As the exclusive Official Cruise Line of the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA), that's what you can find on Holland America Line. All ships in our fleet feature pickleball courts with amazing top-deck views that will be refreshed by February 2023, including adding new PPA Tour partner logos.Dec 19, 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fkfad Posted January 24, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 24, 2023 We have never seen a reservation system for the Pickleball/Basketball courts... It has always been first come, first served. Having said that, we have not sailed on any of the ships that have dedicated Pickleball courts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy-mae Posted January 24, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Before Pickleball's surge in popularity on HA ships we simply arranged to play at a certain time with like-minded guests. It sounds like there is now more scheduled play, so hopefully the cruise director will look in from time to time just to keep things running smoothly.

TYIA The paddles take a lot of use/abuse so I would suggest that you bring your own, as well as a few balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkfad Posted January 24, 2023 #14 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I agree with daisy-mae! They have paddles which are better than nothing, however, your own paddles would be a better option. Many guests are willing to share their paddles if you don't have your own. Also, take some of your own balls (for outdoor play). We were on a 14-day cruise out of Amsterdam and all of the ship's balls were broken. Because our ports were smaller in nature, they couldn't get new balls for days. We created our own version of Pickleball using tennis balls as a short-term solution...it was fun, challenging, and we were still on a Pickleball court... lol So, Pickleball balls are now on my standard cruise packing list. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nieuw Statie's captain will be either Capt. Noel O'Driscoll from, you guessed it, Ireland, or Capt. Eric Barhorst from The Netherlands. Not sure about the CD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
