During our stay in Grand Cayman, we had an absolutely amazing time, especially with the pickleball experience and the stunning famous 7 mile beach beach access. The Locale Resort itself was great! What an amazing time we had, having the opportunity to combine our passions for pickleball and travel. We had a fabulous time with other players, who quickly became friends, as well as talented Hungarian players, including a national champion. This was a first class trip, well organized and executed. Thank you Connection to Cruise and Amadeus Cruises. The Amadeus Star is a beautiful ship, with world class accommodations and service. A voyage of a lifetime!

Betsy, George, and Marlys were incredibly warm, welcoming, and always available, ensuring that everyone had fun and got to do exactly what they wanted. Betsy was an excellent trip coordinator—from the initial reservation all the way to the last day. She made sure I had all the necessary information before booking and went above and beyond in sharing key tips to prepare for my first cruising experience, making sure this won’t be my last!

This trip was the best adventure I have ever experienced. Playing pickle on shore with the locals was fantastic! Language was no barrier, all you need are smiles and fingers for score. It was the love of pickleball that brought congeniality to the group. No arrogance just camaraderie. Our friendship will last forever. It was perfectly organized. I would go again.

This past month I had the honor to be on the Amadeus Star inaugural Pickleball & Classical Danube Riverboat Cruise, from May 18 - 27, 2023.
