Pickleball is quickly becoming one of America’s fastest-growing sports, and Carnival is joining in by adding Pickleball to their ships beginning with Carnival Conquest.
Carnival Conquest’s team members were the first to test out the new pickleball court that was added during its recent dry dock. The new court is located on the ship’s top deck, players will be able to enjoy the game and take in ocean views all at the same time.
Pickleball is a two- or four-person sport where players hit a perforated hollow ball over a net using solid-faced paddles, combining elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. The game has existed for decades, but it has seen surging popularity across the U.S. recently and growing interest internationally as well.
Carnival Conquest has become the first Carnival ship to feature a permanent pickleball court, but the game can be played on board several other ships across the Carnival fleet as well – equipment has recently been added to most ships featuring basketball courts, where the game can be also be played.
Pickleball joins several other popular activities as part of Carnival SportSquare, which includes facilities for games such as mini golf, volleyball and basketball.
Carnival Conquest’s pickleball court is one of several recent ship enhancements, which also includes the addition of Carnival’s new signature livery which features a stunning red, white, and blue hull design. Carnival Conquest sails from PortMiami year-round and offers a range of itineraries to The Bahamas as well as other Caribbean destinations.
