Pickleball is a sport that’s growing in popularity in the United States, and now it has a special place on board America’s Cruise Line – Carnival Conquest. The team members of Carnival Conquest were the first to test out the new pickleball court that was added during the ship’s recent dry dock.
Located on the top deck, the pickleball court offers players breathtaking ocean views while they play. Pickleball is a two- or four-person sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. Players hit a perforated hollow ball over a net using solid-faced paddles.
Although Carnival Conquest is the first ship in the Carnival fleet to have a permanent pickleball court, the game can be played on several other ships as well, where equipment has recently been added to most ships featuring basketball courts.
Carnival Conquest’s pickleball court is part of Carnival SportSquare, which includes popular activities such as mini-golf, volleyball, and basketball.
The new pickleball court is just one of several recent enhancements to Carnival Conquest. The ship now features Carnival’s new signature livery, with a stunning red, white, and blue hull design. Sailing from PortMiami year-round, Carnival Conquest offers a range of itineraries to The Bahamas and other Caribbean destinations.
Join the pickleball fun on board America’s Cruise Line and experience the excitement of this fast-growing sport with breathtaking ocean views.
