Wii on Norwegian Cruise Line

Posted on April 22, 2007

Wii game systems are now part of Norwegian Cruise Line according to a press release from cruise provider. The game will be played on the Norwegian Pearl and all NCL America ships. Wii will be rolled out on the rest of the NCL fleet by next month. Tournaments will be held on the cruise ships.

Colin Veitch, NCL's president and CEO, says in a statement, "With its active, engaging and inviting game experiences appealing to every age from kids to parents to grandparents, the Wii from Nintendo is a natural fit for Freestyle Cruising. With the addition of Wii to our on-board activities, we can now offer bowling, boxing, golf, tennis and baseball across the entire fleet. Cheering, yelling and high-fives will be highly encouraged."

The tournaments sound like fun. Hopefully, cruise ship guests won't play Wii all the time and avoid the interesting stops along the cruise. It is a terrific alternative for any gloomy rainy days on the ship.
