Pickle ball on Nieuw Statendam

[philliesgirl48]

Has anyone played pickle ball on the Nieuw Statendam? Do they provide the paddles & balls? 

Has their been a good response to the games?

I have played pickleball on the Maasdam and more recently on the Zuiderdam.  There are paddles and balls, but the paddles are the basic wooden ones; I would suggest that you bring your own (and maybe even a spare).

The response on the Zuiderdam was very positive. There is a scheduled time published for pickleball in the daily "When & Where"; that would be the best opportunity to meet fellow players and possibly exchange room numbers if you want to arrange a time that is suitable for everyone.

I played on a recent cruise on the Koningsdam.  The paddles were provided  but quite a few players had also brought their own.  It was my first time playing so I was happy with the ship equipment.

I'm happy to hear that pickleball is available on the Koningsdam as well. I think HAL could find a niche that may just help to attract a new segment of cruisers.
