Skeet Shooting

[Mark]

It seems like most of the cruises that I have taken recently have not offered skeet shooting. Does anyone know why cruise lines seem to be avoiding this popular at sea activity? The ships I have been on that have offered it have always had lines of people waiting to participate. What gives?

I think it's the enviromental consideration about all those clay pigeons and shot flying into the ocean that ended the practice.

Skeet shooting aboard cruise ships ended at least ten years ago, maybe more.

 

But regardless of any environmental concerns, which was the original reason for banning the practice (same as driving golf balls off the fantail)...

 

With today's world, I'm not sure I want to see passengers with guns, especially after a few foo foo drinks.

Eleven cruises so far. Up next:

Shhhh, it's a surprise!

Followed by:

Carnival Valor 10/30/05 CC Group

And then:

Carnival Spirit 12/10/05 Mexican Riviera

Perhaps something else as well. Watch this space.

 

Dance like it hurts, love like you need money, and work when somebody's watching.

On Celebrity, nets are used with the the outside golf and M class ships have simulators. There are a few ports with skeet shooting offered if you are interested.
