dan No. Enjoy your cruise.

TheRabbit Posted July 1, 2018 #28 Share Posted July 1, 2018 no not on ruby or star. Got off the Ruby last Saturday and happened to see it from deck 7 as a competition going on in the Piazza on deck 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted July 1, 2018 #29 Share Posted July 1, 2018 YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!! ( I hope this was a joke). I can see not taking a particular cruise because there is no rock climbing, or flow-rider, but a bean-bag toss?? Give me a break! "Hey honey, I'm checking out the cruises for next year, found one that has a bean-bag toss, let's go!" You took the words out of my mouth. If this is not a joke?? Maybe we can play for some extra Butter at dinner. :o . I can only think of one thing better a bottle of that Great Princess Champagne :bottle-pop: the boy make fresh every Tuesday in the boiler room. :D The Captain of The Rowboat, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wood Duck Posted July 1, 2018 #30 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Your definition is much more family friendly than what I learned growing up. How true, one needs only to listen to 70's rocker Frank Zappa sing the song "Broken Hearts are for ..." on the Sheik Yerbouti album. The lyrics define "Corn Hole" in a less dignified manner. :evilsmile: Edited July 1, 2018 by The Wood Duck Correct song title ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDay Posted July 1, 2018 #32 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Most people would know it as a bean bag toss rather than corn hole. Something akin to horseshoes but with bean bags and a hole rather than horseshoes and a stick. ;) They have one on the Regal, but it is kept locked away and only brought out when the cruise directors staff is playing a game. I can't imagine them leaving it out for anyone to use. I'm sure in no time the bean bags would sprout legs! :D Best you book your next cruise with MSC Dan, if that is a must have for you.

dandeck Posted July 2, 2018 Author #34 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Thanks again to all with pertinent responses!! I see there are several who are clueless about the immense and growing popularity of the game. Why respond?! Weird. Had to laugh at the ones with literally thousands of responses and posts on these boards that weren't even close to answering the simple question?!! REALLY weird. Probably need to get out more. No wonder not familiar with the game. LOL To those who actually responded to the question, appreciated!! BTW, to those who are not familiar, it is great exercise as well. Lots of walking!! Great for keeping in shape. Happy cruising to all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it is not offered on board, maybe you can suggest it on the Princess survey? Enjoy the cruise, and your quest for corn hole.

Does one have to be arrogant to play? What I think is funny is that some new kids on the block took an old term, and corrupted it as a name for their game. Who ever did it was probably familiar with the original meaning, and laughs hysterically every time it is used in this context. If one is not easily offended, google the term in an urban dictionary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention ESPN has a long term contract with the ACL (American Cornhole League for those who don't get out much!
