What sporting activity can you partake in whilst on board the cruise ships.

I know shuffleboard is the popular one. What else can you do?

I have seen on RCL that they play basketball. On some cruise ships you can play golf. On Norwegian Dream I did manage to play a game of table tennis.

The Braemar also had a table-tennis competition with an outside table, but I bet it's only serious if the weathers decent. Can you imagine playing in a gale (even if the table were indoors) with the table changing angle all the time?? (A true test of skill!)

NCL Pearl, when she enters service in December this year, will have the first full size ten pin bowling alley on board.

I am curious as to how the balls will stay straight in choppy or rough seas. I have visualisations of bowling balls running at full steam down the corridors knocking passengers over and wait staff trying to dodge them while carring trays of food.

If you have had a few drinks too many it might balance things out.
