Cruise Sweepstakes: Win a “Pickleball at Sea” Cruise for Two on Holland America

Win a Free Cruise by Entering the “Pickleball at Sea” Sweepstakes!

Due to the exploding popularity of pickleball and recent addition of pickleball courts to Holland America ships, Holland America Line has teamed up with the PPA Pickleball Tour to offer a chance to win a free cruise for two!

Now before I get to the details of the sweepstakes, allow me a brief rant. I’m among the few who do not like the addition of pickleball courts to cruise ships, especially HAL ships. Why? It’s not because I don’t like the sport. In fact, it looks like loads of fun (I’m just too busy eating 23 out of 24 hours each cruise day to find out). No, it’s because I frequently cruise with my 10-year-old son who is a huge basketball fan and the conversion of onboard basketball courts to pickleball courts for a portion of each day means one less thing to keep him entertained and his fingers out of my food. For the love, someone teach this kid pickleball and that if he wants some famous Holland America bread pudding, he should get his own! End rant. Onto the sweepstakes…
