Cruise ship bowling alley planned
A four-lane bowling alley is the latest attraction to be added to a cruise ship.
Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Pearl will feature bowling as part of a sports bar and nightclub complex when the ship enters service next year.
The NCL innovation follows Royal Caribbean adding a surf park to soon to be launched Freedom of the Seas, ice rinks on its Voyager-class vessels and rock climbing across a range of ships.
Bowling will feature alongside flat screen TVs showing sporting events and arcade games in the ‘Bliss’ complex on board Norwegian Pearl. At night the area will be transformed into a nightclub.
NCL’s UK general manager Francis Riley said: “We were the first to offer Broadway shows in our theatres, onboard bugee trampolines and giant gyroscopes on board Pride of America, and now we have introduced the industry’s first bowling alley.”
