Paddle tennis

Hello...I am a cruise newbie and am sailing on Sappire Princess 02/08/14. I read they have paddle tennis on board. I am an avid pickle ball player. Are they the same sport?

Not really see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickleball

Just completed the EURODAM Panama cruise (Oct - Nov 2017) where 6 to 16 of us played the fastest growing sport in the world, PICKLEBALL, on 12 different days notwithstanding wind challenges.

Slowly, more and more ships will or should be promoting this most enjoyable activity...

Am booked next on the VOLENDAM for their March Asia cruise - can anyone tell me it they have PICKLEBALL lines, a net and equipment for use on their sports deck?

EDITQUOTE

Very few ships have paddle tennis.

I play it on Crystal Symphony and Serenity.

Isn't this ping pong?

No....ping pong is table tennis.

PICKLEBALL does not use a table, it's net is similar but a few inches lower than a tennis net, uses a solid racket similar to table tennis but about 50% bigger and a hard plastic hollow ball full of holes a bit larger than a tennis ball and a court about the size of a badminton court.....
