Waterslides - Metal sliders on straps on swimwear

[ilovetotravel1977]

Ladies! We all know that 85% of women's swimwear has adjustable straps with metal sliders. Are we still able to ride the water slides on the BA and GA or do you get turned away?

 

We'll be on the Escape and I'm assuming the same rules will apply.

 

I had zero issue on the Epic slides.

One sure fire way of not getting turned around is to remove said items of swimwear before proceding down the slide, or better still at the begining of the queue, that way maybe you will get to the front quicker, i'm sure i would prefer you in front of me .....lol :p :D

Thanks for asking! I've been wondering same. I was able to find one bathing suit that has no metal at all, but my other suit has the straps you referred to with metal slider adjusters.

With the size of swimwear we see, is there enough material to secure a slider?:eek:

[ilovetotravel1977]

Oh, there is for mine, Ruthless Boss! lol

I'm going to say no, men are turned away for metal grommets/rivets on their pockets.

 

To be safe, find a swimsuit that does not have metal on the shoulder straps. None of my bathing suits have them (Lands End).

 

The metal will scratch the slides and if it were to get caught on something it could cause serious injuries.

 

The no metal rule only applies to the freefall water slide.

[ilovetotravel1977]

Hmm, maybe I could wrap them with tape lol

 

Everyone one of my suits has adjustable straps, Land Ends suits have zero support for me :P

 

I wonder if the person working the slides has to ask every single person if they have metal on their suit?

The no metal rule only applies to the freefall water slide.

 

Don't you have to wear some type of back pad? I've seen that in pics from te BA and GA...

I don't have medal sliders on my bikini! Just ties!

You don't have to wear it, it's optional. That said, I highly recommend you do wear it, those slides can be tough on your back.

I was on the Getaway last week and I wear the bandeau tops from Victorias Secret. It has the metal clip on the back. I was not turned away on any of the slides :) All jewelry does have to be removed. And totally not what you ask, but you have to weight 99lbs. as well. My 12 year old was sent back down :(

I have read that you can't wear jewelry as well. Does that mean I have to take off my wedding ring?

Yes, no jewelry on the freefall slides.

The last I heard, wedding rings are jewelry:D

Wear a rash guard shirt ....you shouldn't have a problem with that over your top.

That's a good idea.

The back boards were only on the Breakaway, I never saw them on my Getaway cruise. They also don't make you wear them anymore, but I guess you could wear it to cover up the metal pieces on swimsuit straps.

I was just going to say the same thing!!
