All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy – though one might argue that the whole point of this cruise was to play pickleball. Regardless, this pickleball cruise is packed with all the usual cruise amenities and entertainment options that you could think of.
While you’re off the pickleball courts, you might find yourself sliding down water slides, having a go in the VR room, hitting some lanes at the glow-in-the-dark bowling alley, or having a ball at any of the Broadway-style musical performances on board.
P.S.: We hear that there are over 35 different dining options that you can choose from on the Genting Dream.
Prices for the pickleball cruise start from $326, depending on the stateroom that you pick. Do note that you’ll have to sign up for this cruise before 31st January 2026.
Time’s running out before sign-ups close for this inaugural pickleball cruise. Although if you do miss this one, here’s hoping that there will be more in the works so you can have your chance to defend your kitchen on the high seas too.
