Big “ask” here, please, but 100% understand if it’s simply not something do-able!! For the November TA—there are 10 of us hoping to play pickleball. Any chance you might be able to discover how many courts they have, if they have paddles & balls, and if it’s available daily? (Or, if you’re a sleuth-er….an email address for the cruise director and we’ll inquire ourselves?) Totally get it if it’s out of your wheelhouse…we all are just a bit puzzled as to how it works on the ship.😊 Thank you for your consideration:). Gretchen We do not interact with the CD, but I'll poke around the sports court and see what I can find out. Btw, posting on CC has been difficult, often having to submit post numerous times. Just in case there is a delayed response from those of us onboard. There has been no problem streaming Netflix or Hulu via the TV or any other function via the internet. Just issues with CC. 🤔 Edited October 29, 2022 by LACruiser88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretchen A group of 6 family members who were with us on our first 11 days played pickleball every sea day. Balls and paddles are supplied. I don't know how many courts there are, but if I venture to that end of the ship I will try to figure it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are careful, you don't have control of the booking and they typically want to put 8 people in a minivan. If you don't care about space and comfort, then they are probably fine. We had a great informative driver for the trip north from Livorno... it's a significant drive if you Google Map it. Our guide had the timing for the ferries down pat and was good also. At least shop around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
