Trip is January 18-25, 2025, sailing out of New Orleans, with optional pre-cruise hotel stay in the French Quarter.
Exciting itinerary includes exclusive access to luxury pickleball facilities in Cozumel and Grand Cayman, with expert instruction by our hosts as well as daily open play for all guests onboard the ship.
Special group rates are based on double occupancy, and include cruise fare, taxes and port fees, plus participant registration.
Daily Open Play Pickleball is offered in the mornings of your cruise, from around 8AM to 11AM.
Open Play is located on the outdoor Sports Court.
“Open Play” means you simply show up to the court, grab a paddle and ball, and start playing. If the court is full when you arrive, you’ll have to wait for the court to open up.
It is recommended showing up as soon as the activity begins to guarantee an open court.
Ginny Alexander started teaching pickleball in 2014 and became PPR certified as a Coach in 2022 by legendary PPR Lead Clinician and Education Coordinator Sarah Ansboury.
Although her first love was volleyball, she took her collegiate volleyball coaching experience to the pickleball court in 2014 training high school age youth. Her background in coaching high level athletes in volleyball has helped her develop training programs in pickleball centered around movement, skill progression, and drill development.
In addition, she has in-depth athletic administrative experience having been a collegiate athletic director and coach for over 20 years. She holds an M.Ed in Education with a focus on Physical Education, Recreation and a concentration in Sport Psychology. She also continues to teach Sport Management and Sport Psychology courses at the collegiate level as well as mentoring coaches in several sports fields.
She takes on a wholistic approach when teaching pickleball and understands the dynamics of pushing each person to be their best. In 2024, she launched EndlessPickleball.org, a consortium of coaches and program providers who create events and new approaches to teaching pickleball. She loves to collaborate, create programs and host pickleball events. She is pickleball sponsored by Gearbox and Adidas.
